Privacy Policy

SmartBlur is an on-premise desktop application developed by Hasantavision ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. Because SmartBlur runs entirely on your local machine, the vast majority of your data never leaves your device.

2.1 Data you provide

• License key — sent to our server once to activate your software and periodically to verify license status.
• Payment information — processed by PayPal; we never see or store your credit card or bank details. We retain only the PayPal order ID and transaction timestamp.
• Feedback and support communications — if you submit feedback or contact us, we store the message, contact details, app context, and any license key supplied by the app so we can respond and investigate.
• Detection feedback images — only when you use Report detection issue and actively consent, SmartBlur uploads the original image you selected to smartblur.app. We decode and re-encode it to remove embedded metadata before storage, use it to review the report and improve SmartBlur detection, and delete it within 12 months.

2.2 Data collected automatically

• License check requests — IP address and license key are logged transiently for fraud prevention and rate limiting. These logs are deleted after 30 days.
• Website analytics — we may use privacy-respecting analytics on smartblur.app (no third-party cookies, no cross-site tracking).

2.3 Data we do NOT collect

• Photos, videos, or other media processed in SmartBlur’s normal local workflows. The only exception is an original image you explicitly submit through Report detection issue.
• Blurring results, detection metadata, or face/body coordinates.
• Usage patterns inside the desktop application beyond anonymous crash reports (if you opt in).

• To issue and verify software licenses.
• To process payments and handle refunds.
• To provide technical support.
• To review consented detection reports and improve SmartBlur detection.
• To prevent fraud and abuse of the licensing system.
• To improve our website (aggregated, anonymous analytics only).

Detection feedback images are handled separately from text feedback and are not sent to DeepSeek or Brevo.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. We share data only with:

• PayPal — to process your payment, subject to PayPal’s Privacy Policy.
• DeepSeek — when you provide an email address for an automatic feedback reply, we send your feedback text after best-effort redaction, app version, license category, and plan type to DeepSeek’s API to draft the reply. We do not send the structured email-address or license-key fields. Do not include sensitive personal data in free-form feedback. See DeepSeek’s Privacy Policy.
• Brevo — to deliver the automatic feedback email, we send the recipient email address, generated reply, and displayed app context to Brevo. See Brevo’s Privacy Policy.
• Law enforcement — if required by applicable law or valid legal process.

License, transaction, and detection-feedback data is stored on our infrastructure in Singapore. Detection feedback images are retained for no more than 12 months. Text feedback handled by DeepSeek or Brevo may be processed in other jurisdictions under their respective policies. We use TLS encryption in transit and limit access to personal data to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Object to processing or request data portability.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below. We will respond within 30 days.

SmartBlur is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

If you use SmartBlur from outside Singapore, data you explicitly submit to SmartBlur network services may be transferred to and processed in Singapore and by the service providers identified above.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of SmartBlur after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
