Linka Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 2026.2.5

Linka is an AI-powered virtual pet image creation application developed by RuLinka. The app allows users to upload images and provide imaginative descriptions to generate creative, fictional pet images. This Privacy Policy explains how Linka handles images, text input, and limited technical information.

By using Linka, you agree to the practices described below.


1. Overview of Data Handling

Linka is built as a creative image generation tool, not an identification, biometric, or social platform.
We do not attempt to understand who users are, and we do not build user profiles.

All data processing is limited to completing the image generation task requested by the user.


2. Image Privacy & Face Data

2.1 No Facial Recognition or Biometric Processing

Linka does not engage in any form of facial data processing.

Specifically:

· We do not perform facial recognition

· We do not conduct facial analysis

· We do not extract facial features or biometric identifiers

· We do not perform identity verification

· We do not create, store, or retain facial templates

· We do not share facial or biometric data with any third party

Any faces that may appear in uploaded images are treated as general visual content only and are never analyzed for identity or personal characteristics.


2.2 How Uploaded Images Are Processed

Images uploaded by users are used solely for AI-powered virtual pet image generation.

· Processing focuses on visual transformation based on creative prompts

· No personal identification or recognition is involved

· Images are not reviewed, labeled, or categorized by identity

The AI system treats all images as anonymous visual input.


2.3 Image Storage and Retention

Linka follows a minimal and temporary data handling model:

· Original images and generated images are stored locally on the user’s device, where applicable

· These images are accessible only to the user through the app interface

· Users may delete generated images at any time, and once deleted, the data is permanently removed from the device

Any temporary processing data required to complete image generation (such as intermediate files) is:

· Used only during active processing

· Automatically cleared immediately after processing is completed

· Not retained on servers or reused for any other purpose

No user action is required to remove temporary processing data.


3. Text Prompts and Descriptions

Text descriptions provided by users (for example, creative pet concepts or features) are used only to guide the image generation process.

· Prompts are not stored as user profiles

· Prompts are not associated with personal identity

· Prompts are not reused for unrelated purposes

Once the generation process is completed, prompt-related processing data is discarded.


4. Information We Collect and Why

Linka collects and processes only the following limited categories of information:

4.1 User-Provided Content

· Uploaded images (for image generation only)

· Text descriptions or creative prompts

4.2 Technical and Operational Data

· Device type and operating system version

· App version

· Crash logs and basic performance diagnostics

This information is used strictly to:

· Enable core image generation features

· Maintain app stability and performance

· Identify and fix technical issues

We do not use this data for advertising, tracking, or profiling.


5. Information We Do Not Use for Profiling or Advertising

Linka does not use user data for:

· Behavioral advertising

· Cross-app tracking

· User profiling or preference modeling

· Identity analysis

Linka does not require account registration and does not request personal identifiers such as names, phone numbers, or login credentials.


6. Data Sharing

Linka does not sell, rent, or trade user data.

If third-party services are used to support AI processing or infrastructure, they are:

· Used only to perform tasks on our behalf

· Contractually restricted from using data for independent purposes

· Prohibited from storing or reusing user content

No data is shared for marketing or analytics profiling.


7. Data Retention Policy

· Uploaded images: processed temporarily and not retained beyond the intended use

· Generated images: stored only on the user’s device unless deleted by the user

· Temporary processing data: automatically cleared after completion

· Technical logs: retained only as needed for system stability


8. Children’s Privacy

Linka is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If such data is discovered, it will be removed promptly.


9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect improvements or changes in functionality. Any updates will be made available within the app or through its distribution channel.
