Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information the Revive app (“Revive”, “the app”) uses, including photos and face data, why it is used, who processes it, how long it is kept, and how you can withdraw your consent or delete it. Revive is published by Be Shift (“we”, “us”). Questions: contact@finradar.space.

1. Photos you choose

What: the photo you select (for some styles, a second photo you select), and the text instruction (“prompt”) of the style you picked.

When: only when you tap to create a video or apply a photo tool (Restore, Colorize, Enhance, Recreate), and only after you have agreed to AI photo processing in the app.

Why: solely to produce the video or edited photo you asked for. The result is returned to the app and saved on your device.

Picking a photo uses Apple’s system photo picker, which gives the app only the photo you choose. Full access to your photo library is optional (see section 3.2).

2. Photo library access (optional)

If you allow it, Revive looks through your photo library on your device to suggest photos of people that would animate well, and to remind you of photos taken on this day in past years. Photos found this way are never uploaded unless you choose one and ask Revive to create something with it.

3. Face data

3.1 What face data the app uses

Revive uses on-device face detection (Google ML Kit, running entirely on your iPhone or iPad, without sending anything to Google) to read the following from a photo:

• whether the photo contains a face, and the face’s position and size in the picture;
• the approximate position of the eyes and nose (to tell whether the face is clear and turned towards the camera);
• the angle of the head; and
• an estimate of whether the person is smiling.

Revive does not create face templates, faceprints or any biometric identifier, and does not recognise, identify or match people across photos.

3.2 How face data is used

• to tell you whether the photo you picked is likely to animate well;
• if you allowed photo library access: to choose which of your photos to suggest on the Home screen and in “on this day” reminders.

Face data is not used for advertising, marketing, profiling, tracking, identification or any other purpose.

3.3 Storage, retention and sharing of face data

Face data is computed in your device’s memory and discarded as soon as the check is done. It is never written to storage, never uploaded to us, and never shared with any third party, including our AI providers. To avoid scanning your library again, the app keeps on your device only the identifiers of the photos it suggested (not any face data); this list is refreshed every 24 hours and is removed when you delete the app.

3.4 Deleting face data and revoking consent

Because face data is never stored, there is nothing to delete beyond the on-device list of suggested photo identifiers. You can stop all face analysis of your library at any time by turning off photo access in iOS Settings › Revive › Photos; deleting the app removes the list of suggestions. Face checks on a photo you pick yourself happen only while you use that photo.

Note that the photo you choose to animate naturally shows a face. That photo is shared with an AI provider only as described in section 4, when you ask for a video or edit.

4. AI service providers

To create your video or edited photo, the app sends the photo you chose and the style’s text instruction directly to one of these providers. No name, email address, account or contact details are sent with it.

Separately, a style’s text prompt (never your photo) may be sent to OpenRouter to adapt the prompt to your photo.

Equal protection. We share your photo only with providers that are bound by their terms to use it solely to provide the service to us, to keep it secure, not to use it to train AI models, and to delete it within the periods above. We require that any provider receiving your photo protects it with the same or equal protection as described in this policy. If a provider’s terms change so that this is no longer true, we will stop sending photos to it.

Processing may take place outside your country of residence (for example in Singapore). Transfers are protected by encryption in transit (HTTPS).

5. Retention and deletion

• Your photos: not stored by us. Providers keep them only as stated in section 4.
• Your videos and edited photos: saved only on your device. Delete them at any time in My Creations, or delete the app to remove them all (unless you saved them to your photo library).
• Face data: never stored (section 3.3).
• Coins and purchases: your coin balance is kept in your device’s secure keychain (synchronised through your iCloud Keychain if enabled) so it survives reinstalling.

6. Your consent and how to withdraw it

Before the first photo is sent to an AI provider, the app explains what will be sent and to whom, and asks for your permission. Nothing is sent if you decline. You can withdraw your consent at any time in the app under Settings › AI photo processing; after that, no photo is sent until you agree again. Withdrawing consent does not affect videos already created, which stay on your device until you delete them.

7. Other information we process

• Purchases are processed by Apple. We receive the status of your purchases and subscriptions (from Apple and through our subscription service provider, Superwall), never your payment details.
• App analytics: we use Firebase Analytics (Google) to understand how the app is used — for example which screens are opened, which buttons are tapped and errors — with an anonymous app-instance identifier. No photos, videos or face data are included.
• Subscription service: Superwall receives an anonymous user identifier, subscription status and your answers to the onboarding question (for example who you would like to bring back), to show the right plans.
• Tracking: the advertising identifier is used only if you allow tracking when iOS asks you, to measure our marketing. You can change this in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
• Notifications (reminders, including one the day before a free trial ends) are scheduled locally on your device.

We do not sell personal data and do not share it for third-party advertising.

8. Your choices and rights

You can withdraw consent for AI photo processing (section 6), turn off photo access, notifications or tracking in iOS Settings, and delete your creations at any time. You may also contact us to ask what data we hold about you or to request its deletion; we do not hold your photos, videos or face data.

9. Children

Revive is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version; important changes will also be shown in the app.
