While using Our Application, in order to provide features of Our Application, We may collect, with Your prior permission:
We use this information to provide and enhance features of Our Service, improve and customize user experience, and support research objectives. The facial data, including the 3D face models generated using the TrueDepth API, may be uploaded to the Company's servers and/or a Service Provider's server, or it may be stored locally on Your device, depending on user preferences and permissions.
You cannot disable the collection of facial data via the TrueDepth API through your device settings; however, you have full control over your data by deleting the app, which will remove all collected data from your device that has not yet been uploaded or transferred to the server.
The Company may use Personal Data for the following purposes:
We may share Your personal information in the following situations:
Our application uses the TrueDepth API to collect facial data for the purpose of creating 3D models of the user's face. This data includes a 3D mesh and texture map of the face, which are used solely to create a 3D representation for research purposes related to genetic studies. The 3D models assist in detailed analysis and research into human genetics, specifically to understand and identify facial phenotypes associated with genetic disorders.
The collected facial data is stored locally on the device within the app's secure sandbox environment and is not shared with third parties. The 3D facial data remains under the control of the user and is only accessible within the app unless explicitly transferred to our connected application, GenPK. GenPK also handles data securely and requires explicit consent from the user for any data export or use.
The data collected is intended exclusively for research conducted in collaboration with specific research institutions, including:
In the future, other research institutions may join the project and use this app to collect data from families with genetic disorders, with the required written consent from our second app named GenPK. The data aids these institutions in conducting genetic research, contributing to better understanding and potential advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of genetic conditions.
The facial data collected via the TrueDepth API will be used solely for research purposes and stored for up to three years or until the research project’s end, whichever comes first. This time frame is necessary to allow for comprehensive analysis, follow-ups, and validation in genetic studies. After this period, the data will be deleted from the device unless the user provides consent for continued use.
The Company will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
The Company will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of Our Service, or We are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.
The 3D facial data collected via the TrueDepth API will initially be retained only on the user's device within the app's secure sandbox. The data will be transferred through our connected app, GenPK, the data will then be securely uploaded to our servers for research purposes. Once transferred, the data will be retained for up to three years or until the completion of the specific research project it was collected for, whichever is sooner. This duration is necessary to allow for comprehensive analysis, longitudinal studies, and follow-ups in ongoing research. After this period, the data will be securely deleted from our servers unless the user provides consent for an extension.
Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at the Company's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from Your jurisdiction.
Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by Your submission of such information represents Your agreement to that transfer.
The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of Your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of Your data and other personal information.
You have the right to delete or request that We assist in deleting the Personal Data that We have collected about You.
Our Service may give You the ability to delete certain information about You from within the Service.
You may update, amend, or delete Your information at any time by signing in to Your Account, if you have one, and visiting the account settings section that allows you to manage Your personal information. You may also contact Us to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that You have provided to Us.
Please note, however, that We may need to retain certain information when we have a legal obligation or lawful basis to do so.
If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, Your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before Your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).
The Company may disclose Your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Facial data collected through the TrueDepth API is stored locally and securely on the user's device. We use secure storage methods to protect the data from unauthorized access. The data is confined to the app's sandbox environment and is never transmitted outside the device unless the user explicitly consents and authorizes the transfer.
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.
If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.
User consent is required before any facial data collected via the TrueDepth API is used or transferred. By using the application, users agree to the collection of facial data for the purposes outlined in this policy. Before any data is transferred to the GenPK application, explicit consent will be requested from the user, and the transfer will be conducted in a secure manner.
