Emotion Detector

Effective Date: August 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Monova Tech ("Service Provider", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the Emotion Detector mobile application (the "Application").

We respect your privacy and are committed to handling your information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use the Application and how it is handled.


Information Collection and Use

Emotion Detector is designed to analyze emotional expressions and provide an estimated emotion result using features supported by the Application.

Depending on the features you use, the Application may process information such as:

Important: Emotion Detector is intended for entertainment and general informational purposes. Emotion detection results are estimates generated by an automated system and should not be treated as a medical, psychological, or professional assessment.

Camera and Image Access

If you use the camera feature, the Application may request permission to access your device's camera. Camera access is used only to provide the feature you requested.

If you select an existing image from your device, the Application may request access to that image so that it can perform the requested emotion detection.

The Application does not intentionally access photos, videos, or camera content unrelated to the feature you choose to use.

Processing of Images and Facial Information

Images or camera frames may be processed to identify visual patterns associated with facial expressions and generate an estimated emotion result.

Where technically possible, image processing may take place directly on your device. If a feature requires processing by a third-party service, the relevant image or information may be transmitted to that service solely to provide the requested functionality.

Your images: We do not sell your photos, camera images, or facial images. We also do not intentionally use images submitted for emotion detection for advertising purposes.

Storage of Images and Results

Images used for emotion detection may be temporarily stored in application memory or temporary storage while the requested analysis is performed.

Unless a feature specifically allows you to save an image or result, the Application is not intended to permanently store your camera images or selected photos on our servers.

Emotion results or application preferences may be stored locally on your device when necessary to provide the Application's features.

Automatically Collected Information

The Application or its third-party services may automatically collect limited technical information necessary to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Application.

This information may include:

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Application or its third-party SDKs may use cookies, SDKs, identifiers, pixels, and similar technologies to support functionality, analytics, advertising, security, and service improvement.

Where required by applicable law, consent will be obtained before using non-essential tracking technologies.

Analytics and Crash Reporting

The Application may use third-party services to understand Application performance, identify crashes, diagnose technical problems, and improve the user experience.

These third-party services may process technical and usage information according to their own privacy policies.

Advertising

If the Application displays advertisements, advertising providers may process certain information to provide, measure, and improve advertising services.

Advertising-related information may include advertising identifiers, device information, Application interaction information, approximate location, and other information permitted by applicable law.

Privacy of your images: Your photos, camera images, and emotion detection results are not intended to be used for personalized advertising.

How We Use Information

Information may be used for purposes including:

Third-Party Access

We do not sell your personal information, photos, or facial images.

Information may be processed by trusted third-party service providers when necessary to operate, maintain, secure, analyze, or improve the Application.

If a third-party service is required to process an image for a feature you explicitly request, that service may receive the information necessary to perform the requested processing.

Disclosure of Information

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary:

International Data Transfers

Some third-party service providers may process information in countries outside your country of residence.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, appropriate legal mechanisms may be used, including:

California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

These rights may include the right to know, access, delete, correct, and, where applicable, opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

You will not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.

Opt-Out Rights

You can stop further information collection from the Application by uninstalling it from your device.

You may also manage available permissions and certain privacy settings through your device's operating system.

You can deny or revoke camera and photo permissions through your device settings. However, doing so may prevent related emotion detection features from working.

Uninstalling the Application does not automatically delete information that may already have been transmitted to third-party services or retained as required by law.

Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law.

Children's Privacy

Emotion Detector is not intended for children under 16 years of age, or such higher age as required by applicable law.

We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child in circumstances where it should not have been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Security

We take reasonable physical, technical, and organizational measures to help protect information processed through the Application against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Data Breach Notification

If a security incident results in a breach of personal information and applicable law requires notification, we will provide notification in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Application, our practices, or applicable legal requirements.

Material changes will be published with an updated effective date.

Your Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you provide consent by affirmatively opting into the relevant feature or processing activity.

You may withdraw consent at any time where applicable. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

Important: Emotion Detector provides automated estimates of visible emotional expressions. It is not a diagnostic tool and should not be used to diagnose mental health conditions, determine a person's psychological state with certainty, or make medical or other high-impact decisions.
