This Privacy Policy (this “Privacy Policy”) describes:
This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect in Lensa and via email, text, and other electronic communications sent through or in connection with Lensa.
We undertake to build Lensa and any of its features in such a way that it respects your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy not only allows you to understand what we do with your Personal Data (as defined below), but also to manage your Personal Data effectively.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. By downloading, installing, registering with, accessing or using (“Using”) Lensa, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, do not Use Lensa.
By Using Lensa you understand and agree that we are providing you with tools for editing and adjusting photos and videos that you can upload onto it. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or Lensa, please contact us (for contact information, please, see How to Contact Us Section).
This Privacy Policy DOES NOT apply to the information that:
Our websites and other apps, and these other third parties may have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before providing information on or through them.
This Privacy Policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy Section). Your continued use of Lensa after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this Privacy Policy periodically for updates.
We may collect several types of information, including but not limited to Personal Data, from and about you:
To the extent information is: (i) associated with an identified or identifiable natural person and (ii) protected as personal data under applicable data protection laws, such information is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Personal Data”. Please bear in mind that provisions of Section 6 do not apply to your pseudonymized Personal Data.
When you Use Lensa, we may ask you to provide certain information, including your Personal Data:
You may provide photos and videos you upload to Lensa for publication or display on third-party websites and other online services, you access through Lensa (“Post”). You confirm that you have all required rights, approvals and consents from any third parties, if applicable, to use their photos and videos or photos or videos on which other individuals are shown through Lensa and to Post such photos and videos on third-party websites and other online services. This may be applicable if you: (i) Post, or use photos or videos (via Lensa), that are not your’s; or (ii) Post, or use photos or videos (via Lensa) of other individuals, that require such persons' and/or individuals' consent (for more information on the Lensa Terms of Use, please visit the following link).
Your photos and videos are Posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Additionally, we cannot control the actions of third parties with whom you may choose to share your photos or videos. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your photos or videos will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.
When you Use Lensa, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns, including:
We also may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). If you do not want us to collect this information, do not download Lensa or delete it from your device.
The information we collect automatically under this Privacy Policy may include your Personal Data and information we may maintain or associate with your Personal Data that we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve Lensa and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including but not limited to enabling us to estimate our audience size and Usage patterns and recognize when you Use Lensa.
If the information covered by this Section 3 is aggregated or de-identified, so it is no longer reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, we may use it for any business purpose.
The technologies we use for automatic data collection may include:
Third-party analytics. We use third-party analytics tools, such as Google Firebase, Facebook Analytics, AppsFlyer and Amplitude, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for Lensa. These tools collect information sent by your device or Lensa, including the web pages you visit when following the links available to you on Lensa. We collect and use this analytics information with analytics information from other Users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual User. For information on how third party analytics tools collect and process your data and to opt out of such collection and processing, generated by your Use of Lensa, please visit the following link.
Cookies (or mobile cookies) and similar technologies. A cookie is a small file placed on your smartphone. When you Use Lensa, we may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about how you Use Lensa and provide features to you. We may ask our Service Providers to serve services to your devices, which may include cookies or similar technologies placed by us or such Service Providers (on our request). You may refuse to accept mobile cookies by activating the appropriate mobile browser setting on your smartphone.

However, if you select these mobile browser settings you may be unable to access certain parts of Lensa. Unless you have adjusted your mobile browser setting, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to Lensa.
Log file information. Log file information is automatically reported by Lensa each time you make a request to Use Lensa. When you Use Lensa, we and our Service Providers may automatically record certain log file information, including your web request, IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on and through Lensa, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information. The information allows us to receive more accurate reporting and improve Lensa.
Device identifiers. When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to Use Lensa, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers”. Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may identify data stored in connection with the device hardware, operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by us. A device identifier may deliver information to us or to our Service Providers about how you Use Lensa and may help us and others (on our request) produce a report on such Use. Some features of Lensa may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled. Among others we collect the following device identifiers:
Metadata. Metadata is a technical data that is associated with your photos and videos. For example, metadata may describe when and on which device your photo has been taken and how such photo is formatted. You may add or may have metadata added to your photos and videos. Please note that metadata associated with your photos is deleted automatically with your photos within 24 hours after we apply styles to them.
Registered Users. If you are a registered User, we may collect more Personal Data about you including the following:
For Use of Lensa you may provide us and upload to Lensa your face images (photo or video). In order to make possible for you to Use certain functions of Lensa, we will process (provided by you) human face images (photo or video) through TrueDepth API technologies that will provide us information about such human faces' position, orientation and their topology on your image and/or video frame. For more information about TrueDepth API technology we use, you may visit the following link.
Images (photo or video), that you provide us in or through Lensa, and/or other information related to human faces obtained from your images (photo or video) and/or through the use of TrueDepth API technologies, such as ARKit, are the “Face Data”. The Face Data shall be considered the Personal Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in other Sections of this Privacy Policy in relation to the Personal Data, we do not:
You hereby express your informed written consent on processing of your Face Data as described in this Section 4.
Your photos and videos. We do not use photos or videos you provide when you Use Lensa for any reason other than to apply different stylized filters or effects to them, unless you have given us your explicit consent to use the photos or videos for a different purpose. Please note that to apply different stylized filters or effects to your photos we may upload such photos to the cloud providers we use (Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services), in which case, the photos: (i) become available to us anonymously and (ii) are automatically deleted within 24 hours after being processed by Lensa.
Other information. We may use your information other than photos and videos for the following purposes:
We will not process your Personal Data in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it has been collected or authorized by you in accordance with this Section 5 or collect any Personal Data that is not required for the mentioned purposes (“purpose limitation principle”).
For any new purpose of processing we will ask for your separate explicit consent. To the extent necessary for those purposes, we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete and current. We also undertake to collect only such amount and types of your Personal Data that are strictly required for the purposes mentioned in this Section 5 (“data minimization principle”).
Access, modification, correction and erasure. You can send us an email at [email protected] to request access to, modification, correction, update, erasure or deletion of any Personal Data that you have provided to us and that we have about you. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
EEA/UK residents. Individuals residing in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom (“UK“) have certain statutory rights in relation to their Personal Data including under the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“EEA GDPR“) and the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/1586), as may be amended from time to time (“UK GDPR“) (collectively, the “GDPR“), including the rights specified below. You can exercise these rights by contacting us (for contact information, please, see How to Contact Us Section).
Please keep in mind that in case of a vague access, erasure, objection request or any other request in exercise of the mentioned rights we may engage you in a dialogue to better understand the motivation for the request and to locate responsive information. In case this is impossible, we reserve the right to refuse granting your request.
Following the provisions of the GDPR, we might also ask you to prove your identity (for example, by requesting an ID or other proof) in order for you to invoke the mentioned rights. This is made to ensure that no right of third parties are violated by your request, and the mentioned rights are exercised by an actual Personal Data subject or an authorized person.
Please note that we will grant your request within 30 days after receiving it, but it may take up to 90 days in some cases, for example for full erasure of your Personal Data stored in our backup systems - this is due to the size and complexity of the systems we use to store data.

The information they collect may be associated with your Personal Data or they may collect information, including Personal Data, about your online activities over time and across different websites, apps, and other online services websites.

The buyer or transferee will have to honor the commitments we have made in this Privacy Policy.
Responding to legal requests and preventing harm. We may access, preserve and share your information in response to a legal (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena), government or regulatory request if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal, government or regulatory requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects Users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. We may also access, preserve and share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to: (i) detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; (ii) protect ourselves, you and others, including as part of investigations; and (iii) prevent death or imminent bodily harm.

We use reasonable and appropriate information security safeguards to help keep the collected information secure and to secure it from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your collected information, we cannot guarantee the security of the collected information transmitted to or through Lensa or an absolute guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. Any transmission of your collected information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of security measures contained in Lensa. Please understand that there is no ideal technology or measure to maintain 100% security. Among others, we utilize the following information security measures:
The safety and security of your information also depends on you.

We retain your Personal Data for as long as we need it for the purposes for which it was obtained or until you ask us to delete it.
