Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 27, 2026
App: Emojify Image
Contact: nanisatho.web@gmail.com


1. Who We Are

Emojify Image is an iOS application developed and operated as an independent app. Questions about this policy can be sent to nanisatho.web@gmail.com.


2. What Data We Collect and Why

We collect only what is necessary to provide the core feature — generating emoji suggestions from your photo.

2.1 Data Sent Per Generation Request

Each time you tap "Emojify" the following is transmitted to our backend (Google Cloud Functions, region us-central1) and forwarded to Google's Gemini AI model for analysis:

DataPurpose
Your photo (compressed JPEG, max 512 × 512 px)The AI analyses the image content to suggest relevant emojis
Photo location (GPS coordinates and place name)Provides geographic context to improve emoji relevance
Photo date & timeProvides temporal context (season, time of day)
Device modelHelps calibrate response formatting
Device language (Locale.preferredLanguages)Ensures emoji suggestions are culturally appropriate
iOS version (UIDevice.current.systemVersion)Sent for compatibility telemetry

None of this data is stored on our servers after the analysis is complete.
The AI result (a list of emoji suggestions) is returned to your device and, if you choose to save it, stored locally in your app's private sandbox only.

2.2 Anonymous User Identifier

Firebase Authentication creates a random anonymous user ID (UUID) on first launch. This ID is sent with every request to Firebase Cloud Functions and Firebase App Check solely to:

  • Enforce per-user rate limits and security rules
  • Verify requests originate from a legitimate app build

This ID is not linked to your name, email, Apple ID, or any personally identifying information.

2.3 Device Installation Identifier

The Firebase SDK automatically generates a Firebase Installations ID. This is used internally by Firebase for analytics aggregation and SDK functionality. It is not linked to your personal identity.


3. Data We Do NOT Collect

  • No name, email address, or Apple ID
  • No browsing history or behaviour outside the app
  • No advertising identifiers (IDFA)
  • No financial or payment information
  • No health or biometric data
  • We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to any third party
  • We do not use your data for advertising or tracking

Google Gemini AIEmoji suggestion generationai.google.dev/terms

Your photo and metadata are processed by Google's infrastructure under Google's privacy terms when a generation request is made.


5. Data Storage and Security

  • Emoji results you save are stored locally on your device only inside the app's private Documents directory, protected by iOS Complete File Protection (NSFileProtectionComplete).
  • No generation history is uploaded to our servers.
  • Your anonymous Firebase UID is stored in UserDefaults on your device.

6. Your Rights and Data Deletion

You can delete all locally stored data at any time:

  1. Open the app → Settings tab → Delete All My Data

This action:

  • Deletes your entire local history (images and metadata)
  • Deletes your anonymous Firebase account and UID
  • Resets your consent status (you will see the consent screen again on next launch)

For any other data deletion requests or questions, contact nanisatho.web@gmail.com.

GDPR (EU/UK users): You have the right to access, rectify, erase, and port data we hold about you. Because we do not store personally identifiable data on our servers, the in-app deletion above fulfils these rights in full for most users. Contact us if you need further assistance.

CCPA (California users): We do not sell personal information. You have the right to know what data we collect (see Section 2) and to request deletion (see above).


7. Children's Privacy

This app is not directed at children under 13 (under 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has used this app without parental consent, contact nanisatho.web@gmail.com and we will address the concern promptly.


8. Changes to This Policy

We will update the effective date at the top of this page whenever the policy changes. Continued use of the app after a policy change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
