These Terms of Service and Privacy Policy regulate the download, access, and use of the mobile applications (hereinafter, the “APPS”) owned and operated by Boyswithbeards (hereinafter “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The APPS are available to users on the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android).
By downloading, accessing, or using the APPS, you (the “user”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must immediately cease using the APPS.
1. About the Apps & Responsibilities
The APPS are owned and operated by Boyswithbeards. For any inquiries, support requests, or legal notices, you can contact us at our official email: info@boyswithbeards.net.
The APPS provide users with tools to interact with, create, and generate customized digital content. Depending on the specific application downloaded, functionality includes text-based entertainment and utility tools (e.g., motivational phrases, daily affirmations, jokes, calculators, and curiosities) as well as advanced generative artificial intelligence features (e.g., converting uploaded user photos or ultrasound scans into artistic, photorealistic portraits or short cinematic video keepsakes).
2. Compatible Devices & Subscriptions
The APPS are available on compatible mobile devices via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The user acknowledges and agrees to comply with all applicable terms and conditions set forth by these respective application stores regarding downloads, usage, and updates.
The APPS offer free versions with limited content and features. To access advanced features, age-progressions, variations, or extended generation capabilities, users must subscribe to a Premium version through available payment plans (e.g., monthly, annual, or lifetime). Payments, renewals, and cancellations are securely processed directly through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store billing systems, and their transactional terms apply exclusively.
3. Intellectual and Industrial Property Rights
All intellectual property rights over the APPS, including their design, underlying source code, user interfaces, branding, logos, and proprietary pre-loaded content, are owned strictly by the Company.
3.1 User Content & Generative AI Outputs
Users may upload original content, such as text prompts, photographic assets, or medical ultrasound scans (“User Content”). You represent and warrant that you own or have obtained all necessary consents, licenses, and rights to upload such User Content.
You retain all fundamental ownership rights to your original User Content. By submitting User Content through the APPS, you grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, limited license to process, transmit, and display the content solely to fulfill the functionalities of the APP (e.g., rendering your generated image or video asset).
To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and the terms of our third-party infrastructure providers, outputs generated by the APPS’ AI models based on your User Content are yours to use, download, and share for personal, non-commercial purposes.
4. Privacy Policy & Data Protection
This section explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data. Boyswithbeards acts as the Data Controller for personal data collected within the APPS.
4.1 Data We Process
We process information that you actively provide to us and data collected automatically via the device operating system:
• User-Provided Assets: Text prompts, queries, configurations, and uploaded images/media assets (such as photos or ultrasound scans used for generative features).
• Device and Usage Logs: IP address, operating system, unique device identifiers, language preferences, crash logs, and features interacted with inside the APPS.
• Permissions: We request explicit operating system permission to access your device’s Camera, Photo Library, or Push Notifications. These can be revoked at any time via your device settings.
5. Face Data Processing Notice (Mandatory Apple Guideline 5.1.1(i) Disclosures)
Certain applications within our portfolio include features that process facial features or biological representations extracted from uploaded user photos, images, or multi-dimensional ultrasound scans (collectively referred to as “Face Data”). To ensure complete transparency and security, we provide the following strict disclosures:
A. Reasons for Storing and Processing Face Data
We process and temporarily store Face Data exclusively to execute core user-requested functionalities within the APPS. This includes converting an ultrasound scan or portrait into a high-resolution photorealistic portrait, creating a short video portrait keepsake, rendering age-progressions, or merging parent features to simulate a future child’s likeness. The APPS do not use Face Data for user identification, authentication, advertising, profiling, or tracking across other platforms.
B. Length of Storage and Retention Period
Face Data is subject to a strict, non-indefinite operational lifecycle.
• App-Level Cache: Uploaded source assets containing facial structures are cached temporarily on our secure servers purely for the duration of the active generation session and are immediately overwritten or purged upon the completion or cancellation of the AI transformation task.
• Downstream Infrastructure Retention: Data passed securely via enterprise APIs to our verified sub-processors is retained only for standard operational compliance, customer-defined file lifecycles, and content safety filtering. Depending on the provider, data logs are cleared within a fixed window ranging from 30 days, 55 days, or up to 180 days for explicit content safety logs before permanent deletion.
C. Third Parties with Whom Face Data is Shared & Purpose
To deliver premium, state-of-the-art generative features, the APPS securely transmit user-uploaded assets (which may contain facial structures or text configurations) to leading, audited cloud computing and artificial intelligence sub-processors. These third parties act strictly as technical data processors under confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from selling, sharing, or deploying your data for any marketing or public model-training purposes.
We share data with the following core infrastructure networks:
1. OpenAI: Utilized for intelligent prompt analysis, text compilation, and primary image rendering.
2. Google Gemini: Utilized for dynamic content mapping, localized language interfaces, and text-to-feature execution.
3. Seedance (via BytePlus ModelArk): Utilized exclusively as the specialized engine to animate static photographic imagery and transform source assets into soft, cinematic, high-resolution AI video keepsakes.
D. Privacy Practices & Storage Lifecycles of Third-Party Processors
Our verified AI infrastructure providers adhere to enterprise-grade data protection compliance and enforce the following exact retention rules for data received via our developer API connections:
• OpenAI API: Does not use data submitted to its business offerings to train or improve its models. For standard API requests, data is stored securely for abuse and safety monitoring for a maximum of 30 days, after which it is permanently deleted. However, application state features (such as threads, uploaded custom files, or vector stores) persist on their servers until explicitly deleted by us or the user.
• Google Gemini API: For Paid Services/Enterprise API tiers, prompts, system instructions, and responses are not used to train Google’s models. Google logs API payloads for a maximum of 55 days strictly for abuse monitoring and prohibited use detection. Data associated with structural features (such as Grounding queries) drops to a 30-day retention window, while standalone media files uploaded via their File API persist until manually deleted or until they hit customer-defined expiration bounds.
• Seedance / BytePlus ModelArk API: Processes data solely under explicit customer instructions and does not use customer data for public model training without prior authorization. They retain inputs and outputs triggered by internal content safety and compliance filters for up to 180 days to prevent platform misuse. Other standard asset storage timelines are governed tightly by user-defined session lifecycles or until the underlying processing purpose is completed.
6. International Transfers and General Security
Our services operate globally. The personal data and assets you upload are encrypted both in transit (via TLS 1.2/1.3 secure protocols) and at rest (via AES-256 standard encryption) and may be transferred to and stored on secure cloud clusters located primarily in the United States, Europe, and major Asia-Pacific data infrastructure regions.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from or target our apps to individuals under the age of majority in their jurisdiction. If we discover a minor has bypassed controls and submitted data, it will be scrubbed immediately from our active databases.
7. Your Data Rights & Contact
Depending on your geographic location, you possess explicit statutory rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, rectify, restrict, or request the immediate deletion of your data from our systems.
