1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how RK Textile ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the PixelForge mobile application ("PixelForge" or "the Application"). Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to being transparent about our data practices.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Photos and Images
PixelForge accesses photos and images on your device only when you explicitly select them for editing. We do not access your photo library in the background or scan your images without your knowledge.
- Local Processing: Most image editing operations are performed locally on your device. Your photos are not uploaded to our servers unless you specifically use a cloud-based feature such as AI background removal.
- Cloud Processing: When you use AI-powered features, images are temporarily transmitted to our processing servers, processed, and immediately deleted from our systems after the result is delivered to your device. We do not store, archive, or use your images for any purpose beyond fulfilling your editing request.
2.2 Account and Profile Information
- If you create an account, we collect your email address and display name for authentication purposes.
- Account creation is optional. PixelForge can be used without an account for local editing features.
2.3 Automatically Collected Information
- Device Information: Device model, operating system version, and screen resolution to optimize the editing experience for your device.
- Usage Analytics: Anonymized data about which features are used most frequently to help us prioritize improvements.
- Crash Reports: Diagnostic information collected when the application encounters an error to help us fix bugs.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To provide photo editing and creative design features within the application.
- To process images through AI-powered features when you request them.
- To improve application performance and develop new features based on anonymized usage data.
- To respond to support inquiries.
- To send service-related notifications when necessary.
4. Photo Privacy
We take the privacy of your photos seriously:
- We never access your camera roll without your explicit permission.
- Photos processed through cloud features are encrypted during transmission and deleted from our servers immediately after processing.
- We never use your photos to train AI models, create datasets, or for any purpose other than fulfilling your editing request.
- We never share your photos with third parties.
5. Data Storage and Security
Data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS. Any temporary server-side processing occurs in isolated environments. We implement security best practices to prevent unauthorized access to your data.
6. Third-Party Services
PixelForge may integrate with the following types of third-party services:
- Cloud Processing Providers: For AI-powered features. These providers process data under strict contractual obligations and do not retain your images.
- Analytics Services: For anonymized usage statistics. These services do not receive identifiable information or access to your photos.
7. Children's Privacy
PixelForge is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
8. Your Rights
You may:
- Use PixelForge without creating an account (local editing only).
- Request access to personal data we hold about you.
- Request deletion of your account and associated data.
- Revoke device permissions (camera, photo library) through your device settings at any time.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated through the application. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
