Your photos and videos 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 service@huayuqixin.com.

2. Photos, videos, and on-device processing

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

Selected videos are processed on your device for private import, playback, optional on-device face suggestions, manual timeline editing, preview, encoding, saving, and sharing. Face Blur does not upload your selected photo or video, cropped or private working copies, detected face regions, person masks, editing coordinates, sticker placement, preview frames, or exported media to our servers.

3. Temporary files and retention

The app creates opaque, app-private cache files so it can process selected media, recover safely from an interrupted step, keep a private video editing session, and let a 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 when the workflow replaces it. 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 where that retention rule applies. 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. Media metadata

For photo exports, Face Blur removes GPS and other location metadata. 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.

For video exports, Face Blur strips sensitive container metadata according to the current on-device export pipeline and does not keep original location-bearing container fields in the private finished copy. Removing metadata does not remove visible or audible information in the media itself. Review the finished output before saving or sharing it.

5. Permissions and system services

The operating system photo or video picker provides access to the media 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. Optional Pro purchases use Apple App Store or Google Play Billing on the device.

Face Blur does not request location, contacts, microphone, advertising identifier, or account permissions for its current features. In-app purchase uses the store account already signed in on your device; Face Blur does not create a separate Face Blur account.

6. On-device libraries and third parties

Face detection uses the bundled Google ML Kit face detector on photos and, when you request automatic suggestions, on private video frames. Optional background blur uses a bundled on-device selfie segmentation model. Cropping, playback, encoding, 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 media-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. Purchase, restore, refund, and payment details are handled by Apple or Google under their terms; Face Blur does not receive your full payment card number.

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 usage events to us.

Operational errors shown in the app use stable reference codes. The app is designed not to place photos, videos, thumbnails, filenames, local paths, face coordinates, tracking identifiers, OCR text, or original metadata values in logs. Network use is limited to store purchase flows, opening public policy links you choose, and other system services you trigger.

8. Settings stored on your device

Face Blur stores your appearance, language, and metadata-removal preferences on your device. It may also keep a local record of your Pro purchase status and whether you have used the one free private video export. These settings are not uploaded to our servers. You can reset them by changing the settings, clearing app data where supported, or uninstalling the app.

9. Free and Face Blur Pro

Face Blur has two access levels. Free lets you edit single photos on your device and try private video protection once—including on-device face suggestions, timeline editing, and one full private video export. Face Blur Pro is an optional one-time purchase through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Pro unlocks batch photo protection and unlimited private video exports. The store shows the local price.

Payment, restore purchase, and refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their terms. Cancelled or failed purchases do not unlock Pro. Purchases on iOS and Android are separate.

10. Children

Face Blur is a general privacy media 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 media of other people. Store purchase rules for minors, including Ask to Buy or family controls, are enforced by Apple or Google.

11. Your choices and rights

Because the current app does not receive your photos or videos or create an account, we normally have no server-side Face Blur media data to access, correct, export, or delete. You control selected media, local app data, saved copies, and sharing destinations on your device. Purchase history and refunds are managed through your Apple or Google account.

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

12. 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.
