1. Information We Collect

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

A. Personal Data

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Data"), including, but not limited to:

• Email address (for account registration, premium subscription management, and support)

• Name / Nickname

• Payment information and transaction history (processed securely via third-party payment processors)

B. Media Files (Photos and Videos)

• Local Processing: To provide our core features (creating stickers, cropping, trimming videos, applying text, and manual cutout tools), the Service requires access to your device's camera and photo library.

• On-Device vs. Cloud AI: Most editing and image processing are performed directly on your device. For certain Premium AI features (such as AI background removal, precise hair cutout, and video background removal), media files may be temporarily uploaded to our secure cloud servers for processing. These files are processed immediately and are not stored on our servers after the operation is complete.

• Application usage logs, access times, and feature utilization

• Crash reports and performance data (via Firebase Crashlytics)

D. Tracking & Cookies Data

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like advertising IDs) to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information to optimize performance and deliver relevant advertisements.
