Ancestor Lens Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Ancestor Lens. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile app. Ancestor Lens is a freemium application developed by deepqeeb.pro that provides AI-powered image generation and transformation features.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices. We collect only anonymous analytical information without any connection to your personal identity. Your photos are processed temporarily to generate AI portraits and are immediately deleted after processing. This policy describes our privacy-first approach and your rights regarding your data.

2. Information We Collect

Minimal Data Collection: Ancestor Lens is designed with privacy in mind. We collect only anonymous analytical information without any connection to your personal identity, along with data necessary to provide core functionality.

2.1 User-Generated Content

When you use the app to generate or transform images, we temporarily process:

  • Images you upload or create within the app
  • Generation parameters and preferences you select

Important: This content is processed only to provide the requested functionality and is not stored permanently on our servers. Photos are immediately discarded after processing.

2.2 App Preferences

We store your app settings locally on your device, including:

  • Display preferences and theme settings
  • Notification preferences
  • Feature usage history (stored locally)

All preferences remain on your device and are never transmitted to our servers.

2.3 Anonymous Analytics

We collect only anonymous analytical data to improve app performance and user experience. This data includes:

  • General usage statistics (e.g., session duration, feature usage patterns)
  • Technical information (e.g., device type, OS version)
  • Crash reports and performance metrics
  • Aggregated feature usage data

Privacy Protection: All analytics data is completely anonymous and cannot be linked to you personally. We do not collect, store, or process any personally identifiable information through analytics.

2.4 Premium Subscriptions

If you purchase premium features (Monthly Pro or Annual Pro), payment and subscription information is processed securely by the App Store. We do not have access to your payment details. The app may store your premium status and usage limits locally on your device to unlock premium features.

2.5 Face Data and Photos

Our app allows users to upload photos containing faces for the purpose of generating artistic portraits and entertainment-only visual insights. We do not collect, store, or retain biometric identifiers, face geometry, or facial templates. All photo processing is non-biometric and based only on pixel-level visual characteristics.

Data Usage and Processing

Uploaded photos are used exclusively to create AI-generated portraits and fictional resemblance insights. The photo is transmitted securely to an AI model provider (Google Gemini) for processing and then immediately discarded. We do not store photos or face data on our servers.

Data Retention

User photos and all associated visual data are retained only temporarily in memory for the duration of processing. Once the AI-generated output is produced, all face data is permanently deleted. We do not maintain, cache, or archive any face data.

Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or disclose face data to any third parties. Photo data is used solely for on-demand AI processing and is not stored or reused.

Third-Party Services

Photos are processed via Google Gemini strictly for generating the user-requested output. Google does not receive, store, or use face data for training or any other purpose. No other third parties have access to face data.

3. How We Use Information

  • To provide image generation and transformation features
  • To process your photo requests temporarily and deliver AI-generated content
  • To track premium subscription status and usage limits locally on your device
  • To analyze anonymous usage patterns and improve app features
  • To monitor anonymous crash logs and performance metrics for stability improvements
  • To understand general user behavior and optimize the app experience
  • To ensure the app functions properly and securely

Privacy Guarantee: All analytics data we collect is completely anonymous and aggregated. It cannot be used to identify you personally or track your individual activity. Photos are processed temporarily and immediately deleted.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not collect, sell, rent, or trade your personal information. The only information we share is anonymous analytics data:

4.1 Third-Party AI Services

Ancestor Lens uses Google Gemini for temporary image processing. Your photos are transmitted securely, processed immediately to generate AI portraits, and then permanently deleted. Google does not store, retain, or use your photos for training or any other purpose beyond generating your requested output.

4.2 Analytics Service Providers

We use third-party analytics tools that collect only anonymous, aggregated data about app usage, crashes, and performance. This data cannot be linked to any individual user.

4.3 App Store

Premium purchases are processed securely through the App Store. We do not have access to your payment information or financial data.

4.4 Legal Requirements

In the unlikely event required by law, we may be obligated to disclose information. However, since we only collect anonymous data and temporarily process photos, there is minimal personal information to disclose.

No Personal Data Sharing: Since we do not collect personally identifiable information and photos are immediately deleted after processing, there is no personal data to share with third parties.

5. Data Security

Your privacy is protected by design:

  • Photos are processed temporarily and immediately deleted after AI generation
  • All app preferences are stored exclusively on your device
  • We collect only anonymous analytics that cannot be linked to you personally
  • Image transmission to AI services uses secure encrypted connections
  • No personal information is transmitted, stored, or processed by our servers
  • Premium subscription status is managed locally on your device
  • We do not maintain any database of user photos or personal information

Privacy by Design: Since we do not collect or store personal information, and photos are immediately deleted after processing, there is minimal personal data at risk of being compromised.

6. Children's Privacy

Ancestor Lens is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

7. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Access: View all data stored locally in the app settings
  • Correction: Update your preferences and settings at any time
  • Deletion: Delete the app and all locally stored data at any time
  • Anonymous Analytics: We collect only anonymous data that cannot identify you. If you prefer to opt out of analytics, you can disable it in your device's privacy settings or through app settings if available
  • Photo Privacy: Your photos are processed temporarily and immediately deleted. We do not store any photos or face data
  • Premium Management: Manage premium subscriptions through App Store settings

No Personal Data Collection: Because we do not collect personally identifiable information and photos are immediately deleted after processing, there are no data access, correction, or deletion requests related to personal information stored on our servers.
