Privacy policy

Your photo stays yours.
So does your voice.

Your photo and voice become a character on your device. This page explains how the app, optional keyboard and website handle data. New avatar/GIF features are part of 1.1.1.

  • Processed on your device
  • No upload to a UFFF server
  • You choose what to share
01

Scope and contact

This policy covers the UFFF iPhone app and UFFF marketing/support website, provided by Ali Orkun Ozkul. For privacy questions or personal data requests, contact ali.ozkul@icloud.com.

UFFF is a sound toy. It does not assess mood, health, personality or demographic characteristics. There is no UFFF account, advertising, app analytics, cloud AI or app backend.

02

Recording and on-device processing

The microphone is used only when you start a visible recording session. Audio analysis, character creation, voice transformation and video rendering happen on your iPhone. UFFF does not send your recordings or creatures to the developer or an AI service.

The raw recording is deleted after the three processed voice profiles have been safely saved. Temporary recordings from cancelled or failed processing are also cleaned up. A processed voice may still identify a person; voice transformation does not guarantee anonymity.

03

Photos, face landmarks and avatars

The camera opens only when you choose to take a photo. The system photo picker provides only the photo you select; UFFF does not request access to your entire library. The photo is processed on your device to locate facial landmarks and generate a cartoon. The source photo is not stored with the avatar or uploaded to a server.

The generated avatar image and facial landmarks used for animation are stored locally. They are not used for identity verification or matching a person to other people. The avatar may still make you recognizable. You can remove stored avatars and creations using the deletion controls in the app.

04

Permissions

The camera is used to take a photo and the microphone for a recording you explicitly start. Add-to-Photos permission is requested only when you choose to save an export there. Manage permissions in iPhone Settings → Apps → UFFF. UFFF does not request contacts or location.

05

Optional GIF keyboard

GIFs you choose to add to the keyboard and their previews are stored in a local shared container accessible to the main app and keyboard extension. The iOS Full Access permission enables this local sharing and copying a GIF to the clipboard. The UFFF keyboard does not collect or transmit what you type and does not send data over the network.

Tapping a GIF copies it to the clipboard. You decide whether to paste and send it in the receiving app, whose policies then apply. Manage the shelf in UFFF or remove the keyboard in iOS Settings. The main app works without the keyboard.

06

Sharing is your choice

MP4 videos, GIFs and PNG cards leave the app’s local storage only when you share them or save them to Photos. The receiving app, recipients or Photos/iCloud Photos may process that copy under their own settings and policies. Your photo avatar and voice may make you recognizable.

Deleting content in UFFF does not automatically remove copies in Photos, the clipboard, messages or other people’s devices. Local duos use two creations saved on the same iPhone; they do not automatically connect to another user or send them content.

07

Local storage and deletion

The creature recipe, local name you choose, animation information and processed voices stay on this iPhone until you delete them. You can keep a creature’s appearance while deleting its voices, or delete the whole creature. You can also clear local content and preferences in Settings.

The library is excluded from the operating system backup. Uninstalling the app or changing phones can result in lost content. Export important videos, GIFs and cards first. Normal file deletion is used; forensic, irreversible erasure from physical storage is not guaranteed.

08

Purchases and free credits

Apple manages payment and purchase history through the App Store. UFFF does not receive your payment card details. The app uses verified purchase status from Apple to unlock or restore unlimited creation. See the Apple Privacy Policy for Apple’s processing practices.

The count of three free successful creations and local purchase status are held on your device. Deleting content does not renew used free credits or cancel your Apple purchase.

09

Support emails

If you email us, Ali Orkun Ozkul processes your email address, message and any information you choose to include to answer your request and resolve the issue. Correspondence uses iCloud Mail, whose service terms also apply. You do not need to send recordings or private names.

Correspondence is kept for as long as needed to follow up on the request and meet applicable retention obligations. Contact ali.ozkul@icloud.com to request access to, correction or deletion of support data.

10

This website and GitHub Pages

This website is hosted on GitHub Pages. The site code contains no analytics, ads, tracking pixels, cookies, persistent browser storage or external fonts. Changing language simply opens another local page.

When you visit GitHub Pages, GitHub logs your IP address for security, even if you are not signed in to GitHub. For hosting data, retention and international transfer practices, see the GitHub Pages explanation and GitHub Privacy Statement. When you open an email or external link, that service’s policy applies.

11

Your choices and requests

You can delete local app content, turn off microphone and Photos permissions, and choose not to share. The developer cannot access your private on-device library. For requests about support information you have sent us, email ali.ozkul@icloud.com.

Depending on the law that applies where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict processing, object, portability and a complaint to a data protection authority.

12

Updates

If the app’s or website’s data practices change, this policy and the update date above will be revised. You can contact us at the support email with any questions.
