At Libkis ("the App"), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of any information you share while using our AI-powered photo enhancement application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use Libkis. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. Please read this document carefully to understand our approach to privacy.
1. No Account, No Personal Information Collection
One of Libkis's core principles is that no account creation is required to use the App. We do not collect, ask for, or store any personal identification information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, date of birth, or location. You can fully access and use all features of the App—including smart scene detection, one-click enhancement, filter presets, professional adjustments, and real-time previews—without providing any personal details. This means we never have access to your private information, and you can enjoy a completely anonymous photo editing experience.
2. Information We Collect
While we do not collect personal information, we may collect the following types of non-personal, technical, or usage-related information to improve the App's functionality, performance, and user experience:
2.1 Usage Data: This includes non-identifiable information about how you interact with the App, such as:
- Features used (e.g., which filter presets you frequently apply, how often you use denoising or sharpening tools);
- Number of images processed or enhanced per session;
- Device type (e.g., smartphone, tablet), operating system (e.g., iOS, Android), and App version;
- Crash reports or technical errors (to identify and fix issues);
- General usage patterns (e.g., time spent using the App, frequency of use).
This data is collected in aggregate form and cannot be linked to any individual user. It helps us understand how users engage with the App and make improvements to features, performance, and usability.
2.2 User Content (Images): When you use Libkis to enhance photos, you will upload images from your device to the App. We only process these images locally on your device or temporarily on our secure servers (if necessary for AI enhancement) to provide the requested editing features. We do not store your images permanently unless you choose to save the edited version to your device. Any temporary storage of images is solely for the purpose of processing and enhancing them, and these images are automatically deleted once the editing process is complete or after a short retention period (no longer than 24 hours). We never access, view, or use your images for any purpose other than providing the App's functionality.
2.3 Technical Data: To ensure the App runs smoothly, we may collect technical information such as:
- Device specifications (e.g., processor, RAM, storage capacity);
- Network connection type (e.g., Wi-Fi, cellular);
- App performance metrics (e.g., loading time, processing speed).
This data is used to optimize the App for different devices and networks, and to resolve technical issues.
3. How We Use the Information We Collect
We use the collected information exclusively for the following purposes:
3.1 Improve the App: Usage data and technical data help us identify areas for improvement, such as optimizing AI enhancement algorithms, adding new features that users need, fixing bugs, and enhancing overall performance.
3.2 Provide and Maintain the App: We use technical data to ensure the App is compatible with different devices and operating systems, and to provide seamless functionality for all features (e.g., real-time previews, image processing).
3.3 Process User Content: We use your uploaded images solely to perform the requested enhancements (e.g., applying filters, denoising, sharpening) and to generate the edited version for you to save. We never use your images for advertising, marketing, or any other purposes without your explicit permission.
3.4 Ensure Security: We may use technical data to monitor for security threats, detect unauthorized access, and protect the App and its users from potential harm.
4. How We Protect Your Information
We take the security of your information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the data we collect:
4.1 Local Processing: Whenever possible, image processing is done locally on your device, meaning your images never leave your device unless absolutely necessary for AI enhancement features that require server-side processing.
4.2 Secure Servers: If server-side processing is required, we use secure, encrypted servers to temporarily store and process your images. All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard protocols (e.g., SSL/TLS).
4.3 Limited Access: Only authorized personnel (who are required to adhere to strict confidentiality obligations) have access to the data we collect, and only for the purposes outlined in this Policy.
4.4 Data Retention: We retain non-personal usage and technical data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Once the data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. User images are retained only temporarily (as described in Section 2.2) and are automatically deleted after processing.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any of your information (including usage data, technical data, or images) with third parties for marketing, advertising, or any other commercial purposes. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
5.1 Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party service providers to assist with App development, hosting, or technical support. These service providers have access to the information only to perform their designated tasks and are contractually obligated to protect the data and use it solely for the purposes we specify.
5.2 Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, or in response to valid legal requests (e.g., subpoenas, court orders) from government authorities. We will only disclose information to the extent necessary to comply with such requests.
5.3 Protection of Rights: We may share information to protect the rights, property, or safety of Libkis, its users, or third parties. This includes investigating and addressing potential violations of this Policy or the User Agreement, or responding to claims that any content violates the rights of others.
6. Your Control Over Your Information
Since we do not collect personal information, you do not need to worry about managing or deleting personal data. For User Content (images), you have full control:
6.1 You can choose which images to upload and process using the App.
6.2 After editing, you can save the enhanced image to your device or discard it.
6.3 Any images temporarily stored on our servers are automatically deleted after processing, so you do not need to take additional steps to remove them.
If you have any questions about the data we collect or how it is used, you can contact us at bikelibkis417@outlook.com.
7. Children's Privacy
Libkis is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has used the App and provided any information (though the App does not require or collect personal information), we will take steps to delete such information immediately. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used the App, please contact us at the email address above.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted within the App or on our official communication channels, and the "last updated" date will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy. Your continued use of the App after any changes to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
