Last Updated: August 13, 2025
Your privacy is at the core of everything we do at Recap. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices you have concerning your data.
1. Introduction This policy applies to your use of the Recap mobile application (the “Service”). By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information We Collect
a) Information You Provide Directly:
● Account Information: When you register, you provide us with information such as your name, email address, and password.
● Profile Information: You may choose to add more information to your profile, such as a profile picture and a bio.
● User Content: We collect the content you create, including photos, videos, text, captions, and comments within Recaps.
● Communications: We collect information when you contact us for support or provide feedback.
b) Face Verification Data: To create a trusted and safe community, we require face verification during registration.
● What We Collect: We use your device’s camera to capture a scan of your facial geometry.
● How We Use It: This scan is converted into a secure, encrypted biometric template. We use this template only for the purpose of verifying your identity and ensuring you do not create duplicate or fake accounts.
● How We Store It: We do not store the original face scan. We only store the secure template. This template cannot be reverse-engineered to reconstruct your face.
● Sharing: We do not share your face verification data or biometric template with any third-party advertisers or data brokers. It is used exclusively for the security and integrity of the Recap platform.
c) Information We Collect Automatically:
● Usage Data: We collect information about how you use the Service, such as the features you use, the Recaps you view, and the time and duration of your activities.
● Device Information: We collect information about your device, such as its operating system, device identifiers, and IP address.

● With Other Recap Users: Your profile information and the User Content you choose to share in a Recap will be visible to other users as directed by you and your privacy settings.
● With Service Providers: We may share information with third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting (e.g., AWS), data analytics, and customer support. They are obligated to protect your data and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
● For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request.
5. Data Storage and Security We use commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information from loss, theft, and unauthorized access.
