database Data Collection
Photos You Provide
Uploaded selfies stored on your device and secure cloud storage, used solely for AI image generation.
When uploading selfies, photos remain on your device and secure cloud servers. They are sent to our AI service for processing to generate styled images per your requests.
Users can delete photos anytime via Settings, with temporary files auto-deleted after 24 hours.
Anonymous Account
No name, email, or personal info collected. A unique anonymous ID links your data.
The app uses anonymous authentication without collecting identification data. A unique identifier links photos, images, and credits without personal identification.
Face Detection
The App uses on-device face detection to verify that your uploaded photos contain a face.
This processing happens entirely on your device — no facial recognition data is sent to our servers or any third party.
shopping_bag Purchases & Payments
If you make in-app purchases (credits or subscriptions), transaction records are managed by Apple and our payment processor.
We do not have access to your payment details such as credit card numbers. We only receive confirmation of purchase status and your credit balance.
hub Third-Party Services
Google Cloud Services
Account management, cloud storage, database, push notifications, analytics, crash reporting, and performance monitoring.
AI Processing Service
Your photos are sent to our third-party AI image-processing service to generate your styled images. This service runs on servers located in the United States, so generating an image involves transferring your photo internationally, including outside the EU/EEA and Türkiye. Your photo is used only to produce the image you request; it is not shared publicly or sold.
Payment Processor
In-app purchase and subscription management.
Apple
App Store purchases and device-level services.
Amplitude (Product Analytics)
In the iOS app, we use Amplitude to understand anonymous product usage and improve features. Only event-level data tied to an anonymous device ID is sent — no personal information, no advertising identifiers (IDFA), and no cross-app tracking.
Google AdMob (Rewarded Ads)
The iOS app offers an optional rewarded-video flow via Google AdMob so users can earn free generation credits by watching short ads (capped at 3 per day, enforced server-side). If you grant iOS App Tracking Transparency permission, AdMob may use your Advertising Identifier (IDFA) to personalize ads; if you decline, only non-personalized contextual ads are shown. Coarse location may be derived from your IP for ad context. You may decline to watch ads at any time — credit packs and a subscription remain available.
Website Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
On expecto.web.app, we use Google Analytics 4 with Consent Mode v2 to measure traffic and referrers (e.g. search engines, ad campaigns). No analytics cookies are set until you accept the cookie banner. If you decline, only cookieless pings are sent for aggregate traffic modeling. IP addresses are anonymized. This applies to the website only — the iOS app does not use GA4.
lock Security & Storage
Photos and generated images are stored on:
Your Device
In the App's private storage
Cloud Storage
Encrypted at rest and in transit
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
Technical & Crash Data
We collect anonymous technical data to improve app stability and performance:
- Crash reports (device model, OS version, crash logs)
- Performance metrics (app launch time, network latency)
This data is collected through crash reporting and performance monitoring tools. It does not contain any personal information or photos.

Data Retention & Deletion

Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the App.
Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
