| Personal Data | Purpose of Use | Retention Period |
|---|---|---|
| Picture | Vision Kit capability APIs: Compared with Core Vision Kit, Vision Kit provides tailored capabilities for specific scenarios, offering consistent interactions for users and control APIs for developers. Images are required for processing by Vision Kit. Here are the details: AI image recognition APIs: Developers provide images while users perform operations such as long press and hold. Vision Kit helps developers achieve the functions of subject segmentation, text extraction, and object recognition from images in apps. Subject segmentation includes basic functions such as dragging, copying, and sharing. Segmentation result data can be returned to developers for service expansion, such as on-site reverse image search. Text extraction includes basic functions such as copying, sharing, selecting all, and translating extracted text, as well as recognizing entities such as phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, URLs, and times in the text. It also supports shortcut operations such as making calls, creating emails, navigation, opening websites, and creating calendar events based on the entities. Extracted text can be returned to developers for service expansion, such as on-site search. Object recognition includes identifying objects such as animals, plants, and buildings on images and marking the objects with icons. Users can tap the icons to obtain detailed encyclopedia knowledge related to the objects. Card recognition APIs: used to read images or take photos of cards to be recognized. Document scanning APIs: used to read images or take photos of documents to be scanned. | Not retained |
| Video | Vision Kit capability APIs: Compared with Core Vision Kit, Vision Kit provides tailored capabilities for specific scenarios, offering consistent interactions for users and control APIs for developers. Videos are required for processing by Vision Kit. Liveness detection APIs: During interactive liveness detection, users need to perform specific actions to verify whether a face is of a real person or is from a face attack. | Not retained |
| Sensor information (light sensors) | Vision Kit capability APIs: Document scanning APIs: A light sensor is used to enable the flashlight in low light conditions, providing users with clearer document images. The above personal information is used on devices. Card recognition APIs: A light sensor is used to enable the flashlight in low light conditions, providing users with clearer card images. The above personal information is used on devices. | Not retained |
| Device information (device models) | Liveness detection APIs: During the use of the interactive liveness detection function, device models are collected for function optimization. | Not retained |
| Screen information | Liveness detection APIs: During the use of the interactive liveness detection function, the information is used to optimize and adapt related UIs for better user experience. | Not retained |
User data is not retained on the cloud. The data controller needs to provide related data subject rights and explanation for end users.
We require you to inform users of how we will process their personal data in your privacy policy and obtain users' consent or other legal bases before you access and use Vision Kit.
