The Russian-made app is backed by a far-reaching legal document. As are many other apps you use on a daily basis.
If you, like a shockingly large number of celebrities, recently downloaded FaceApp to predict what you’ll look like in old age, you may be unsettled to learn what you agreed to in the app’s terms and conditions.
The company has also been accused of uploading users’ entire photo libraries to its own servers, but security researchers say the current version of the app doesn’t exhibit that behavior. FaceApp told HuffPost it performs edits in the cloud to boost performance and cut down on traffic, and that most photos are deleted 48 hours after they’re uploaded.
Despite forcing users to agree to an imposing and far-reaching set of terms and conditions, Goncharov said that’s not the case with FaceApp.1. FaceApp performs most of the photo processing in the cloud. We only upload a photo selected by a user for editing. We never transfer any other images from the phone to the cloud.
