FaceApp has all your Private Data |
We also, sent questions about the same to the company to which app founder and CEO Yaroslav Goncharov said:
"We don't SELL or SHARE any USER data with any third parties."
He also added: "Most images are deleted from our servers within 48 hours from the upload date/ time."
Now, here we are providing our personal information to the FaceApp which are:
- Images of our face.
- Our Personal Information
Also, one more important thing to note:
The app doesn't tell user that the images which they are processing are stored on there CLOUD SERVERS not on there personal devices.
CONCLUSION: Be very careful that what permissions you are giving to the app and actively opt-out all the features that you don't want for the app.
Remember, everything comes for a cost and here YOU are paying the cost in the form of losing YOUR Privacy and Personal Information.
