Privacy Policy

01 · Information we handle

The current app does not require a Fanumi account. You do not need to provide a phone number, identification number, or social media login to use local recordkeeping features.

Version 1.0.0 did not include an advertising SDK. From version 1.0.1, builds with advertising enabled involve the Google AdMob processing described below. We do not use your local collections for advertising profiles or provide your collected photos, text or artist preferences to advertising services.

02 · Optional permissions

• Reading Photos: To select and import images or videos, including a video you choose for on-device audio extraction. Where iOS supports limited access, you may authorize only selected photos. Declining permission prevents the corresponding import feature from accessing your library; saved content remains available.
• Adding to Photos: To save an image or card when you ask to do so. Declining prevents saving in this way, without preventing editing inside the app.
• Device music library: Requested only when you tap “Device music library” to choose a song. iOS may call this permission “Media & Apple Music”; Fanumi uses it only for your selected, accessible local song and its metadata. Declining does not prevent importing from Files or playing songs already saved in Fanumi. There is no Apple Music subscription playback or catalog access.
• Notifications: For birthdays, anniversaries, and reminders you set. Disabling notifications stops system alerts; you can still view the records in the app.

Manage permissions in iPhone Settings under Fanumi or the relevant permission category; the exact location varies by iOS version. Current features do not request contacts, location, microphone, camera, or cross-app advertising tracking permission.

Revoking Photos or device music library access does not delete copies you previously imported into the app. See section 6 for deletion options.

03 · Cloud cutout and portrait effects

Cloud image cutout is an optional online feature. The app explains it on first use and lets you choose whether to continue. Later processing occurs only when you actively request cutout for a selected image. The app does not scan and upload your whole gallery in the background.

When online processing is needed, the app uploads the selected image, potentially cropped and compressed for processing, to the Alibaba Cloud object storage used for this feature, then calls its human-body segmentation service. The service separates the subject from the background and returns a transparent-background image to your device. The request also involves technical information necessary for transmission, such as your IP address, request time, and request identifier.

This is image editing, not identity verification, face matching, or the creation of a face identity database. We do not use submitted images to train our models, for advertising, or for public display. Images may contain your portrait or other people's personal information. Submit only content you have the right to process, and avoid unnecessary sensitive content such as identification documents or private scenes.

Outline, glow, and relief effects are processed and rendered on your device. These effects do not upload images or effect data to servers. A relief effect is a visual representation, not a measurement of a person's actual three-dimensional body or identity.

Cutout results and necessary caches are saved on your device. Section 5 explains cloud source-image deletion and possible failures. Declining cloud cutout does not prevent basic local archives, timelines, or collections.

04 · Third-party services

Apple system features provide photo selection, saving, notifications, and sharing. When you actively share content with another app, the recipient handles it under its own rules. You can cancel before sending.

UI libraries such as SnapKit and IGListKit handle on-device layout and lists. These components do not send your images or archives to their developers.

We process or provide information only for the purposes described, with any required authorization, or to meet legal obligations. Where a service provider acts on our behalf, we specify the purpose, scope, and protection requirements as required by law. If a merger or similar change transfers responsibility for information, we will give legally required notice of the recipient and obtain fresh consent where required for a changed purpose or method.

05 · Storage, retention, and security

Records on your device

Except for actively submitted cutout images, your archives, timelines, media copies, room settings, and other user content stay on your device. They remain there for your use and can be managed as described in section 6. The current version does not enable in-app iCloud sync. Whole-device backups, device transfers, or external exports you choose to use are governed by the relevant system or service.

The device may keep thumbnails, cutout results, and derived relief caches to avoid repeated processing. Caches are separate from originals or edited results you deliberately save. Deleting the app removes data in its app container; system backups and exported copies must be managed separately.

Temporary cutout files

Images uploaded to the Alibaba Cloud storage used for cutout have private access. Temporary access credentials are created for processing. After success or a failed request, the app sends a request to delete the source image.

A deletion request may fail because of lost connectivity, app interruption, or a cloud service error. An expired access link does not itself mean the file has been deleted. To check or request removal of a temporary image, contact us with the approximate processing time and a description of the issue. You do not need to resend the original image first.

The returned image is downloaded for local editing. Alibaba Cloud's own technical logs and handling of processing results follow its applicable service and privacy terms. You can contact us about related personal information requests.

Feedback and safeguards

Information you email is retained only as necessary to address the feedback, resolve related disputes, and meet legal obligations, and is deleted or anonymized when no longer needed and no legal retention duty applies. Contacting support does not add you to a marketing list.

We use safeguards such as encrypted network transport and private file access. If a personal information security incident occurs, we will take remedial steps and provide any notifications or reports required by law. Please also protect your device and keep the app and operating system updated.

06 · Your data and choices

• Access, correction, and copies: View and edit content in the relevant archive, timeline, gallery, or collection. Use available save or share features for supported media exports. Other requests can be sent by email.
• Delete an item: Use the relevant record's edit or delete action.
• Clear archive data: Use “Clear local data” in settings to remove archives, timelines, related media, imported songs, song artwork and lyrics, music folders, and corresponding reminders. Room preferences and some caches may be stored separately. To remove all data in the app container, use iOS “Delete App,” rather than “Offload App,” which keeps app data.
• Manage copies: Deleting a song removes its audio and artwork copies from Fanumi, not the original in Files or the Music app. These actions do not delete originals in Photos, content already shared with others, or system backups. Manage those copies separately.
• Withdraw permission: Turn off Photos, device music library, or notification access in system settings. Stop requesting cloud cutout to stop further image uploads. Contact us to withdraw other consent or request deletion of information already processed.
• Stop using Fanumi: The current version has no Fanumi account and therefore no separate account-deletion step. You can remove your data and stop using or delete the app.

Withdrawal does not affect lawful processing carried out before consent was withdrawn. We verify identity and relevant facts only as necessary for a request, without requiring unrelated information. We will respond promptly and explain any legal reason for not fulfilling a request and available next steps. You may also complain to the relevant privacy authority.

07 · Minors and local records

Fanumi 1.0.1 is intended for teenagers and adults aged 13 and over and is not specifically directed to children under 13. A store content rating does not verify age or establish that a user is an adult. Regional storefronts may display different equivalent ratings. Minors should use the app with a guardian’s guidance and obtain guardian consent when required. We do not infer age from artists or photos in a collection.

Age safeguards for advertising: Fanumi does not require every user to be 18 to receive ads. Where Apple indicates applicable regional age-assurance requirements, we request an age range through Apple. We do not collect birthdays or upload Apple’s raw age range. We send Google the applicable ad-protection category to restrict ad processing. Known users under 13 receive no ads. Eligible users aged 13–15 receive child/under-consent-age ad protections, and users aged 16–17 receive teen protections; all requests remain non-personalized with a general-audience content limit. In other supported regions, users whose age is unknown receive the most restrictive ad treatment without a separate age prompt. Unknown age is never treated as proof of adulthood. If a required age signal or permission is unavailable or declined, no ads load and local collection features remain usable.

Where required for the introduction of advertising, Apple’s system flow requests a parent’s or guardian’s permission or an adult’s acknowledgment of the update. Advertising remains disabled until that requirement is met. The app stores only the update permission/request status needed to avoid repeated requests, not the age range or birthday. Systems that cannot complete a required regional flow remain ad-free. Google UMP manages applicable privacy choices separately from Apple’s age-sharing flow; granting one does not replace the other.

The app fetches a public advertising enablement configuration from the developer website. This request does not include an age response, user archives, or advertising device identifiers. The website hosting service receives basic connection information such as the IP address needed to serve the request.

The same local storage rules apply to minors. Except for images a user actively submits for Alibaba Cloud cutout, the app does not upload minors' archives, photos, text, or birthdays to any server, or create server-side profiles of minors. The developer cannot remotely view, modify, or delete these local records. A guardian can help a minor view, edit, or delete them on the device as described in section 6.

Minors should read this policy and use the relevant features with a guardian's guidance. Cloud cutout uploads the image selected by the user. Where this involves the personal information of a child under 14, legally required consent from a parent or other guardian must be obtained first. Do not submit such images without the necessary authorization. Declining cutout does not prevent basic local collection features.

If a guardian believes an image was submitted to Alibaba Cloud without the necessary consent, they can email us to request investigation, cessation of processing, or deletion. This concerns only an image actually submitted to the cloud and contact information voluntarily provided. It does not mean the developer holds or can access other records on the device.

The description of local content does not mean that the advertising SDK processes no technical information. See section 4 for categories, purposes and choices. A guardian who believes advertising-related processing involves child information without appropriate authorization may contact us to request that processing stop or obtain help requesting deletion from the provider.

08 · Visiting these web pages

These pages require no login and have no image-upload or personal-information form. The page code does not set advertising trackers or behavioral analytics cookies.

These legal information pages are hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub logs and stores visitors' IP addresses for security purposes, whether or not visitors are signed in to GitHub. Technical information needed to deliver the pages may be processed outside mainland China; this is separate from the app's Alibaba Cloud cutout service in Shanghai. For processing details, contacts, and privacy rights, see the GitHub General Privacy Statement and GitHub Pages data collection information. These pages do not receive your app collections, process your images online, or create user profiles.

Loading a web page sends technical request information such as an IP address, browser request information, path, and time to the server delivering it for transmission and necessary security. Visiting this page does not upload your Fanumi collections. External links and email services process related information under their own rules when you choose to use them.

09 · Policy changes

We update this policy to reflect actual features and applicable requirements, and show the revision date. For material changes to purposes, methods, information categories, or your rights, we will explain them through an appropriate notice, such as an in-app notice. Where fresh consent is legally required, we will obtain it before implementing the change; publishing new text alone does not replace that consent.
