Privacy Policy

 

This privacy policy applies to Poocus application (hereby referred to as the "Application") for mobile devices that was created by Sinar İnisiyatif (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as a free service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".

 

Application Functionality

 

Poocus is an AI based image generation and editing application. The images the user generates are based on a textual prompt the user enters (Text To Image functionality); an initial image user chooses to upload using the photo gallery of the device on which the Application works on, accompanied with a textual prompt (Sketch To Image or Image To Image functionality); or a “selfie” which users chooses to upload using the photo gallery of the device on which the Application works on, accompanied with a pre-defined image template, to generate an new image where the “face” on the pre-defined template image is swapped with the face part of the chosen selfie image (Filters functionality).

 

 

Collection and Use of the Face Data

 

The Application does NOT collect the “face data”. The user chooses to upload a “selfie” from the photo gallery. The selfie is saved as a selfie image and the face data is NOT extracted or saved as “face data”. During the use of Filter functionality of the application, the face part of the chosen selfie image is extracted using AI and is applied on to the generated image (Filter) during the execution of the new image generation. However, extracted face part of the image is not saved anywhere.

 

 

Retention and the Use of User Uploaded and Generated Images

 

None of the images, both user uploaded and generated by the application, are not shared with any third party in any way.

 

The images (both user uploaded and generated by the application) are retained on Application Servers unless the user chooses to delete them. The images user choose to delete are purged permanently.
