Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the LaughShot iOS app. By using the App, you agree to this policy.

Information We Collect

The App does not collect, over-request, or upload your personal information.

  • No accounts, contact details, or identity data are collected.
  • No device identifiers, ad identifiers, or location data are collected.
  • No third-party analytics or advertising SDKs are used.
  • When you choose a video for analysis, the App temporarily processes face-related data from video frames on device, including face presence, face count, face bounding box position, and expression-related numeric signals derived from facial landmarks.
  • The App does not collect face templates, facial geometry profiles, or any biometric database used to identify a specific person, and it does not attempt to determine who the person is.

How We Use Information

All processing happens locally on your device to:

  • Select videos from your Photos library for analysis.
  • Detect faces in video frames and estimate whether a face is centered and prominent in order to choose better moments for a Live Photo cover.
  • Estimate expression intensity or emotion tendency from facial landmarks solely to rank and filter candidate moments.
  • Generate and save Live Photos to your Photos library.

Sharing

We do not share, sell, or disclose your face data or video content to any third parties. The App contains no ads or analytics and does not send face data to developer servers, cloud services, or third-party SDKs.

Storage & Security

Processed and generated content stays on your device or in your Photos library. The App does not upload or store content in the cloud. Face detection results, facial landmarks, and expression analysis results exist only temporarily in on-device memory during analysis for the current ranking session. Only the Live Photo output that you choose to save is written to your Photos library.

Face Data

All face-related processing is performed locally on the user's device and is not transmitted to our servers. We do not use face data to identify individuals, and we do not share any face data with third parties.

  • Types: face presence and count, face bounding box position, facial landmark availability, and expression or pose signals computed from landmarks.
  • Purpose: find better moments in a video for Live Photo generation and rank them by expression intensity, subject prominence, and visual quality.
  • Sharing: not shared with any third party and not used for advertising, profiling, tracking, or identity recognition.
  • Retention: retained only temporarily in device memory during a single analysis session and not kept by the App after analysis completes, the App is closed, or the task is cancelled.

Your Rights

You can revoke Photos access at any time in iOS Settings or delete generated content.

Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
