Is AI Face Swap Safe?

What happens to your photo during a face swap

1. The app resizes your selfie and sends it, encrypted, to a processing server.
2. The AI model finds the face, swaps it into the template and returns the finished image.
3. The result is downloaded to your phone and saved in History, which lives on your device.
4. The copy on the server is deleted within 7 days.

Questions to ask any face swap app

• How many days are uploaded photos kept?
• Are photos used to train AI models, and can I opt out?
• Is face data shared with advertisers or data brokers?
• Can I delete my results and ask for my data to be deleted?

If the privacy policy doesn't answer these, treat that as an answer.

Face Swap AI's privacy policy in plain English

• Photos sent for processing are stored only as long as needed and deleted within 7 days.
• Photos aren't used to train AI models without your explicit consent.
• Face data isn't sold or shared with advertisers or data brokers.
• Payments go through Apple or Google. The app never sees your card details.
• You can ask for access to or deletion of your data at any time.

Consent and likeness: the rules that matter

• Use your own face, or faces of people who have said yes.
• Don't use public figures or strangers to make photos that could fool someone.
• Never use photos of children other than your own family, and never for anything a child would be embarrassed by later.
• Never create sexual or humiliating images of anyone. In many countries this is a crime.

The app's templates show AI-generated people, which keeps you clear of other people's likeness when you use them.

Is a face swap a deepfake?

Technically, a face-swapped photo uses similar techniques to a deepfake. What makes something harmful is how it's used: a birthday card with your face on a red carpet is fine, a fake photo meant to deceive or embarrass someone isn't.

If you share a swapped photo publicly, say it's an AI edit. It costs nothing and avoids confusion.
