What Information Do We Collect?
We gather information when you visit our service, register, place an order, subscribe to newsletters, respond to surveys, or fill out forms. Specifically:
• We may separately collect facial feature data from your photos solely to enable the face-swapping feature of our app. This data is not biometric.

How Do We Use the Information We Collect?
• Facial data is removed from our servers once video creation is completed; it is not stored again.
• We only use your photos and facial features to power the app’s functionalities. We do not employ these images or data for any kind of face recognition.
Data Retention:
We store your data only as long as necessary for processing purposes. For instance, your photos and videos remain on our server until you complete your editing session, and they are deleted within one hour after the session ends. Outside of that, photos and videos remain on your device and can be removed at any time by deleting them or uninstalling our app.

We collect facial feature data from your photos solely to offer face-swapping capabilities. Your photos and face data remain on our servers until you finish an editing session, but for no longer than 24 hours after the session ends.

Any photos used in our application are stored locally on your device and can be removed anytime by deleting them or uninstalling the app. We do not share facial data with third parties.
Use of Customer Information from Third Parties
Sometimes, when you contact us, we receive additional information from third parties. For example, if you provide your email to show interest in our services, a third party may supply fraud detection details.

Information about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), this section explains how and why we collect your data, and how we protect it according to GDPR.
What is GDPR?
GDPR is an EU regulation that governs how companies protect EU residents’ data and gives residents greater control over their personal information.
What is personal data?
Personal data is any information relating to an identifiable person, such as financial details, political views, genetic or biometric data, IP addresses, physical addresses, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. Under GDPR, personal data must be:
• Processed fairly, legally, and transparently.
• Collected for a specific, explicit purpose and used only for that purpose.
• Retained no longer than necessary.
• Accessible by the individual, who may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or transfer of their data.
Why is GDPR important?
GDPR imposes strict requirements for protecting personal data and increases penalties for non-compliance. At Lik Ness, we prioritize data privacy and implement robust security measures that often exceed GDPR requirements.
Individual Data Subject’s Rights – Data Access, Portability, and Deletion
We help our customers meet GDPR requirements. Personal data is stored with vetted, DPA-compliant vendors. We store conversation and personal data for up to 6 years unless an account is deleted, in which case data is disposed of within 60 days. We ensure customers can access, update, retrieve, and remove personal data. Our self-service setup grants you continuous access to your data. For any questions about API usage or data rights, our support team is available.
