Privacy Policy
The short version: we do not keep your photos, we do not know who you are, and we do not sell or share data for advertising.
Photos you submit
When you ask the app to find a celebrity double, the photo you chose is sent over an encrypted connection to our server. Software running on our own server measures the face in the photo and compares those measurements with ones made from public photos of well known people. This takes a moment, and then both the photo and the measurements are discarded. The photo is not sent to any other company. We do not write the photo to disk, keep a copy, or use it for anything else.
We do not store or share a face template or any other biometric identifier from your photo, and we do not use photos to train anything.
The app asks for your agreement to this before the first photo is sent. Please only submit photos of other people if they are happy for you to do so.
Your history
The list of past results, including a copy of each photo, is stored only on your device. It is never uploaded. You can delete single entries or the whole history in the app, and it is removed if you delete the app.
What our server stores
- An anonymous install identifier. A random ID created the first time the app runs, kept in your device keychain (and carried to your other devices if you use iCloud Keychain). It is not linked to your name, email, Apple ID, or advertising identifier.
- Your credit balance and a record of each change to it.
- Scan outcomes. For each scan: the time, whether a match was found, and the name and score of the top match. Never the photo.
- Purchase records. When you buy credits, Apple gives us a signed receipt containing a transaction ID, the product, the price, and the App Store country. We never see your payment details.
- IP addresses. The address used when the app first registers is stored, and web server logs record addresses for a short period, to prevent abuse.
What we do not do
No advertising, no tracking across apps or websites, no analytics SDKs, no selling or renting of data, and no accounts or sign in.
Who processes data for us
Apple (purchases). Photos are processed only on our own server.
Deleting your data
In the app, open Settings and choose Delete My Data. This removes your install identifier, balance, and scan outcomes from our server and clears the history on your device. Any unused credits are lost. We keep the transaction IDs of past purchases, without any link to you, so a receipt cannot be used twice. You can also write to support@niangua.co.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes we will update this page and the date above.
