A small note on how the Realistics Avatars feature works.

Voge uses a Neural Network Model Stable Diffusion that allows users to generate personalized Realistics Avatars (“Avatars”).

1. Users upload 10 to 20 photos and select their gender.
2. Using these data, a copy of the Stable Diffusion model is retrained to personalize the model
3. After the model copy is retrained, it generates the Avatars
4. After the Avatars are generated, the copy of the model, along with uploaded photos, are deleted permanently from our servers
5. We do not use your Personal Data to generally train and/or create our separate artificial intelligence/products.

We do our best to moderate the parameters of the Stable Diffusion model, however, it is still possible that you may encounter content that you may see as inappropriate for you.

We also encourage you to get acquainted with our Terms of Use to understand how we provide services to you.

We care about your privacy. With this in mind, most processing activities occur on your device only. There is, however, one exception to it: when you generate Avatars these functions require sophisticated computing resources to be performed.

• Realistic Avatars. In order to generate Realistic Avatars, you have to upload 10-20 photos to Voge. At this point, your photos are stored on our servers (provided by Amazon Web Services). Then, a copy of the Stable Diffusion model is created to be retrained with your photos to personalize the model and to create your Avatars. Immediately after the successful generation of Avatars, your original photos are deleted from our servers. Your generated Avatars are stored on our servers so that they remain accessible to you in Voge at any time and from any device until you decide to delete them.

You can also always request us to delete your photos or Avatars by contacting us at info@metabrixlab.com

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Privacy Policy:

• We do not use photos, videos, or Avatars to identify any individual user.

Parties with whom we may share your Personal Data.

We may share your Personal Data with businesses that are legally part of the same group of companies that we are part of, including our subsidiaries (“Affiliates”). The Affiliates act as our data processors and may perform data processing on our behalf (e.g., providing technical support or conducting analytics). Such Affiliates are bound by appropriate contractual safeguards in place.

We may also share your Personal Data, and other collected information with third-party organizations such as contractors and service providers that we use to support our business and who are bound by confidentiality and data protection terms (consistent with this Privacy Policy) to keep your Personal Data confidential and use it only based on our instructions (“Service Providers”).

Such Service Providers include:

This may include responding to legal, government, or regulatory requests from jurisdictions where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. We may also access, preserve, and share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to: (i) detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; (ii) protect ourselves, you, and others, including as part of investigations; and (iii) prevent death or imminent bodily harm.

8. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable and appropriate information security safeguards to help keep the collected information secure and to secure it from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your collected information, we cannot guarantee the security of the collected information transmitted to or through Voge or an absolute guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. Any transmission of your collected information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for the circumvention of security measures contained in Voge. Please understand that there is no ideal technology or measure to maintain 100% security. Among others, we utilize the following information security measures:

• Encryption of your Personal Data in transit and in rest.
• All collected information is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.
• Organizational and legal measures. For example, our employees and employees of our subsidiaries have different levels of access to your Personal Data and only those in charge of data management get access to your Personal Data and only for limited purposes required for the operation of Voge. We impose strict liability on such employees for any disclosures, unauthorized accesses, alterations, destructions, and misuse of your Personal Data.
• Conducting periodical data protection impact assessments in order to ensure that the Company fully adheres to the principles of “privacy by design”, “privacy by default” and others. We also commit to undertake a privacy audit in case of the Company’s merger or takeover.

The safety and security of your information also depend on you. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes to the social media services, through which you may share your photos and videos. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any other organization.

Security breaches: If we learn of a security systems breach, we may either post a notice or attempt to notify you by email (if it was provided) and will take reasonable steps to remedy the breach as specified in applicable law and this Privacy Policy. If we learn of a potential Personal Data breach, together with other actions referred to in the Privacy Policy, we will also undertake particular actions to remedy the breach as appropriate under the circumstances, which may include, logging you out from all the devices, resetting a password (sending a temporary password for you to apply) and performing other reasonably necessary activities and actions.

By using this Application, you agree that the Company will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.

9. DATA RETENTION

• Your Personal Data, other than photos, videos, and Avatars. Normally, the retention term would be the term of your account existence. It means that we will retain your Personal Data, other than your photos, videos, or Avatars until you delete your account or request us to delete your data (by contacting us at info@metabrixlab.com). Please note that the deletion of the Voge Application / Website does not imply the deletion of your account and your data.
• Your original photos and videos that you upload for editing are processed on your device only and are not stored with our servers unless you choose to apply Art Styles to your photos. In the case of applying Art Styles, your original photo is stored on our server for 24 hours. We need it to allow you to edit photos more smoothly so that you do not have to re-upload your original photo multiple times to apply different Art Styles. Moreover, such an approach helps you spend less on Internet traffic and makes the processing of Art Styled photos faster.
• The original photos that you upload to generate avatars are deleted immediately after successful Avatars generation. At the same time, your Avatars are stored on our servers (provided by Google Cloud Platform (Ireland and USA) and Amazon Web Services ) to be available to you at any time from any device until you decide to delete them (e.g., within the app or via a request you send us at info@metabrixlab.com).

We may retain your Personal data in connection with your privacy-related requests and communications with us, if any, as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your Personal Data, we may continue to retain and use anonymized data previously collected that can no longer be used for personal identification.
