Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile application Passport Photo & ID Creator and describes our privacy practices in connection with the application's features, including photo capture, photo import, editing, face detection, passport and ID photo preparation, print layouts, and export.

By installing or using the application, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the practices described here, please discontinue use of the application.

1. Information and Permissions

The application does not require you to create an account or provide information such as your name, postal address, or telephone number in order to use its core photo-creation features.

Depending on the features you use and your Android version, the application may request access to the following device capabilities:

• Camera — to capture a new photo.
• Photos and media — to select an existing photo.
• Notifications — where enabled and permitted, for application-related notifications.
• Internet/network access — for advertising, updates, and applicable online services.

Permissions are used to provide the corresponding application functionality. You can manage or revoke applicable permissions through your Android device settings.

2. Camera Access

If you choose to take a photo using the application, the app requests access to your device camera.

Camera access is used to capture the image you request for passport, visa, ID, or other supported photo purposes. The application does not intentionally use the camera to continuously monitor you in the background.

If you deny camera permission, you can still use features that do not require camera access, such as importing an existing photo, where available.

3. Photos and Media

You may choose an existing image from your device for editing or passport-photo preparation. The application may request the appropriate Android photo or media permission depending on your device and Android version.

Photos are used to perform actions requested by you, including cropping, rotation, mirroring, brightness adjustment, contrast adjustment, saturation adjustment, alignment, resizing, and export.

4. Photo Processing

Passport Photo & ID Creator provides local image-processing functionality for creating and editing passport-style and ID photos.

Depending on the feature being used, processing may include:

• Photo cropping
• Photo rotation
• Image mirroring
• Brightness adjustment
• Contrast adjustment
• Saturation adjustment
• Face alignment assistance
• Photo resizing and formatting
• JPG and PNG export
• PDF export
• Print-layout preparation

The application is designed so that ordinary photo-editing operations can be performed on your device without requiring personal photos to be uploaded to our servers.

If a future feature introduces remote processing or another form of online data transmission, this Privacy Policy and the application's applicable disclosures will be updated accordingly.

5. Face Detection

The application may use face-detection technology to assist with positioning and alignment when creating passport or ID photos.

Face detection is used for functionality such as identifying the approximate location of facial features and helping you position the face within the selected photo guidelines.

Face detection is not intended to determine or verify your identity, authenticate you, or create an identity profile.

The application may use Google ML Kit's face-detection technology. Where the relevant ML functionality operates on-device, facial detection processing is performed locally on your device.

6. Local Storage and Exported Files

Photos, exported files, project information, and application preferences may be stored locally on your device when necessary to provide application functionality.

When you export a photo, the application may create files in JPG, PNG, or PDF format. Depending on your Android version and the export mechanism used, files may be stored in an application-related pictures or media location.

You control files stored on your device and can delete or manage them using Android or compatible file-management tools.

Uninstalling the application may remove application-specific local data, subject to Android system behavior and files that you have separately exported or moved to other locations.

7. Internet Access

The application may use network connectivity for services that require internet access, including advertising, application-update functionality, and other applicable services.

Internet access is generally not required for photo-editing operations that are performed entirely on your device.

Network services may collect technical information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

8. Advertising and AdMob

Passport Photo & ID Creator may display advertisements through third-party advertising services, including Google Mobile Ads (AdMob).

Advertising providers may automatically process certain information from or about your device for purposes such as delivering, measuring, limiting, and improving advertisements.

Depending on the applicable configuration, region, device, consent status, and advertising request, this information may include:

• Advertising identifiers
• IP address
• Device and application information
• Approximate location derived from network information
• Advertising and interaction information
• Diagnostic and performance information

The information processed by advertising providers is subject to their own privacy policies and applicable terms.

We do not intentionally send your personal passport or ID photos to advertising providers merely because advertisements are displayed in the application.

You can learn more about Google's privacy practices through Google's official privacy documentation.

9. App Updates

The application may use Google Play's application-update services to check for or provide available updates.

Update functionality may communicate with Google Play services and may require an internet connection.

Information handled by Google Play services is subject to Google's applicable privacy policy and terms.

10. Third-Party Services

The application may use third-party libraries and services to provide specific functionality. Depending on the version and configuration of the application, these may include:

• Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) — advertising services.
• Google ML Kit — face-detection functionality.
• Google Play services — application update and related Android services.
• AndroidX and other open-source libraries — application functionality and user-interface components.

Third-party services may process technical information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of the relevant third-party providers.

11. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal photos or intentionally provide your personal photos to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

Certain technical or advertising-related information may be processed by integrated third-party service providers when required to provide their services, such as advertising or application updates.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable laws or legal obligations.
• Respond to valid legal processes or governmental requests.
• Protect the rights, safety, security, or property of users or the service.
• Detect, prevent, or address fraud, abuse, or security issues.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by the application and to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Photos processed locally remain on your device unless you intentionally share, export, back up, or otherwise transmit them using functionality provided by Android or another application.

However, no method of electronic storage, processing, or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use reasonable security measures on your device, including a secure screen lock and current Android security updates.

13. Data Retention and Deletion

Because the application's core photo-processing features are designed primarily for local use, personal photos processed by those features are not intentionally retained by us on a central server.

Photos and exported files saved on your device remain there until you delete or otherwise manage them.

Information that may be processed by third-party services, such as advertising or Google Play services, is subject to the retention practices and policies of those providers.

You can remove locally stored application data through Android's application settings or uninstall the application. Separately exported files may need to be deleted manually.

14. Your Privacy Choices

You have control over several permissions and device-level settings used by the application.

Depending on your Android version, you can manage permissions for:

• Camera access
• Photos and media access
• Notifications

You can deny a permission when requested or revoke a previously granted permission through Android settings. Some application features may not work when the associated permission is disabled.

You may also manage advertising and privacy controls provided by Android, Google Play, or applicable third-party services where those controls are available in your region.

15. Children's Privacy

Passport Photo & ID Creator is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.

We do not knowingly create user accounts or profiles for children through the application.

If you believe that personal information has been provided to us by a child in a manner that should not have occurred, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

Third-party services integrated into the application may have their own age requirements and privacy practices.

16. Official Government Disclaimer

Passport Photo & ID Creator is an independent photo creation and editing application.

The application is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or operated by any government, passport authority, immigration authority, embassy, consulate, or other official document-issuing organization.

Passport and ID photo requirements may differ by country, document type, authority, and application method and may change over time.

Information and dimensions provided by the application are intended as a convenience and reference. Users should always verify the latest requirements with the relevant official authority before submitting a photograph.

17. External Links

The application or associated services may provide links to external websites or third-party services.

We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of external websites or services.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy and terms of any third-party website before providing personal information.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the application, third-party services, applicable laws, security practices, or privacy requirements.

When changes are made, the updated policy will be published with a revised effective date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the application after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
