Yeko Privacy Policy

Introduction

Yeko is designed with your privacy in mind. This policy outlines how we handle information when you use our photo editing app, ensuring transparency about what data we process and why.

1. No Collection of Image Data

Your photos and image content are strictly private. Yeko does not collect, store, or back up any of your photos, whether they are uploaded for editing, in-progress edits, or final results.

All image processing—including applying AI styles, filters, or saving edits—happens entirely on your device. No image data is transmitted to our servers or any third-party services.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

To be clear, we do not gather or process the following:

• Original or edited photos from your device
• Metadata embedded in your images (e.g., location tags, timestamps)
• Content details (e.g., people, objects, or text visible in your photos)
• Any image-related data shared with third parties (we cannot share what we do not collect)

3. Limited Technical Data for App Improvement

Yeko may collect minimal, anonymous technical data to enhance app performance. This data is never linked to your identity or images and includes:

• Device model and operating system version (e.g., "iOS 16" or "Android 13")
• Basic usage statistics (e.g., how many times a filter is used, app crash reports)
• App version number (to ensure compatibility with updates)

This data is used solely to fix bugs, optimize features, and improve overall user experience. It is stored securely and anonymized, with no way to trace it back to you.

4. Your Control Over Data

You have full authority over your information when using Yeko:

• Edited images are saved directly to your device’s gallery—Yeko cannot access these files unless you choose to re-upload them for further editing.
• You can delete the app at any time, which removes all local traces of Yeko’s operation from your device.
• Technical data collected for app improvement can be opt-out of via your device’s settings (where supported by your OS).

5. Data Security

For the limited technical data we do collect, we use industry-standard security measures to protect it from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. This includes encryption for data in transit (where applicable) and secure storage practices.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect app changes or legal requirements. When we do, we will:

• Post the revised policy in the app’s "Settings" section
• Note the effective date of the update
• Provide a summary of key changes if they affect how we handle data

Your continued use of Yeko after an update means you agree to the revised policy. We encourage you to review it periodically.

7. Contact Us

If you have questions, concerns, or requests related to this privacy policy, please reach out to our team at camerastyle-yekohelper@outlook.com. We aim to respond to inquiries within 5 business days.

8. Invitation Code Functionality

Yeko offers an invitation code feature that allows users to share the app with friends. This feature is designed solely to measure user sharing behavior and does not collect any personal data:

• Anonymous Tracking: Invitation codes are randomly generated and not linked to your personal identity. We only track whether a code was used to install the app, not who used it.
• No Data Collection: The invitation code system does not access or transmit any information from your device, including contacts, photos, or usage data.
• Limited Purpose: Data collected via invitation codes (e.g., number of successful referrals) is used exclusively to improve our growth strategies and is not shared with third parties.

Your privacy is protected even when using social features. Yeko does not monitor or record your sharing activity beyond basic analytics for the invitation code system.
