Data Collection for Functional Purposes

We request and process specific personal information when utilizing the app. This information is essential to ensure the app's optimal functionality and the delivery of requested Services. Without such information, the complete functionality of the App and the provision of desired Services may be unattainable. The subsequent categories of data may be subject to processing:

• Activity Information. This encompasses data directly associated with your utilization of the app. Upon configuring the relevant settings on your device, we may gain technical access to your camera or Photos to scrutinize the pictures you capture or upload through the app. It should be noted that we refrain from gathering, storing, or utilizing the files present in your Photos unless you actively upload such files to the app.
• Information Linked to Your app Account. If you choose to register within the app by connecting your account to your Apple ID, Google, or Facebook account, certain categories of data may undergo processing. These include details regarding your chosen method of registration within the app (such as signing in with Apple/Google/Facebook) and the email address linked to your account.
• User-Uploaded Content. Content that users upload to the app, whether for basic or extended functions, including the identification feature, is subject to our Terms of Use in addition to the present Privacy Policy. Please be aware that uploading or submitting any User Content containing personal data, or protected personal data of other individuals (such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, etc.), is strictly prohibited.
