b. Mexico AR
In our 'Mexico AR' mobile application, we employ augmented reality (AR) technology to enhance the user experience. This includes the use of Apple's TrueDepth API, a technology integral to certain iOS devices. Below are key details regarding the use of this technology:
Understanding the TrueDepth API: The TrueDepth API, developed by Apple, enables our app to create advanced AR experiences by accurately mapping the geometry of a user’s face in real time. This technology powers facial recognition and AR features, allowing for sophisticated interactions between real-world user facial expressions and digital AR content. It is important to note that the TrueDepth API is a feature available only on certain Apple devices with a TrueDepth front-facing camera.
Non-Collection of Personal or Face Data: Our use of the TrueDepth API in 'Mexico AR' is confined to real-time AR content overlay on the user's face. We do not collect, store, or process any personal data or facial recognition data through this technology. The app's implementation of the TrueDepth API is solely for enhancing the user experience in real time and does not involve any form of data collection, analysis, or storage.
Offline Operation and Data Privacy: 'Mexico AR' operates entirely offline without any internet connectivity. Consequently, it does not send or receive data, thereby ensuring that no user data is transmitted or shared with any third parties. Our commitment to user privacy extends to all features within our applications, ensuring that the use of the TrueDepth API complies with our strict privacy standards.
