Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 29, 2026
1. Who We Are
RawBeauty ("RawBeauty," "we," "us," or "our") is a portrait photo editing app provided by [developer / company legal name], [address]. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the RawBeauty iOS app and related services (the "Services"), how we use and share it, and the choices you have.
2. Key Points
- Most editing features run on your device. Photos leave your device only when you choose a cloud-based feature.
- Photos uploaded for cloud processing are used only to perform the edit you requested and are automatically deleted from our servers within [3] days.
- We do not use your photos or faces for facial recognition, identity verification, or biometric identification, and we do not use them to train AI models or sell them to anyone.
- The app shows optional rewarded ads from Google AdMob. Where required, we ask for your consent before personalized ads, and on iOS we ask for permission before any tracking.
- We do not require an account and do not ask for your name, email address, or phone number to use the Services.
3. Scope
This Policy applies to the RawBeauty app and the servers that support it. It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or ads that you may access through the app. Those are governed by their own privacy policies.
4. Information We Collect
4.1 Photos You Choose to Process in the Cloud
When you use a cloud-based feature (for example AI Retouch, relighting, bokeh, or AI filters), the photo you selected is uploaded over an encrypted connection to cloud storage operated by our service provider and processed on our servers. The processed result is then returned to your device.
Uploaded photos may contain personal information, such as a person's face or appearance. We process these images only to provide the editing feature you requested.
You can choose not to use cloud-based features. On-device features remain available, but cloud-based features cannot work without uploading the selected photo.
4.2 On-Device Processing
The following happen entirely on your device and are not sent to us:
- Photo library access: used to show your photos in the app so you can pick one to edit. If you grant limited access, we can see only the photos you selected.
- Camera and microphone: used for AI Camera to take photos and record videos. The microphone is used only to record sound in video mode.
- Face detection and on-device editing: used to locate faces and facial features in a photo so that features such as face reshaping, retouching, tone adjustment, and filters can be applied (see Section 5).
Photos and videos you save are stored in your device's photo library, which you control.
4.3 Advertising Information
RawBeauty offers optional rewarded ads that let you earn coins. These ads are provided by Google AdMob. When ads are requested or shown, Google may collect:
- your device's advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking under Apple's App Tracking Transparency;
- IP address and approximate location derived from it;
- device and app information (such as device model, operating system version, and app version);
- ad interaction data (such as whether an ad was shown, watched, or tapped).
See Section 7 for your advertising choices, and Google's policy at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
4.4 Analytics and Crash Information
We use Umeng (provided by Umeng+, an Alibaba Group company) to understand app usage and stability. Umeng may collect device information (such as device model, operating system, and device identifiers), app usage events, and crash and performance logs. We use this information only to fix bugs and improve the app, not to identify you personally.
4.5 Purchases
Subscriptions and coin purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment card details. We receive only the information needed to confirm and restore your purchase, such as the product purchased and transaction status.
4.6 Technical Logs
When the app communicates with our servers, our systems automatically record technical information, such as IP address, request time, and the type and status of the processing task. We use these logs only to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Services.
4.7 Information Stored on Your Device
To remember your settings and prevent abuse of free trials and coin rewards, the app stores some information locally on your device, including in the device keychain. This includes editing preferences, coin balance, trial usage, and a list of photos you recently edited with RawBeauty. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us.
5. Facial Information
Portrait editing requires finding faces and facial features, such as the outline of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth, so that edits are applied in the right place. We want to be clear about how this works:
- Facial feature detection used for on-device features runs entirely on your device and is not uploaded.
- For cloud-based features, our servers analyze the uploaded photo temporarily to locate the face and apply the requested edit.
- This analysis is used only to perform the edit you requested. We do not use it to identify who a person is, verify identity, or create or store facial templates or biometric identifiers. We do not use it for tracking, profiling, or advertising.
- Facial analysis results are not retained after processing is completed. The uploaded photo itself is deleted as described in Section 9.
6. How We Use Information
We use the information described above only to:
- provide the editing features you request, including uploading, processing, and returning your photos;
- show rewarded ads and grant the related rewards;
- process purchases and restore subscriptions;
- maintain security, prevent abuse and fraud, and diagnose technical problems;
- improve the stability and performance of the app;
- comply with applicable laws and lawful requests from authorities.
We do not use your uploaded photos, face images, or processed images for facial recognition, identity verification, biometric identification, advertising targeting, or sale to third parties. We do not use your photos to train artificial intelligence models unless we first obtain your separate and explicit consent.
7. Advertising, Tracking, and Your Choices
- App Tracking Transparency (iOS): We ask for your permission before allowing the advertising identifier to be used for tracking. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. If you do not allow tracking, you will still see ads, but they will be less relevant to you.
- Consent in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland: Where required by law, we ask for your consent before personalized ads are shown, using Google's consent tools. You can review or change your choice at any time through Privacy Options on the app's Settings page.
- Rewarded ads are optional. You can use the app without watching ads.
8. How We Share Information
We share information only with service providers that help us operate the Services, and only as necessary for the purposes in this Policy:
| Provider | Purpose | Information |
|---|---|---|
| Alibaba Cloud | Cloud storage, hosting, network services | Uploaded photos, processed results, technical logs |
| Google (AdMob) | Serving rewarded ads, consent management | Advertising information described in Section 4.3 |
| Umeng+ | Usage analytics and crash reporting | Information described in Section 4.4 |
| Apple | In-app purchases and subscriptions | Purchase information |
Our cloud processing providers may process your photos only on our instructions and only to provide the Services. They may not use them for their own purposes, including advertising, facial recognition, biometric identification, or model training. Google and Umeng process the information they collect under their own privacy policies.
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or RawBeauty.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your photos, face images, processed images, or personal information.
9. Data Retention
- Uploaded photos and processed results: automatically deleted from our servers within [3] days after processing is completed. They may be kept longer only if necessary to investigate a security incident or comply with a legal obligation.
- Processing task records: limited technical records of a processing task (without the photo itself) are deleted within [24 hours].
- Server logs: kept for up to [30] days for security and troubleshooting.
- Information on your device: remains until you delete it or uninstall the app. Items stored in the device keychain, such as trial usage, may remain after reinstallation to prevent abuse of free trials.
10. International Data Transfers
Our servers and service providers are located in [Hong Kong SAR, mainland China, and the United States]. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we take appropriate measures to protect your information in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.
11. How We Protect Your Information
We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS) for uploads and downloads, time-limited access links for uploaded files, and access restricted to authorized systems and personnel.
No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Your Rights and Choices
- Permissions: You can grant or revoke access to Photos, Camera, Microphone, and Tracking at any time in iOS Settings.
- Cloud features: You can avoid uploading photos by using only on-device features.
- Your privacy rights: Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, or California law), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. Because we do not use accounts, uploaded photos are deleted automatically; for other requests, please contact us using the details below. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by California law, except as described in Section 7 for ads where you have allowed tracking.
13. Children's Privacy
RawBeauty is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you in the app or by other appropriate means. The updated Policy takes effect on the date shown above.
