This Privacy Policy outlines the privacy practices of Vireel App ("Vireel") in relation to the Vireel App mobile application (the "App").

At Vireel App, we are dedicated to safeguarding and honoring your privacy. We treat your privacy with the utmost seriousness and will only use your personal information to deliver the Services if we have obtained your consent for the collection and processing of such personal data in accordance with the terms set forth below.

This Privacy Policy clarifies when, where, how, and for what purposes we collect personal information about you, how we utilize that information, the circumstances under which we may disclose it to third parties, your rights regarding your personal information, and the measures we implement to keep it secure.

By registering for, downloading, or using our Services, you acknowledge and accept this Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of our Terms of Use. We reserve the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy from time to time.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following data from you:

a. Information You Provide Directly

When you use our Services, we collect information that you actively provide to us:

Photos: We may collect photos you take with your device?s camera while using the App, as well as photos you upload to the App from your device. Please note that you will not be able to upload camera-captured content if we do not have access to your device?s camera.

Videos: We may collect videos you record with your device?s camera while using the App, as well as videos you upload to the App from your device. Please note that you will not be able to upload camera-captured content if we do not have access to your device?s camera.

Facial feature data: We may separately collect facial feature data from your photos solely to provide you with the face-swapping functionality of Vireel App. Please note that the facial feature data we collect does not constitute biometric data.

b. Usage Data

When you use our Services, we may collect information related to your activities within the Services, such as the pages you have viewed and the duration of your visits. We may also collect the following information: IP addresses, traffic sources, device and operating system details, wireless and mobile network connection information, unique device identifiers, IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers), region, browser type, language, battery level, and time zone.

c. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Like most online services and mobile applications, we may use cookies ? small pieces of code stored on your device after you visit websites or online services. When you use the relevant website or application again, these code snippets enable their owners to provide you with personalized information tailored to your needs.

We use cookies solely for authentication purposes. When you access the Services or related content, Vireel App uses session cookies ? such cookies will expire and cease to function once you close the Services. By clicking the corresponding button in the notification when using our Services, you explicitly consent to our use of cookies.

When you use the Services, we may also use technologies such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage to collect information about how you use Vireel App and to provide you with relevant features.

2. How We Use Information

Vireel uses your videos, photos, and facial feature data solely to provide you with the face-swapping functionality of the App ? no other uses are permitted. Vireel will never use your videos, photos, or facial feature data for facial recognition purposes. This is because Vireel does not incorporate facial recognition technologies or any other technical means for processing biometric data to uniquely identify or authenticate users.

Uploaded Content (including your videos and photos) is collected to be displayed in a library, enabling you to reuse it conveniently and enhancing your experience of using the Services. Uploaded Content is temporarily stored only for the duration necessary to provide the requested service. Once processing is completed, such content is deleted from our servers unless you choose to save it locally on your device, and will only be made available to you during your use of the Services. By submitting this content for face-swapping, you explicitly consent to its collection and storage as outlined in this Privacy Policy. Vireel will never use your Uploaded Content for facial recognition purposes, as we do not employ facial recognition technologies or other technical methods for processing biometric data to uniquely identify or authenticate users.

If Vireel decides to modify the aforementioned purposes for processing your personal information, we will notify you of such changes prior to using your personal information for the new purposes. If required by applicable laws, we will also obtain your separate consent for such changes.

3. How We Share Information

We never sell your personal information to third parties. Such information may only be shared in circumstances where it is necessary to fulfill a legitimate business function.

We do not rent, sell, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing, advertising, or independent purposes. We will never use your personal data for training and/or developing independent AI systems or products.

We will not share, transfer, or disclose your personal information in any manner that violates this Privacy Policy or applicable laws. In the event of a potential merger, division, acquisition, asset sale, bankruptcy liquidation, or similar transaction that may involve the transfer of your information, we will require the successor or transferee to protect your personal information in accordance with laws, regulations, and standards no less stringent than those outlined in this Policy.

3.1 AI Processing and Third-Party Service Providers

To provide AI-powered image and video generation features, we may securely transmit user-uploaded photos, videos, or related content to third-party AI service providers, including Seedream and Wan 2.6, solely for the purpose of processing user-requested content. All data transmission is encrypted in transit using industry-standard encryption protocols.

Such transmission is strictly limited to fulfilling user-initiated requests. We do not sell user data.

We do not use user-uploaded content for AI model training, development of independent AI systems, marketing, advertising, or any unrelated purposes.

Unless necessary to complete the requested service, user-uploaded content is not retained after processing.

Our third-party AI service providers are contractually obligated to implement data protection measures that meet or exceed the standards described in this Privacy Policy. They are not permitted to use the data for any independent purposes.

3.2 Cloud Infrastructure and Data Transmission

To ensure reliable and secure service operation, user-uploaded content may be transmitted through our servers and processed using trusted cloud infrastructure providers (such as AWS, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, or equivalent providers).

These cloud service providers act solely as data processors providing hosting and infrastructure services. They are not permitted to access, retain, use, or process user data for any independent purposes, including AI model training, analytics, or marketing.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect user data during transmission and storage.

3.3 International Data Transfers

Depending on your location, your data may be processed in jurisdictions outside of your country of residence. We implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

4. How We Store Information

Vireel will store your data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data is processed. Specific storage practices are as follows:

Photos and videos: Your photos and videos are stored on Vireel?s servers solely during your editing session. Once you complete the editing process, these data will be immediately deleted from our servers. At all other times, the photos and videos used within the Vireel App are stored locally on your mobile device. You may remove this local data at any time by either deleting the photos and videos directly from your device?s file system or uninstalling the Vireel App.

Facial feature data: This data is immediately deleted from your device after use to safeguard your privacy.

Anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data: Such data will be stored for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Data Security

Vireel processes your data using computers and/or other IT-enabled tools. We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information against unauthorized or unlawful processing, as well as accidental loss, destruction, or damage. For instance, Vireel engages verified contractors who may access data (as specified in Section 2 of this Privacy Policy) only after signing relevant data processing agreements. We also provide guidance and training to our personnel to ensure they process your data securely in compliance with our internal data protection policies.

5. Your Rights Regarding Information

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data processed by Vireel App, in compliance with applicable data protection laws:

Right of Access and Data Portability

You have the right to access the personal data we process about you.

You also have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

You can request the erasure of your personal data if the processing is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or if there are no legal grounds to continue processing.

Right to Restrict Processing

In circumstances prescribed by law, you may request the restriction of your personal data processing. Examples include contesting the accuracy of the data being processed, or where Vireel no longer requires the data for its original purpose but you need it retained for specific reasons (e.g., to pursue a legal claim). In such cases, processing will be restricted rather than erased.

Right to Withdraw Consent

You may withdraw your consent for the collection and processing of your personal data at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to the withdrawal. Upon receiving your withdrawal request, Vireel will process it promptly and cease further processing of your personal data, unless required by law to continue.

Right to Object to Processing

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain scenarios as specified by applicable laws:

When processing is related to the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or the exercise of official authority vested in Vireel;

When we process your data to pursue our legitimate interests or those of a third party, and you believe your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms override such legitimate interests.

If you submit an objection to processing, we will cease processing your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for continuing the processing that override your rights.

Special Note on Direct Marketing

If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the unconditional right to object to such processing at any time, without needing to provide a justification.
