Privacy Policy Terms
Effective Date: November 6, 2023
This is the Privacy Policy of Even Edge and its various versions (hereinafter collectively referred to as "us," "we," or "our") and is incorporated into and is subject to our Terms of Use, which can be found at https://evenedge.co/terms. In this Privacy Policy, we refer to our products and services as the "Service." Please read on to learn more about our data handling practices. Your use of the Service signifies that you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Service.
Information We Collect
When you install the Service on your device and register, personally identifiable information about you may be collected during the download process for the Service (as requested during the download process) and when you register with us. For registration, you are required to provide your email address, city location, gender, and name, depending on the device(s) you are using for the Service. You may also provide personally identifiable information, but that is optional. When you log in using your Facebook account, we may collect additional information you make available to us (see "Your User Profile" below).
In addition, when you install the Service on your device and register, you may be asked to allow us access to your address book. If you consent, we will have access to contact information in your address book on the device you use for the Service (names, numbers, emails, and Facebook IDs, but not notes or other personal information in your address book), and we will store them on our servers and use them to help you use the Service, for example, by synchronizing your contacts between different devices you may want to use with the Service.
We may also collect and gather non-personally identifiable information, such as certain profile information, including country of residence and preferences. Additionally, we may collect and store information about your and others’ usage of and interaction with the Service and our websites, including matches, numbers of matches made by members, match durations, text messages, usage by geographies, device and connection information, IP address, device capability, bandwidth, statistics on page views, network type, and traffic to and from our websites.
Our applications allow you to share text messages, photos, screenshots, videos, and other communications in the application with other users. If you choose to do so, your text messages, photos, screenshots, videos, and other communications will be stored on our servers. If you choose to share these items with other users, we may not be able to remove them from our servers or make them unavailable to anyone you have shared them with. Sending and sharing text messages, photos, screenshots, videos, or other communications in the application is your decision. By choosing to share that information, you should understand that you may no longer be able to control how that information is used and that it may become publicly available (depending on your actions or the actions of others with whom you have shared the information). We are not responsible for any use or misuse of information you share. Additionally, if your conversation partner reports your abusive behavior or language to us, the conversation information such as voices, screenshots, or contents of the conversation, which have been stored only on your partner's device, may be transferred to our servers. Such transferred information will be processed by us to ascertain the genuineness of the report and determine your penalty levels if needed.
We may also collect and gather user content (e.g., photos, screenshots, comments, and other materials) that you create on the Service. Your photo can be taken by other users on our services, and if they use the capturing function provided by us, those photos can be stored and used for our services and third-party services (e.g., Facebook, etc.). If you do not agree with all the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Service. To complete a commerce transaction on our shop, you will be requested to provide your payment information, including your credit card number, card expiration date, CVV code, and billing address. In that event, we will transmit your information securely to a third-party vendor or merchant who will collect such information in order to process and fulfill your purchase. We do not process or store your payment information. However, we may store other information about your purchases made on the Service, which may include the merchant’s name, the date, time, and amount of the transaction, and other behavioral information.
We also collect error-reporting information if the Service crashes or hangs up so that we can investigate the error and improve the stability of the Service for future releases. In general, these reports do not contain personally identifiable information or only incidentally. As part of these error reports, we receive information about the type and version of your device, the device identifier, the time the error occurred, the feature being used, and the state of the application when the error occurred. We do not use this information for any purpose other than investigating and fixing the error.

Your User Profile
The information you enter into your user profile (your “Profile”) may be shared with your contacts. You control your Profile, and you can access and modify your Profile from the application at any time. In addition, if you register using your Facebook account (e.g., Facebook Connect), we may store your Facebook ID and corresponding token on our servers.

Your Profile is available to other users of the Service who are connected to you on our applications. In addition, unless you opt out, your Profile is discoverable by other users, including by way of example in listings of contacts that will include your proximity to other users. You may also “block out” any user in your contact list from discovering your Profile at any time. We may also pre-populate your Profile with certain information such as your name and Facebook profile picture if you or your friends have logged onto the Service using Facebook.
Data Access and Removal
You can always control what information you choose to share with us on the Service. To do so, you can change your settings in the Service or on your mobile device. Alternatively, you can remove the Service from your mobile device entirely. You can remove your data anytime you want. If you ask us to delete your account, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove your data from our servers. Any personally identifiable information that you share in text messages, photos, videos, or otherwise in or through the application with other users or submit on a blog, bulletin board, or chat room on our website or elsewhere can be viewed and used by others, including to send you unsolicited messages or to commit identity theft. We are not responsible for any use or misuse of your information that might result from your disclosure of information.
Service Providers
In certain instances, we may have contracts with third parties to provide products and/or services in connection with the Service. In those cases, we may share your personal information with our third-party service providers, but only in connection with providing the services to you. For example, we may share your phone number or email with third-party SMS and email providers to deliver the authentication SMS or email to you when you register. We contractually require that these third parties use your information solely to deliver SMS or email to you and to use appropriate security measures to protect your information. In addition, certain servers are owned and hosted by third-party service providers. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third-party service providers.
Outbound Links
If you accessed a website, product, or service provided by a third party, including through the Service, such a third party may also collect information about you. Please see the privacy policies of each such third party for more information about how they use the information they collect. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any exchange of information between you and any third party.
Opt-Out Promotional Communications
We allow you to choose not to receive promotional email messages and service provider messages. You may opt-out by following instructions in the message sent by us or our service providers on how to unsubscribe from that particular mailing. You may also opt-out by contacting us at hello@evenedge.co.
Security
Protecting user privacy and personal information is a top priority for us. We make substantial efforts to ensure the privacy of all personally identifiable information you provide to us. Access to all personally identifiable information is restricted to those employees, contractors, agents, and third-party service providers who need to know that information in order to provide, operate, develop, maintain, support, or improve the Service. We use password protection, access logs, and system monitoring to safeguard the confidentiality and security of all member information. However, due to the inherent nature of the Internet and related technology, we do not guarantee the protection of information under our control against loss, misuse, or alteration.
Data Collection
We collect and store user-uploaded photos solely for the purpose of image generation. All photos are securely stored on Google Cloud servers and will only be used for image generation purposes. We do not share, sell, or distribute user photos to any third parties. Users have full control over their photos and may request their deletion at any time. Upon request, all stored photos will be permanently deleted from our servers. We ensure that your photos are protected by the security measures provided by Google Cloud, which complies with industry-leading standards. If you have any concerns or wish to request the deletion of your photos, please contact us at support@evenedge.co.
In our applications, we require users to upload photos containing their selfies directly from their phones to our secure cloud servers for the purpose of creating AI-generated headshots. This process involves the collection and processing of facial data, which is essential for training our stable diffusion model. We assure our users that there is no sharing or manipulation of these photos with any third parties.
Storage and Security of Facial Data
The security and confidentiality of our users' facial data are of utmost importance. Photos containing facial data are stored on our servers only for the duration necessary to train our AI models, typically around 10-12 minutes. After the training process is complete, these images are promptly deleted from our servers. This practice is in line with our commitment to ensuring the highest levels of data security and privacy.
Data Access and Removal
Users have the right to access and request the deletion of their facial data. Should a user decide to remove their data, we will undertake all necessary steps to ensure that their facial data is completely and securely erased from our servers. This action, once completed, is irreversible.
Commitment to Data Security
We employ state-of-the-art security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, and misuse of facial data. Our dedicated team continuously monitors and updates our security practices to safeguard our users' information.
By using our applications, users acknowledge and consent to these practices. We are committed to transparently managing and protecting our users' data and will continue to update these practices in accordance with the latest data protection standards and regulations.
Age
The Service is not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13), and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen as part of the Service. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personally identifiable information from a user under the age of thirteen as part of the Service, we will delete such information from our records. If we change our practices in the future, we will obtain prior, verifiable parental consent before collecting any personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen as part of the Service.
Notification of Changes
We reserve the right at our discretion to make changes to this Privacy Policy. You may review updates to our Privacy Policy at any time via links on our website. You agree to accept electronic communications and/or postings of a revised Privacy Policy on our website, and you agree that such electronic communications or postings constitute notice to you of the Privacy Policy.
