Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We collect from you the following data:

a. Information you provide us directly. When you use our Services, we collect the information that you provide us directly:

Photos. We may collect the photos, that you take with your camera while using our application and photos, that you upload to our application from your device. Please note, you won’t be able to upload content from your camera unless we can access your device’s camera.

Videos. We may collect the videos, that you take with your camera while using our application and videos, that you upload to our application from your device. Please note, you won’t be able to upload content from your camera unless we can access your device’s camera.

Facial features. We may collect the facial feature data separately from your photos only to provide you with the face-morphing functionality of DuoFace App. Please note, we collect facial feature data that is not biometric data.

b. Usage data. When you use our Services, we may collect information about your activity within our Services, for example, which pages you have viewed and for how long. We also may collect IP addresses, the source of the traffic, information regarding the device and operating system, information about your wireless and mobile network connections, unique device identifiers, IDFA, region, browser type, language, battery level, and time zone.

In the mobile application: We collect usage data with the help of Google Analytics and the Facebook App Event Tracking system. With the use of them, we collect such data as IP-Address, your device model, screen resolution and operation system, session durations, your location. Based on these data, we analyze your needs and interests, evaluate the effectiveness of our campaigns and improve our Website to make its content relevant to you and the Website itself available for smooth viewing with your device.

c. Cookies and similar technologies. Like most online services and mobile applications, we may use cookies — tiny pieces of code that remain in your device after you have visited any websites and online services. When you use that website or application the next time, these pieces enable their owners to provide you with information customized for your needs.

We use cookies for authentication purposes only. When you access the Services or content, DuoFace App uses session cookies, meaning that if you close the Services, cookies expire and no longer have any effect. You shall specifically agree to our use of cookies when you use our Services by clicking the respective button in the notification.

When you use the Services, we may also use technologies like pixels, web beacons, and local storage to collect information about how you use DuoFace App and provide features to you.

d. Web app connection, country and language. Our hosting and content-delivery providers receive your IP address, browser information and requested pages to deliver and secure the service, and may retain operational or security logs. We use the country code supplied by Amazon CloudFront to select the initial language and pricing: Armenian and AMD for Armenia, and English and USD for other countries or when no country is available. You can change the language manually; prices remain based on the country. We do not request GPS location.

Browser storage supports sign-in, sessions and web-app functionality. You can manage or clear stored data in your browser settings. Blocking or clearing browser storage may affect sign-in and other features.

e. Web accounts, subscriptions and support. We process the account details you provide, your selected plan and subscription status. For paid subscriptions, we use payment references, amount, currency and status to activate access and provide billing support. Support messages may include your email, order reference and issue details. Do not send payment credentials to support.

Billing-record details. For web purchases, transaction records include the order and bank transaction references, purchased plan, amount, currency, date and time, payment or refund status and renewal or cancellation confirmations. These are payment records, not the full card number or card security code.

2. How We Use Information

DuoFace does not use your videos, photos and facial features for any reason other than to provide you with the face-morphing functionality of DuoFace. In no way will DuoFace use your videos, photos and facial features for face recognition, as DuoFace does not introduce the face recognition technologies or other technical means for the processing of biometric data for the unique identification or authentication of a user.

We may use the information other than videos, photos or facial features to:

- provide, improve, test, and monitor the effectiveness of our Services;

- perform troubleshooting, diagnose or fix technology problems

- enhance the safety and security of the Services;

- monitor and analyze trends and usage;

- develop and test new features of the Services;

- understand your needs and provide services and advertisements that are relevant to you;

- use the information we’ve collected from cookies and similar technologies to enhance our Services and your experience with them.

Uploaded Content is collected for its display in the library for the user’s repeated use and convenience of the Services usage. Uploaded Content is stored on the device and cloud for a specific period of time and displayed to you exclusively during your use of the Services. By submitting this content for the morphing you expressly agree for its collection and storage as set forth herein. In no way will DuoFace use your Uploaded Content for face recognition, as DuoFace does not introduce the face recognition technologies or other technical means for processing of biometric data for the unique identification or authentication of a user.

If DuoFace decides to change the purposes of processing specified above, we will inform you on such changes prior to use your personal information within the newly set purposes and ask for your separate consent if required by the applicable laws.

For the web app, we also use necessary non-media information to select the initial language, show regional prices, manage accounts, activate subscriptions, administer renewal and cancellation, investigate billing issues, handle refunds and support requests, prevent fraud and meet legal obligations. These purposes do not extend the permitted use of photos, videos or facial features described above.

3. How We Share Information

In order to provide high-quality Services, DuoFace hires people, may enter agreements with independent contractors as well as cooperates with other services providers, companies, and organizations. For those reasons, some of your personal information may be passed to the persons mentioned. First of all, our employees may have access to your data. Then, we may transfer your data to our sub-contractors and affiliates.

DuoFace does not control third-party platforms, websites, or online services, and DuoFace is not responsible for their actions. These platforms, websites, and online services follow different rules regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your personal information. DuoFace encourages you to read the privacy policies of these platforms, websites, and online services to find out more about how your usage data may be used by these vendors.

International transfers must comply with applicable data-protection law. Where required, we use a valid transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards. You can contact us for information about the safeguards applicable to your data and how to obtain a copy.

You also have to be aware of the fact that DuoFace may disclose your personal information to enforce and comply with the law. In other words, DuoFace may disclose to officials the information necessary for the investigation or legal process on official request or the official bodies acting within their powers.

Web app providers. Amazon Web Services, including Amazon CloudFront, processes the connection data described in section 1 to deliver the service and provide the country code used for language and regional pricing. For card payments, Ameriabank CJSC (https://ameriabank.am/) processes card details on its secure payment page. DuoFace uses the necessary transaction and subscription records to provide the service and resolve billing issues.

Payment confidentiality. Payment and subscription records are used only to provide and administer the service, handle refunds and disputes, prevent fraud and meet legal obligations. We do not sell them or share them for advertising. We disclose them only to the payment provider and service providers that need them for these purposes, or when legally required. A content or usage-data licence in the Terms of Use does not authorise any other use of payment records.

4. How We Store Information

Data retention. Your data will be stored by DuoFace no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data are processed. That is why,

- your photos and videos are stored on the DuoFace server until you finish the editing session, but not longer than within 72 hours after the finishing of the editing session. For the rest of the time your photos and videos used in DuoFace application are stored locally on your mobile device and may be removed any time by either deleting these photos and videos from your mobile device’s file system directly or by deleting DuoFace application;

- your facial feature data is stored on the DuoFace server for a limited period of 30 calendar days after your last use of the DuoFace application;

- anonymous, aggregated or de-identified data will be stored as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes DuoFace has set out in this Privacy Policy.

Data security. DuoFace processes your data using computers and/or other IT-enabled tools. DuoFace takes technical and organizational measures to ensure the information is processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of information, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

Web app and billing records. Locally stored web-app media can be removed using the app’s controls or browser site-data settings; clearing local data does not itself delete server records. For direct web payments, transaction evidence is retained for at least three years as required by the acquiring terms, and longer only where applicable law requires it. This financial-record period does not extend the photo/video or facial-feature periods above. Account and support information is retained only as needed for the stated purpose and applicable legal obligations. We use HTTPS for the web app; no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
