Effective Date: 01.01.2026
1. Introduction
We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy notice explains how we collect, use, and share your personal information when you visit our website or use our services.
2. Data Controller
The data controller is Jekirdek Technology, located at BİRUNİ Technopark, Kazlıçeşme Mah. 245.Sok. No:5 Zeytinburnu/İSTANBUL, TÜRKİYE. You can contact us at app@jekirdek.com for any questions regarding your personal data.
3. Personal Data We Collect
We collect facial data and images that you voluntarily provide through our mobile application or website. We may collect and process the following personal data:
- Facial images or video clips uploaded by you
- Identification details (e.g., name, email address)
- Contact information (e.g., phone number, address)
- Usage data (e.g., IP address, browser type, pages visited)
- Other information you provide to us (e.g., feedback, inquiries)
4. Purpose of Processing
We do not use photographs or videos you provide when you use the Apps for any reason other than to provide you with the editing functionality of the Apps. We use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to process the collected facial data to generate images or other content as per the functionality of the application or website. This processing is necessary for providing the requested features and services.
You only send to the cloud the photographs or videos that you specifically select for editing. Photographs or videos are temporarily cached on the cloud servers during the editing process and encrypted using a key stored locally on your mobile device. Photographs or videos may remain in the cloud for a maximum limited period of 1 month, for improved performance and lower bandwidth allowing additional changes to recently selected photos or videos in an optimal manner.
When you use the Apps and select photographs or videos for editing, we cache them for processing to render the requested editing service. We process only specific photos and videos you choose to modify using the Apps; and we do not collect your photo or video albums even if you grant us access to them. We safeguard each photograph or video that you select using an encryption key stored locally on your device.
Please note that while we do not require or request any metadata attached to the photographs or videos you select for editing, metadata (including, for example, geotags) may be associated with your photographs or videos by default. We take steps to delete any metadata that may be associated with a photograph or video you provide when you use the Apps. Photographs or videos may remain cached in the cloud for a limited period of 1 month after your last edit.
The facial data you provide is used solely for the purposes of:
- Generating AI-powered images or content based on your input
- Improving the functionality and accuracy of our AI technology
- Personalizing your experience on the platform
We process your personal data for the following purposes:
- To provide and manage our services
- To communicate with you and respond to your inquiries
- To improve our website and services
- To comply with legal obligations
5. Third-Party Sharing
We use third-party cloud providers — specifically, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services and Runpod GPU Service — to process and edit photographs and videos. Personal data will not be used beyond the original purpose of their acquisition. In particular, the data you provide to us will not be used for advertising purposes. We do not sell personal information.
We may share your non-photograph and non-video information in the following circumstances:
- Affiliates: We may share information we collect from you with our subsidiaries and affiliates, for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
- Service providers: We may share your information with service providers that perform services on our behalf or help us operate the Apps. These third parties may use your information only as directed or authorized by us.
- Third-party platforms and social media networks: You may select to post the edited photograph or video to your social media account. We do not control any third-party platform’s use of your information.
- Professional advisors: We may disclose your information to professional advisors, such as lawyers and auditors, where necessary in the course of professional services.
- Business transfers: We may transfer or assign your personal data in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, or other transfers of assets.
- Compliance with law: We may be required to disclose your information to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process.
6. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:
- Your consent
- Performance of a contract
- Compliance with a legal obligation
- Legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party
7. Data Retention
Your data will be retained only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above, or as required by applicable laws. After this period, your data will be securely deleted or anonymized. We configure Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services and Runpod GPU Service to delete photographs and videos until 1 month after the photograph or video was last edited using the Apps.
You may also ask that we delete your information using the “Request cloud data removal” option in the “Support” section of the Apps settings.
