Privacy Policy for HoloMet **Last Updated: December 17, 2025** We operate the HoloMet mobile application (the "App"), which provides AI-powered face swapping features for photos and videos. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose, and protect your information, with a particular emphasis on facial data processed through the App. By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App. 1. Information We Collect We collect the following types of information: a. Facial Data (Biometric Information) When you use the face swap feature, you upload photos or videos containing faces. The App processes these images or videos to detect facial features (such as landmarks for eyes, nose, mouth, and contours) to perform the face swap. This processing may involve biometric data under applicable laws (e.g., facial geometry or templates used temporarily for swapping). - We do **not** collect or store permanent biometric identifiers for identification purposes. - Facial data is used solely to generate the swapped content you request. - We do **not** use your facial data for any other purpose, such as training AI models beyond the immediate swap, advertising, or profiling. b. Uploaded Content - Photos, videos, or other media you upload for face swapping. - Generated outputs (swapped images/videos) that you create and may download or share. c. Other Personal Information - If you create an account: Email address, username, or other registration details. - Device information: IP address, device type, operating system, and App usage data (e.g., analytics on features used). - Payment information: If you make in-app purchases, this is handled by third-party payment processors (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play), and we do not store your payment details. We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary for the face swap function. 2. How We Use Your Information - To provide the App's core functionality: Processing uploaded media to perform face swaps and generate results. - To improve the App: Anonymous analytics to understand usage patterns and fix bugs. - To communicate with you: Respond to support requests or send updates (if you opt-in). - For legal compliance: Respond to lawful requests or protect our rights. We do **not** use your facial data or uploaded content for marketing, third-party advertising, or model training without your explicit separate consent. 3. Data Sharing and Disclosure We do **not** share, sell, or disclose your facial data, uploaded photos/videos, or generated content with any third parties, except in the following limited circumstances: - **Service Providers**: We may use trusted third-party providers (e.g., cloud hosting for temporary processing) bound by strict confidentiality agreements. These providers are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to us. - **Legal Requirements**: If required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or property. - **Business Transfers**: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred with notice to you. Your facial data and uploaded content are **never shared with third parties** for advertising, analytics, or any non-essential purpose. 4. Data Storage and Retention (Facial Data Compliance) Your privacy is our priority, especially regarding sensitive facial data: - Uploaded photos/videos and facial processing data are stored **temporarily only**. - All facial data (including any temporary biometric templates or features extracted for swapping) is automatically deleted from our servers **within 48 hours** after processing your request, unless you explicitly save or download the output. - Generated swapped content is available for download immediately and deleted from our servers after 48 hours if not downloaded. - We do not retain any permanent records of your facial features or biometric data. - If you delete your account or request deletion, all associated data is immediately removed. This limited retention minimizes risks and ensures compliance with biometric privacy laws (e.g., GDPR Article 9 on special categories of data, CCPA/CPRA sensitive personal information rules, and similar regulations). 5. Data Security We implement industry-standard security measures, including: - Encryption for data in transit and at rest. - Secure servers with access controls. - Regular security audits. However, no system is completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and account credentials. 6. Your Rights and Choices Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws like GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or others: - **Access**: Request a copy of your data. - **Deletion**: Request deletion of your data (we will comply promptly, subject to legal obligations). - **Correction**: Correct inaccurate data. - **Opt-Out**: Opt out of any non-essential processing (though our App has minimal non-essential uses). - **Withdraw Consent**: Stop using the App at any time. To exercise rights, contact us at [reitzerde@outlook.com]. We will respond within the legally required timeframe (e.g., 30-45 days). For California residents: We do not "sell" or "share" personal information as defined under CCPA/CPRA. 7. Children's Privacy The App is not intended for children under 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we learn of such collection, we will delete it immediately. 8. International Data Transfers Data may be processed in servers located outside your country (e.g., in the United States or EU). We ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) for transfers. 9. Changes to This Policy We may update this Policy. Significant changes will be notified via the App or email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. 10. Contact Us For questions, concerns, or rights requests: - Email: [reitzerde@outlook.com] We take your privacy seriously and strive for transparency and compliance with applicable laws, including those governing biometric data.
