Closer - Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 2026/1/29

This Privacy Policy explains how CloserDev collects, uses, and protects information when you use Closer, an AI photography companion and community-based application.
It is intended to help you understand what data is involved when you interact with AI conversations, upload images, or participate in community publishing features.

By using Closer, you acknowledge that you have reviewed this Privacy Policy and understand how information is handled within the scope described below.


1. Who This Policy Applies To

Closer is available only to users 17 years of age or older.
The service is not designed for children or minors, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 17. If such use is identified, related data may be removed as part of compliance measures.


2. Information You Provide During Use

Depending on how you use Closer, you may choose to provide certain information directly, including:

· Account-related details used to access the service

· Text entered during AI photography conversations

· Images uploaded for personal reference, AI discussion, or community journal entries

· Written captions, notes, or descriptions attached to your content

· Messages or inquiries sent to customer support

You remain responsible for the content you submit and for ensuring that it does not violate applicable laws or third-party rights.


3. AI Conversations and Generated Content

Closer includes AI companions that respond to photography-related prompts.
Text you enter into AI chats is processed in order to generate contextual responses and improve interaction quality. These conversations are not used to identify users and are not shared publicly unless you choose to publish related content within the community section.

AI-generated replies are produced automatically and do not represent human judgment or professional advice.


4. Image Content and Facial Data Handling

Closer processes uploaded images solely to support photography-related AI interactions and community features.

No facial recognition or biometric profiling is performed.
Closer does not collect, analyze, or store facial geometry, biometric identifiers, or identity profiles. The app does not attempt to identify individuals in images or extract personal identity traits.

Images are analyzed only for visual and photographic characteristics relevant to creative discussion or content presentation. Any temporary processing required to generate AI responses or display content is limited to operational use and is not retained beyond what is necessary to provide the feature.

Users maintain control over their uploaded images and may delete them through in-app options where available.


5. Community Publishing and Review Flow

When users submit content for community display, the content enters a review state before becoming publicly visible.
During this stage, content may be processed to ensure it aligns with platform guidelines, safety requirements, and legal standards.

Data involved in this process is used only to manage content visibility and community integrity. Review-related records are retained only as long as necessary for operational and compliance purposes.


6. Automatically Collected Technical Information

To maintain app stability and improve performance, Closer may collect limited technical information such as:

· Device type and operating system version

· App version and feature usage patterns

· General interaction data related to crashes, errors, or performance issues

This information does not directly identify you and is used to enhance reliability, compatibility, and user experience.


7. App Permissions and Device Access

Depending on how you use Closer, the app may request access to certain device functions, including:

· Camera and Photo Library – to upload images for AI interaction or community entries

· Microphone – if voice-based input or features are enabled

· Notifications – to inform you about content status, updates, or responses

· Network Access – required for AI processing and content synchronization

Permissions are requested only when relevant to a feature and can be managed through your device settings.


8. Data Storage and Security Practices

Closer applies reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
While no system can guarantee absolute security, we take appropriate measures to reduce risks associated with data handling.

User content is stored only as needed to support app functionality, community features, and legal obligations.


9. Sharing and Disclosure

Closer does not sell personal data.
Information may be shared only in limited circumstances, such as:

· With service providers supporting app operations under confidentiality obligations

· When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process

· To protect the rights, safety, or integrity of users or the platform

Any sharing is limited to what is necessary for the stated purpose.


10. Data Retention and Deletion

Information is retained only for as long as it is needed to provide the service, support community features, or meet legal requirements.
Users may remove their own content where deletion options are provided. Account-related data may also be deleted upon request, subject to applicable retention obligations.


11. Policy Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the app evolves or as legal requirements change.
Revisions will take effect once published within the app. Continued use of Closer indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
