I read their question as: "Are the images I uploaded private? Will they be used to train ML systems or sold to a 3rd party without my knowledge?".

- We will let you know and get your permission if we choose to train the ML system and improve the efficiency.

- At the moment its about: rectifying your model from the backend if the ML system failed to plot the segmentation properly.

- The Selfie photo alone is shared with the AvatarSDK API for head generation.

- I think going the Privacy policy or t&Cs is a huge pain for a lot of users. So I'm planning to create a bulletin and showcase at the start of creating the model so that the users are well informed :)

Your comment is the only one without a reply from the creator. Wonder why, makes me a bit suspicious.
:)

Somehow missed it. We work on IST (Indian Standard Timing) & we were awake till 5:30 in the morning. Apologies that I somehow missed to reply the above comment. Privacy is something which is very important to us as well. We are and we will be taking a lot measures to make sure that we don't mismanage a user's data in anyway.

Good to hear, thanks for the explanation :) I thought that it could be about timezones, but after scrolling through the comment section twice I noticed that this privacy-related question was the only unanswered one. Should've given you the benefit of the doubt, sorry for the light accusation.
No no! that's perfectly alright. Thank you so much for pointing it out.
