Nini

Welcome to Nini's Privacy Policy. At Nini ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company"), we are deeply committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of any information associated with your use of our mobile application ("App"). This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of information when you use Nini, the magical weather effects photo editor.

We believe that privacy is a fundamental right, and we have designed Nini with this principle at its foundation. Unlike many applications, Nini does not require you to create an account, provide personal information, or log in to access our features. Your creative journey with weather effects remains entirely private and under your control.

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of Nini and governs our data practices in connection with the App. By downloading, installing, or using Nini, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with our privacy practices, please do not use the App.

We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and contact us if you have any questions. Your trust is essential to us, and we are committed to maintaining transparency about our data practices.

1.2 Photos and Media

When you use Nini to add weather effects to your photos, the images you select from your device's photo library are processed entirely on your device.

Your original images and the weather-enhanced creations you generate remain exclusively on your device under your complete control.

3.4 Managing Permissions

You can manage or revoke any permissions granted to Nini at any time through your device's settings. Please note that revoking certain permissions may limit the functionality of the App. For example, without photo library access, you will not be able to import images for editing.
