Your photos stay on your device.

1. Scope and contact

This Privacy Policy applies to the Face Blur mobile application for Android and iOS, provided by Huayuqixin Technology Co., Ltd.. These pages are hosted on pixlery.com only as a stable public URL for the app and store listings.

For privacy questions or requests, contact [email protected].

2. Photos and on-device processing

Face Blur accesses only the photo you choose through the operating system photo picker or crop interface. The selected photo is processed on your device for import validation, cropping, face detection, optional person segmentation, editing, preview, encoding, saving, and sharing.

Face Blur does not upload your selected photo, cropped working copy, detected face regions, person mask, editing coordinates, sticker placement, preview, or exported photo to our servers.

3. Temporary files and retention

The app creates opaque, app-private cache files so it can process a selected photo, recover safely from an interrupted step, and let the result page save or share the same verified output. These files are not public media and their local paths are not exposed in the product interface.

A new import clears the prior import cache. Cancelled or failed operations remove temporary files when the workflow can identify them. Generated result files older than 24 hours are purged during a later app startup. The operating system may clear cache files earlier, and uninstalling the app removes its private app data. Copies you save to the photo library or send through another app are controlled by you and those services.

4. Photo metadata

Face Blur removes GPS and other location metadata from exported copies. If you enable “Remove other supported metadata,” the app also removes supported EXIF and PNG text fields. If that option is off, the app preserves only metadata classes its current encoder safely supports; unsupported metadata may still be dropped during re-encoding.

Removing metadata does not remove visible information inside the pixels. Review the finished image before saving or sharing it.

5. Permissions and system services

The operating system photo picker provides access to the photo you select. On Android 9 and earlier, saving an exported copy may require legacy storage permission; newer Android versions use scoped MediaStore. Sharing opens the operating system share sheet, and opening a policy opens your external browser.

Face Blur does not request location, contacts, microphone, advertising identifier, or account permissions for its current features.

6. On-device libraries and third parties

Face detection uses the bundled Google ML Kit face detector. Optional background blur uses a bundled on-device selfie segmentation model. Cropping and system sharing use platform components and open-source Flutter libraries. These integrations process the selected media locally for the requested feature and are not configured as cloud photo-processing services.

When you choose Save or Share, the operating system and the destination app or service handle the exported copy under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control a destination you select.

7. Analytics, logs, and network use

The current Face Blur app does not include advertising, analytics, crash-reporting, account, or cloud-storage SDKs, and it does not send product events to us. A privacy-safe event contract exists in the app code but uses a no-operation implementation unless a future release separately reviews and discloses a remote analytics service.

Operational errors shown in the app use stable reference codes. The app is designed not to place photos, thumbnails, filenames, local paths, face coordinates, OCR text, or original metadata values in logs or analytics.

8. Settings stored on your device

Face Blur stores your appearance, language, and metadata-removal preferences in local operating-system preference storage. These settings are not uploaded. You can reset them by changing the settings, clearing app data where supported, or uninstalling the app.

9. Children

Face Blur is a general privacy photo tool and is not directed to children. The current app does not create accounts or knowingly collect personal information from children. A parent or guardian should supervise a child’s use and ensure they have permission to process photos of other people.

10. Your choices and rights

Because the current app does not receive your photos or create an account, we normally have no server-side Face Blur photo data to access, correct, export, or delete. You control selected photos, local app data, saved copies, and sharing destinations on your device.

If you believe we have received personal information through a support email or another direct interaction, contact [email protected]. Applicable privacy rights depend on your location and the nature of that interaction.

11. Policy changes

We may update this policy when Face Blur features, dependencies, data practices, or legal obligations change. We will update the date above and, when appropriate, provide notice in the app or store listing. Material new data collection will not be described as if it had always applied.
