Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 08, 2024

This Privacy Policy describes how Anloft ("Anloft", "We", "Us", or "Our") protects your privacy when you use PicsCraft - AI Photo (the "PicsCraft Service"), which includes the website located at www.anloftapps.com (the "Site") and all PicsCraft mobile applications downloaded (each, the "App").

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE PICSCRAFT SERVICE, BY DOWNLOADING ANY PICSCRAFT APPS, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. THIS PRIVACY POLICY IS PART OF AND INCORPORATED INTO ANLOFT'S TERMS OF USE ("Terms of Use"). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH BELOW, YOU MAY NOT USE THE PICSCRAFT SERVICE OR RELATED APPS.

You agree to denote your acceptance of these terms when so required, and you understand and agree that acceptance of these Terms is required at the time of downloading any related Apps, and your continued acceptance is required when making use of any PicsCraft Services.

This Privacy Policy applies to information (including personal information) collected through the PicsCraft Service, and any Apps that we now offer, or may offer in the future. This privacy policy shall apply to your use of any Apps made available by Anloft. Since many of our Apps allow the editing of your photographs, there are portions of this Privacy Policy that discuss the use of such materials.

Be sure to review this Privacy Policy thoroughly. Please be aware of these key points, to the extent any PicsCraft application you may download and/or use allows the editing of your photographs:

· We use a third-party cloud provider – Amazon Web Services – to process and edit photographs. · Photographs are temporarily cached on the cloud servers during the editing process and encrypted using a key stored locally on your mobile device. · Photographs remain in the cloud for a limited period of 24 hours after you have last edited the photograph so that you can return to the image and make additional changes if you so choose. Thereafter, photographs and face data are deleted and not retained. · We do not use the photographs you provide when you use the Apps for any reason other than to provide you with the portrait editing functionality of the Apps.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We do not use the photographs you provide when you use the Apps for any reason other than to provide you with the editing functionality of the Apps. Photographs and face data are not retained after a 24-hour period and are deleted thereafter. We may use information other than photographs for the following purposes:

• To operate and improve the Apps:
  • Enable you to use the App’s features;
  • Establish and maintain your account, if you choose to log in to the Apps using your social media account;
  • Communicate with you about the Apps, including by sending you announcements, updates, and security alerts, which we may send through a push notification, and responding to your requests, questions, and feedback;
  • Provide technical support and maintenance for the App; and
  • Perform statistical analysis about the use of the Apps (including through the use of Google Analytics).
• To send you marketing and promotional communications: We may send you marketing communications as permitted by law. You will have the ability to opt out of our marketing and promotional communications as described in the "Opt out of marketing" section below.
• To display advertisements to you: If you use the free version of the Apps, we work with advertising partners to display advertisements within the Apps. These advertisements are delivered by our advertising partners and may be targeted based on your use of the Apps or your activity elsewhere online. To learn more about your choices in connection with advertisements, please see the section below titled "Targeted online advertising."
• For compliance, fraud prevention, and safety: We may use your personal information and disclose it to law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties as we believe necessary or appropriate to: (a) protect our, your or others’ rights, privacy, safety, or property (including by making and defending legal claims); (b) enforce the terms and conditions that govern the Service; and (c) protect, investigate, and deter against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical, or illegal activity.
• With your consent: In some cases, we may specifically ask for your consent to collect, use, or share your personal information, such as when required by law.
• To create anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data: We may create anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data from your personal information and other individuals whose personal information we collect. We make personal information into anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes.

How We Share Your Personal Information

We do not disclose user photographs or videos to third parties (with the exception of uploading an encrypted image to our cloud providers Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services to provide the photo editing features of the Apps). We may share your non-photograph and non-video information in the following circumstances:

• Affiliates: We may share App usage information with our subsidiaries and affiliates, for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
• Service providers: We may share your personal information with service providers that perform services on our behalf or help us operate the Apps (such as customer support, hosting, analytics, email delivery, marketing, and database management services). These third parties may use your personal information only as directed or authorized by us and in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy, and are prohibited from using or disclosing your information for any other purpose.
• Advertising partners: When we use third-party cookies and other tracking tools, our advertising partners may collect information from your device to help us analyze use of the Site and the Apps, display advertisements on the Apps, and advertise the Site and Apps (and related content) elsewhere online.
• Third-party platforms and social media networks: If you have enabled features or functionality that connect the Apps to a third-party platform or social media network (such as by logging into the Apps using your account with the third party, providing your API key or similar access token for the Apps to a third party, or otherwise linking your account with the Apps to a third party’s services), we may disclose the personal information that you authorized us to share (such as when you elect to upload a photograph or video to your social media account). We do not control the third-party platforms’ use of your personal information, which is governed by that third party’s privacy policy and terms and conditions.
• Professional advisors: We may disclose your personal information to professional advisors, such as lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers, where necessary in the course of the professional services that they render to us.
• For compliance, fraud prevention, and safety: We may share your personal information for the compliance, fraud prevention, and safety purposes described above.
• Business transfers: We may sell, transfer, or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your personal information, in connection with a business transaction (or potential business transaction) such as a corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution.

Your Choices

In this section, we describe the rights and choices available to all users. Users who are located within Europe can find additional information about their rights below.

Opt-out of marketing communications and other push notifications. You may opt out of marketing-related communications and other notifications we may send you via push notification by changing the settings on your mobile device.

Device permissions. You may revoke any permissions you previously granted to us, such as permission to access your camera, camera roll, or microphone through the settings on your mobile device.

Cookies & Browser Web Storage. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, the Site may not work properly. Similarly, your browser settings may allow you to clear your browser web storage.

Choosing not to share your personal information. Where we are required by law to collect your personal information, or where we need your personal information in order to provide the Apps to you, if you do not provide this information when requested (or you later ask to delete it), we may not be able to provide you with our services. We will tell you what information you must provide to use the Apps by designating it as required at the time of collection or through other appropriate means.

Third-party platforms or social media networks. If you choose to connect to the Apps via a third-party platform or social media network, such as by using Facebook login, you may have the ability to limit the information that we may obtain from the third-party at the time you login to the Apps using the third-party’s authentication service or otherwise connect your account. Subsequently, you may be able to control your settings through the third-party’s platform or service. For example, you may access and change your settings through the Facebook settings page for Apps and Websites. If you withdraw our ability to access certain information from a third-party platform or social media network, that choice will not apply to information that we have already received from that third party.

Other Sites, Mobile Applications, and Services The Apps may contain links to other websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third parties. These links are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. In addition, our content may be included on web pages or in mobile applications or online services that are not associated with us. We do not control third-party websites, mobile applications, or online services, and we are not responsible for their actions. Other websites, mobile applications, and online services follow different rules regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites, mobile applications, and online services you use.

Security Practices We use commercially reasonable security practices to help keep the information collected through the Apps secure and take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your account (if you have an account with us). However, Anloft cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to our service or guarantee that information on the Apps may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

Please do your part to help us. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login information and device identifiers, and for controlling access to communications between you and our service, at all times. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes the social media services you connect to our service make to their services. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any other organization.

Retention We configure Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services to delete photographs, and the information associated with the photographs, within 24 hours after the photograph was last edited using the Apps. This allows you to revisit the image for additional modifications during that time. Thereafter, photographs and face data are deleted and not retained.

With respect to non-photograph information that we may collect, we will retain such information in a personally identifiable format only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we have set out in this Privacy Policy.

Cross-Border Data Transfers We store the information we collect in connection with the Apps on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform. For Amazon Web Services, we specify the US as the data storage location, and for Google Cloud Platform, we specify data storage at an available location closest to you when you use the Apps. Your personal information may also be accessed by our service providers in other locations outside of your state, province, or country, including our technical support team based in Turkey.

For users within the European Union and Switzerland, we rely on the Privacy Shield for transfers of data from the EU and Switzerland to our services, including those provided by our company and third-party service providers.

Children

The App is not directed at children under the age of 13, and our Terms of Use do not allow children under 13 years of age to use the Apps. If we learn that we have collected personal information of a child under the age of 13, we will delete it. We encourage parents with concerns to contact us.
