Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 22, 2026
SpecSnap (“the App”) is developed by an independent developer. This policy explains how the App handles your information.
Photos and Image Processing
All photo processing — face detection, background removal, cropping, and export — happens entirely on your device. Your photos are never uploaded to any server. The App does not transmit, store, or have access to your photos outside of your device.
Face Data
To generate ID photos, the App uses Google ML Kit’s on-device face detection to measure where the face appears in your photo. Specifically, it extracts:
- The face bounding box and eye positions (used to align and crop the photo to government ID specifications).
- Head pose angles (used to correct slight head tilt).
- Eye-open and smiling probabilities (used to validate photo quality for ID standards).
The App does not create face embeddings, perform face recognition, or extract any biometric identifier. The measurements above are geometric coordinates and quality signals, not a fingerprint of your face.
Processing location. All face detection runs on your device using on-device ML models. Face data is never transmitted to any server, and is never shared with any third party.
Retention.Face measurements exist only in memory while you are editing a photo and are discarded when you close or leave the app. The final cropped photo may be saved to the App’s local photo history (up to 10 photos; older unpaid photos are automatically removed). You can delete any photo from the History screen at any time, or uninstall the App to remove all stored data.
Data We Collect
The App itself does not collect personal data. Specifically:
- No account required. You do not need to create an account or provide any personal information to use the App.
- No server-side processing. All image processing runs on your device using on-device machine learning models.
- No analytics (currently). The App does not currently use third-party analytics services. If analytics are added in a future update, this policy will be updated accordingly.
- Local storage only. Purchase state and photo history are stored locally on your device using standard platform storage. This data is not transmitted anywhere.
In-App Purchases
The App offers in-app purchases processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store). Payment information is handled entirely by Apple or Google — the App does not collect, store, or have access to your payment details. Please refer to Apple’s Privacy Policy or Google’s Privacy Policy for how they handle payment data.
Camera and Photo Library Access
The App requests access to your camera and photo library solely to capture or select photos for ID photo generation. These permissions are used only when you initiate the action (taking a photo or choosing from your gallery). The App does not access your camera or photo library in the background.
Children’s Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since the App does not collect personal data from any user, no special provisions are necessary. Parents or guardians may use the App to create ID photos for their children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
