Privacy Policy
Selfie Mosaic (the "App") values user privacy and complies with applicable laws, including the Personal Information Protection Act of Korea. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles user information.
1. Personal Information Collected and Purpose of Processing
The App does not provide sign-up, login, account, or app-operator-server data-collection features. Therefore, the App does not collect or use any personal information such as name, contact information, location, or identifiers.
2. Device Permissions
The App uses the following device permissions to provide its features. Camera frames and related processing data are used on the device and are not uploaded to servers operated by the App.
- Camera (required) - Used for real-time video capture and mosaic processing. If denied, the App's core feature cannot be used.
- Microphone (optional) - Used to record sound when recording video. If denied, videos are captured without sound.
- Photos (optional) - Used to save captured photos and videos to the device's photo library. If denied, saving functionality may be limited.
Permissions can be changed at any time in iOS Settings > Selfie Mosaic.
3. Provision of Personal Information to Third Parties
The App does not collect personal information and therefore does not provide personal information to third parties.
4. Outsourcing of Personal Information Processing
The App does not outsource personal information processing.
5. International Transfer of Personal Information
The App does not transfer personal information overseas.
6. Retention Period and Destruction of Personal Information
The App does not collect or retain personal information, so it has no separate retention period or destruction procedure. Photos and videos captured by the User are stored in the User's device photo library, and the App does not collect or manage them. The User is solely responsible for storing and deleting captured media.
7. Rights of Data Subjects and How to Exercise Them
Because the App does not collect personal information, there is no personal information subject to access, correction, deletion, or suspension of processing. Device permissions can be changed directly by the User in iOS Settings.
8. Children's Personal Information
The App does not collect personal information from any user, including children under 14.
9. Measures to Ensure Personal Information Security
The App performs face detection and mosaic processing on-device. Camera frames and face-area information are used only temporarily in device memory while needed for processing, and the App does not upload them to an app-operator server. If the User opens an external link, such as this Privacy Policy, that webpage may use an internet connection.
10. Advertising and Analytics Tools
The App does not use any third-party tools that transmit user information externally, including advertising networks, analytics, or crash reporting tools.
11. Processing of Face Detection Data
The App performs face detection and person-area segmentation through the Apple Vision framework to automatically cover pedestrians' faces during photo or video capture. The data handled in this process and the processing method are as follows.
- Data processed - Face-location bounding boxes in camera frames and, when available, person-area masks are processed in device memory to identify where to apply mosaics. During a live camera session, facial landmarks and eye-center positions may also be processed temporarily to position and orient mosaics or character overlays. This information is not retained as separate account or profile data. In the current public release, the FeaturePrint-based person re-identification feature is disabled, so the App does not generate or use FeaturePrints.
- Purpose of use - Used only to apply real-time mosaic processing to face areas of people other than the User.
- Storage and retention - Camera frames and face-area information exist temporarily in memory while the current frame is processed. The App does not save them as a separate database or account record. Captured results are saved to the User's photo library when the User chooses to save them.
- Third-party provision and sharing - The App does not send face-area information or other processing data to an app-operator server, or provide it to third parties for separate use.
- Processing location - Core face detection and mosaic processing happens inside the User's iPhone and does not use cloud-based facial recognition. Network use for an external link is governed by the policy of that webpage.
