The short version: Face Shield does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data.
Your photos are processed entirely on your own device and never leave it. There are no servers, no accounts
and no analytics, so there is nothing for us to see, keep, or share.
What the app does with your data
Photos. Every image you pick is analysed and rewritten in memory on your device.
No photo is uploaded, cached remotely, or read by anyone but your phone.
Photo Library access. The app asks permission to add photos to your library
(iOS “add-only” permission). It cannot read your library behind your back, and it never modifies or
deletes your originals — a masked photo is always created as a new image.
Camera (optional). Only if you choose “Take Photo”. Preview frames are processed in
memory and never saved or transmitted.
Location. Metadata such as GPS coordinates is removed from saved photos.
The app never requests location permission.
Settings. Your unlock state, used-export count, and the faces you chose to remember
are kept in the app’s local preferences on your device only.
What is not collected
No name, email address, phone number, contacts, or address book.
No analytics, no advertising identifiers, no third-party SDKs, no crash reporters.
No face templates or biometric signatures leave the device — face detection runs on-device and the
remembered-faces list stays in local preferences.
No IP-address logging by us, because there is no service of ours to log it on.
Purchases
Subscriptions and the lifetime unlock are sold by Apple through the App Store (StoreKit). Your Apple Account
and purchase history are handled by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy, not ours. The app only reads the
entitlement result on your device to decide which features are unlocked. Cancelling or managing a purchase
happens in iOS Settings → App Store → Subscriptions.
Children
Face Shield is a tool for parents and guardians. Because the app collects no data at all, it collects no data
from children either. Children’s faces are detected on the device for one purpose: protecting them in the photos
you choose to save.
This website
This support and privacy site serves static files only. It sets no cookies, uses no local storage,
loads no third-party scripts or fonts, and runs no analytics. Nothing here identifies you.
Your rights
There is nothing for us to access, correct, export, or delete about you, because we hold nothing —
that also means the rights under GDPR and similar regimes are satisfied by the design of the app itself.
If you would like written confirmation, or you believe this page is inaccurate, email
liangsx.168@gmail.com and you will get a reply from a human:
the developer.
Data deletion
There is no personal data held by us to delete. Deleting the app removes its local preferences from your
device. Masked photos you chose to save live in your own Photo Library, and you can delete them there at any time.
Changes to this policy
Any update will be published at this address with a new effective date below.
