Privacy Policy
Thank you for choosing Lumyn, a user-friendly image-to-anime conversion tool designed to provide you with a seamless and enjoyable creative experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our services, as well as your rights and choices regarding your information. By using Lumyn, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the practices described in this Policy.
1. Information We Collect
Lumyn is designed to prioritize your privacy, and we only collect the minimum amount of information necessary to provide and improve our services. Since no account registration is required to use the App, we do not collect personal identification information such as your name, phone number, or email address by default. The information we may collect falls into the following categories:
1.1 Images and Related Content You Provide
When you use Lumyn's core image-to-anime conversion function, you will need to select or upload images from your iOS album. These images are provided directly by you, and we only process them to apply the anime-style conversion effects you choose. We do not actively collect or store your original images or converted anime images unless you explicitly choose to save or export them through the App's built-in functions (e.g., saving to your iOS album or sharing to third-party platforms).
1.2 Device and Usage Information
To ensure the stable operation of the App and optimize your user experience, we may automatically collect certain non-personal device and usage information. This information includes, but is not limited to:
1.3 Information Collected Through Batch Processing and Album Integration
Lumyn supports seamless integration with iOS albums and batch image processing. When you use the batch processing function, we only temporarily access the specific batch of images you select from the album for processing. We do not access or scan the entire contents of your album without your explicit selection. The integration with iOS albums is solely to facilitate your quick selection of images and does not involve the collection or storage of album contents by us.
2. How We Use the Collected Information
The information we collect is strictly used to provide, maintain, and improve Lumyn's services. Specifically, we use the information for the following purposes:
2.1 To Provide Core Conversion Services
The images you provide are used exclusively to apply the anime-style conversion effects you select. Our image processing is completed locally on your device as much as possible to ensure the privacy and security of your images. Only in cases where cloud computing is required to support complex style effects (if any) will the images be temporarily transmitted to our secure servers, and they will be deleted immediately after the conversion is completed.
2.2 To Ensure App Stability and Performance
The device and usage information we collect helps us identify and fix technical issues (e.g., crashes or functional failures) that may occur during the App's operation. By analyzing usage data, we can optimize the App's performance, reduce loading time, and ensure that it runs smoothly on different iOS device models and system versions.
2.3 To Optimize User Experience
We use usage data such as your preferred anime styles to personalize your App experience. For example, we may display your frequently used styles on the homepage for your convenience. We also analyze overall usage trends (without identifying individual users) to develop new anime styles and functions that better meet the needs of anime enthusiasts, content creators, and users with image beautification needs.
2.4 To Support Export and Sharing Functions
When you choose to export the converted anime images to your iOS album or share them to third-party platforms (e.g., social media, messaging apps), we will use the necessary system permissions and related information to complete these operations. We do not intervene in or store the content you share to third-party platforms; the sharing process is governed by the privacy policies of the relevant third-party platforms.
3. How We Protect Your Information
We attach great importance to the security of your information and take a series of technical and management measures to prevent the unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of the information we collect. The specific protection measures include:
3.1 Local Processing Priority
Most of Lumyn's image processing functions are completed locally on your iOS device. This means that your images do not need to be transmitted to external servers in most cases, greatly reducing the risk of information leakage during transmission.
3.2 Secure Data Transmission (If Applicable)
If cloud computing is required for certain complex anime style conversions, we use industry-standard encryption technologies (e.g., SSL/TLS) to transmit your images and related data. All data transmitted to our servers is encrypted, and only authorized technical personnel can access it for the purpose of completing the conversion function.
3.3 Strict Data Storage and Retention Policies
We do not store your original images or converted anime images for a long time. Any temporarily stored data (e.g., images processed on the server) will be automatically deleted immediately after the corresponding service is completed (i.e., after the conversion is successful and you have obtained the converted image). Device and usage information is stored securely on our servers and will be retained only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated in this Policy. After the retention period expires, the information will be permanently deleted or anonymized.
3.4 Access Control and Security Audits
We implement strict access control measures for the information we collect. Only authorized personnel who need to access the information to perform their work duties (e.g., technical maintenance personnel) can access it, and they are bound by strict confidentiality obligations. We also regularly conduct security audits and vulnerability scans to ensure the security of our data storage and processing systems.
3.5 Compliance with iOS Security Standards
Lumyn is developed in compliance with Apple's iOS platform security guidelines. We strictly abide by the relevant regulations on data processing and privacy protection of the iOS system, ensuring that the App's permission application and use meet the platform's security requirements.
4. Sharing of Information
We attach great importance to the privacy of your information and will never actively share, rent, or sell your information to any third party for commercial purposes. Information may be shared only in the following limited circumstances:
4.1 With Your Explicit Consent
We will only share your information with third parties if you explicitly agree to it. For example, when you choose to share the converted anime images to third-party social media platforms, the images will be shared in accordance with your instructions, and the sharing process is subject to the privacy policies of those third parties.
4.2 For Service Providers Who Assist Us in Providing Services
We may engage trusted third-party service providers to assist us in providing and improving our services (e.g., cloud computing service providers who support complex style conversions). These third parties are only authorized to process your information in accordance with our instructions and for the specific purposes of providing the services we entrust to them. They are required to comply with strict privacy protection requirements and may not use the information for any other purposes.
4.3 To Protect Our Legitimate Rights and Interests (Non-Legal Content)
In rare cases, we may share information if it is necessary to protect the security and integrity of our services, prevent fraud or abuse of the App, or protect the legitimate rights and interests of us or other users (e.g., handling disputes related to the use of the App).
5. Your Rights and Choices Regarding Information
You have the right to control and manage the information related to your use of Lumyn. We provide you with the following ways to exercise your rights:
5.1 Control of Permissions
You can manage the permissions granted to Lumyn at any time through your iOS device settings (e.g., revoking the App's access to photos). Please note that if you revoke certain permissions, some functions of the App (e.g., image selection and conversion) may not work properly.
5.2 Management of Images
You have full control over the original images you upload and the converted anime images. You can choose to save, delete, or share these images at any time through your iOS album or the App's built-in functions. We do not retain these images without your permission.
5.3 Request to Access or Delete Information
If you want to know what non-personal device and usage information we have collected about you, or if you wish to request the deletion of such information, you can contact us through the email address provided in this Policy. We will respond to your request as soon as possible and process it in a timely manner.
6. Retention Period of Information
We retain the information we collect only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy and to ensure the stable operation of the App. The specific retention periods are as follows:
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our service functions or user experience optimization needs. When we make significant changes to the Policy, we will notify you through a prominent pop-up window within the App when you open Lumyn next time. The updated Privacy Policy will take effect immediately after notification. We encourage you to review this Policy regularly to stay informed of how we are protecting your information.
