Data Protection Commitment

We follow all applicable data protection laws, including the Data Protection Act 1998 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as well as any future updates or replacement laws. We do not misuse your data, and all information provided by users is used only to deliver and improve our services. We do not sell your data to third parties or use it for any purpose other than operating our products and mobile applications. We may collect information such as device ID, device type, IP address, general location, connection details, page views, traffic data, advertising data, and standard web log information. 

We may also collect details about the products or services you use or enquire about, information needed to respond to your requests, and files you choose to upload while using our apps. We do not collect or store any information from your Google Drive account. In addition, we may collect information you provide directly through our website or app, customer surveys, or other interactions, as well as limited information collected indirectly through your use of our services, only as necessary to support and operate them.

Information We Collect

We collect some information to help our apps work properly and improve your experience. This includes information you choose to share with us, such as your name or username, email address for support or communication, and any feedback, questions, or survey responses you send us. We also automatically collect basic device and technical information when you use our apps, such as your device ID, device type and model, operating system version, browser type, screen size, IP address, general location (city or country), app instance ID, and advertising ID. This helps us understand how our apps are used, fix technical issues, and improve performance. We may also collect app usage and analytics data, such as which features you use, when you install and open the app, how often and how long you use it, and where you were referred from. Some of our apps allow you to select photos or videos for editing, and we only process the files you personally choose. 


We do not access your full gallery or albums. Media files are protected, and any metadata such as location tags is removed where possible. Photos or videos may be stored temporarily for a short time (usually 24 to 48 hours) so you can continue editing, and they are automatically deleted afterward. If an app uses face-related features, face data is handled carefully and only for app functionality, is never used for face recognition or identification, is not shared with any third parties, and is deleted immediately after the editing or processing is completed.

What Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect or store your payment card details or any banking information. We do not access or store any content from your Google Drive account. We also do not collect sensitive personal information unless it is absolutely necessary for a specific app feature to work. In addition, we do not track or collect your precise real-time location.

How We Use the Information We Collect

We use the information we collect to provide and operate our services, make app features work properly, and improve the overall performance and functionality of our apps. This information also helps us personalize your experience, provide customer support, send important updates, understand how users interact with the app, and meet legal requirements. Photos or facial features are used only to deliver the app’s intended features and are never used for any other purpose.

Data Retention Policy

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed to provide our services. Photos and videos are stored only while you are actively using the editing features and are deleted automatically within 1 to 24 hours after the session ends. Usage data may be kept for a longer time to help us improve the app and maintain security. Any data stored on your device can be removed at any time by deleting the app.

Retention of Face Data

Face data is collected only when it is needed to provide specific editing features in the app and is kept only for the duration of the active editing session. In all cases, face data is stored for a very limited time and never for more than 24 hours. Once the editing or processing is completed, the face data is automatically and permanently deleted from our systems. We do not keep any copies or backups of face data, and it is not retained for any other purpose beyond providing the requested app functionality.

Third-Party Information Sources

In some situations, we may receive limited information about you from trusted third-party sources. This can happen when you contact us through external platforms, when fraud-prevention services alert us to suspicious activity, or when app stores confirm your subscription or purchase status. Any information received from third parties is used only for legitimate business purposes, such as providing support, ensuring security, and delivering app features, and is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Sharing of Information

We may share limited information with trusted third parties such as cloud hosting providers, analytics services, advertising partners, and customer support providers, only as needed to operate and improve our services. We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or government request. We do not sell user data under any circumstances.

International Data Transfers

Chandrakant Patil Apps is based in India, and the information we collect may sometimes be transferred to, stored in, or processed on servers located in other countries. This can happen because we use trusted service providers and technology partners that operate in different parts of the world. No matter where your data is processed, we take reasonable steps to protect it and handle it according to this Privacy Policy. By using our services, you understand and agree that your information may be transferred and processed outside your country of residence.

Security Measures

We take the security of your information seriously and use reasonable steps to protect it from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. These steps include using encryption, secure servers, access controls, and regularly reviewing our security practices. Even with these measures in place, no system or method of data transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security at all times.

User Rights and Data Control

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to you, you may have certain rights over your personal information. These rights can include the ability to ask for access to the data we hold about you, request corrections if any information is inaccurate or incomplete, ask for your data to be deleted, or request that we limit how your data is used. In some cases, you may also have the right to withdraw your consent for data processing. If you wish to exercise any of these rights or have questions about your data, you can contact us, and we will review and respond to your request in accordance with applicable laws.

Sale or Transfer of Business

If Chandrakant Patil Apps is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or any other business reorganization, user information may be transferred as part of that process. In such cases, any new owner or entity that receives the information will be required to handle your data in a way that follows this Privacy Policy and provides the same level of protection.

These ads are managed by third-party providers, and we do not have control over how they collect or use your information. Their data practices are governed by their own privacy policies.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are not designed for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a child without the consent of a parent or guardian, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our systems.

GDPR Compliance (EEA Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you are protected by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Under this law, you have certain rights over your personal data, including the right to access your data, request a copy of it, transfer it to another service, or ask for it to be deleted. We process personal data in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner and take appropriate steps to protect your rights in accordance with GDPR requirements.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA & CalOPPA)

If you are a resident of California, you have specific privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA). These rights include the ability to request information about the personal data we collect, ask for your personal data to be deleted, and choose not to have your data sold. We want to be clear that we do not sell personal data, and we respect and support the privacy rights provided to California residents under these laws.
