Privacy Policy

Olden: AI Photo Restoration (“Olden,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a mobile application operated by Inovetix Inc. Olden provides AI-powered tools for restoring, enhancing, colorizing, cleaning, and creatively transforming photographs.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Olden processes, why it is processed, when information is shared with service providers, how photographs are handled, and the choices available to users, including rights available under United States privacy laws.

Summary: To use Olden's AI features, the photo you select is sent to a third-party AI provider, Nero AI. Olden asks for your permission before it does this for the first time, and you can withdraw that permission at any time. See Section 5.

1. Company and Contact Information

Olden is operated by Inovetix Inc.

For questions about this Privacy Policy, privacy requests, or concerns about the handling of your information, please contact:

Inovetix Inc.

Email: privacy@inovetix.com

Mailing address: 8 The Green, Ste A, Dover, DE 19901, United States

2. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the Olden mobile application, available for iOS through the Apple App Store and for Android through Google Play.

It does not apply to the Inovetix website or other Inovetix products and services, which are governed by the Inovetix Privacy Policy available at https://inovetix.com/privacy. It also does not apply to third-party websites, applications, or services that Olden links to or relies upon; those services are governed by their own privacy policies.

3. Information You Provide to Olden

Olden is designed to process photographs selected by you. Depending on the features you use, you may provide:

• Photographs selected from your device’s photo gallery;
• Photographs captured using your device camera, where camera functionality is offered;
• Images submitted for AI processing, which are sent to our third-party AI provider, Nero AI, after you give permission (see Section 5);
• Information you voluntarily provide when contacting support; and
• Information related to purchases or subscriptions made through the Apple App Store or Google Play, where required to provide paid functionality.

Olden does not require you to create an account or provide personal information merely to select and process a photograph unless a particular feature or service specifically requires it.

4. Photo and Image Processing

The core functionality of Olden involves processing user-selected images.

Olden currently provides features including:

• Memory Fusion;
• Background Removal;
• Retro Effects;
• Fix Old Photo;
• Enhancer;
• Denoise;
• Colorize.

For the AI-powered processing features, the photograph selected by you is transmitted over the internet to our third-party AI image-processing provider, Nero AI, so that the requested operation can be performed and the resulting image can be returned to your device. This happens only after you have given permission as described in Section 5.

The image is used to provide the feature you requested. We do not need access to your entire photo library merely because you use Olden. The App requests access to photos or the camera only when that access is relevant to a feature you choose to use.

5. Third-Party AI Processing (Nero AI) and Your Permission

5.1 What data is sent

When you use an AI-powered feature, Olden sends the following to Nero AI:

• The photograph(s) you selected or captured for that feature. Photographs may contain personal information, including images of people’s faces, and any information visible in the image.
• Technical information needed to complete the request, such as the selected feature and request parameters. Because the photograph is sent over the internet, your IP address and the time of the request are also visible to Nero AI as part of the network connection.

Olden does not send your name, email address, contacts, location, or other photos in your library to Nero AI.

5.2 Who the data is sent to

Photographs are sent to Nero AI, a third-party technology provider that performs AI image processing for Olden. Nero AI processes the image on its servers, which may be located outside your country, including in the United States. Nero AI’s handling of data is also governed by its own privacy policy, available at https://www.nero.com/eng/corp-legal/privacy.php?vlang=en.

Nero AI acts as a service provider for Olden. Your photograph is not sent to Nero AI simply because Olden is installed; transmission occurs only when you choose a feature that requires remote AI processing.

5.3 Why the data is sent

Photographs are sent to Nero AI solely to perform the image operation you requested (for example, restoring, colorizing, enhancing, denoising, or removing the background) and to return the result to you. They are not used for advertising, profiling, or any unrelated purpose.

5.4 Your permission

Before Olden sends a photograph to Nero AI for the first time, the App shows a notice that explains what data will be sent and that it will be sent to Nero AI, and asks you to choose Allow or Don’t Allow.

• If you choose Allow, Olden will send the photographs you select for AI features to Nero AI, as described in this Section.
• If you choose Don’t Allow, no photograph is sent to Nero AI, and AI-powered features that require Nero AI processing will not be available.
• You can withdraw your permission at any time in the App under Settings → AI Processing Consent, or by contacting privacy@inovetix.com. After you withdraw permission, Olden will stop sending photographs to Nero AI. Withdrawing permission does not affect photographs that were already processed while permission was in place.

5.5 Protection of your data by Nero AI

We use Nero AI only to provide the requested functionality. Nero AI states that images submitted through its API are not used to train its artificial intelligence or machine learning models, and that uploaded files and generated results are automatically deleted within 24 hours (see Section 8). We do not authorize Nero AI to use Olden user photographs for purposes unrelated to providing the requested service. Nero AI’s own privacy policy also applies to its handling of data.

6. AI Model Training

We do not use your photographs to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models. Images submitted through Olden for AI-powered processing are used solely to provide the requested image-processing functionality.

Our image-processing provider, Nero AI, states that images submitted through its API are not used to train its artificial intelligence or machine learning models.

We do not sell your photographs or use them for advertising or unrelated commercial purposes.

7. What Happens to Your Photo

When you select an image for a feature requiring remote processing and you have given permission under Section 5, Olden transmits the image to Nero AI.

The general processing flow is:

• You select or capture a photograph.
• Olden asks for your permission to send it to Nero AI (the first time, and whenever permission has been withdrawn).
• If you allow it, Olden sends the selected image to Nero AI.
• Nero AI processes the image according to the operation you selected.
• The processed result is returned to Olden.
• Olden makes the result available to you.

Olden does not use your photographs to create a personal identity profile, identify you, or build a database of people appearing in photographs. We do not sell your photographs or other personal information, and we do not share them for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

8. Retention of Submitted Images

Olden is designed to minimize retention of user-submitted photographs. Images may be temporarily processed or cached by Olden or its processing infrastructure when necessary to complete an image-processing request, troubleshoot an operation, maintain security, or deliver the requested result.

We do not retain submitted photographs longer than reasonably necessary for the relevant service operation.

Images transmitted to Nero AI for processing are temporarily stored by Nero AI only to the extent technically required to provide its services and are generally retained for no longer than 24 hours, after which they are deleted from Nero AI’s processing infrastructure. Nero AI states that uploaded files and generated results are automatically deleted within 24 hours.

We do not use submitted photographs for advertising purposes.

9. Facial Analysis and Biometric Information

Some AI image-processing features in Olden may process images containing faces or facial features when necessary to provide requested restoration, enhancement, or other image-processing functionality.

Olden does not use facial processing to identify individuals, authenticate identities, create facial-recognition profiles, track individuals, or build a facial-recognition database.

Where facial features are analyzed as part of an image-processing operation, such processing is performed solely to provide the requested functionality. Olden does not intentionally collect or retain facial recognition profiles, faceprints, or facial-geometry templates for the purpose of identifying individuals.

Images containing faces are sent to our third-party image-processing provider, Nero AI, only after you give permission as described in Section 5, and may be processed using its facial-image processing capabilities where required by the selected feature. Nero AI’s API documentation confirms that certain services can perform facial restoration and facial detection. Nero AI states that content or processed content is only temporarily stored to the extent technically required to provide its services, generally for no more than 24 hours.

We do not use facial information obtained through the App for advertising, tracking, or unrelated commercial purposes.

10. Photo Library and Camera Permissions

Olden may request access to your photo library when you choose to import a photograph. If a camera-based feature is available, Olden may request camera access when you choose to capture an image.

On iOS, you can grant Olden access to selected photos only, rather than your full library. On Android, Olden uses the system photo picker where available, which allows you to share individual photos without granting access to your full photo library.

These permissions are used to provide the corresponding functionality. Olden does not require unrestricted access to your entire photo library to perform an image-processing request.

You can manage or revoke photo and camera permissions through your device settings. If you deny a permission, the feature requiring that permission may not be available.

Note that granting Olden access to a photo is separate from your permission to send that photo to Nero AI for processing, which is requested separately as described in Section 5.

11. Technical and Diagnostic Information

To operate reliably, Olden or its supporting services may process limited technical information, such as:

• Device model and operating system version;
• Olden app version;
• App configuration information;
• IP address or other network information;
• Date and time of requests;
• Processing status or error information;
• Crash reports and diagnostic information; and
• Technical identifiers used by supporting services.

This information may be used to maintain security, diagnose failures, prevent abuse, monitor service reliability, and improve Olden.

12. Analytics and Product Improvement

Olden does not include third-party analytics or advertising SDKs, such as Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, RevenueCat, or similar analytics services.

Olden uses Apple’s StoreKit framework to process and manage in-app purchases and subscriptions. StoreKit provides Apple-managed transaction and subscription information necessary to complete purchases, verify entitlements, and provide access to purchased services.

We do not use StoreKit as a third-party analytics service, and Olden does not independently use purchase or subscription information to create advertising profiles or track users across other apps or websites.

Olden does not use photographs submitted for restoration, enhancement, colorization, denoising, or other image-processing features to create advertising profiles or for advertising purposes.

Where Apple provides developers with aggregated App Analytics or related information about app performance or usage, such information is provided and controlled by Apple under Apple’s applicable privacy practices.

13. Purchases and Subscriptions

Olden may offer subscriptions, credit-based features, or other paid functionality.

Payments for purchases made through the App are processed by the Apple App Store. Olden does not receive or store your complete payment card or other payment instrument details through Apple’s standard in-app purchase process.

We may receive limited transaction and purchase information necessary to verify purchases, restore transactions, determine your subscription or purchase entitlements, provide purchased credits or features, prevent fraud or misuse, and maintain necessary transaction records.

Olden uses Apple’s StoreKit framework to process in-app purchases and subscriptions and to determine the purchase entitlements associated with your Apple account.

Olden does not use a third-party subscription-management service such as RevenueCat. We do not use purchase or subscription information for advertising purposes or to create advertising profiles.

14. Third-Party Service Providers

Olden may rely on third-party providers to operate specific technical functions.

These may include AI image processing, cloud infrastructure, analytics, crash diagnostics, payment or subscription services, security, and other technical services.

Currently, Nero AI is used as an external AI image-processing provider for applicable Olden features, and receives your photographs only after you give permission as described in Section 5.

Third-party providers may receive information only when necessary to perform the service for which they are engaged. We do not authorize providers to use Olden user information for purposes unrelated to the services they provide to us, subject to their own legal and contractual obligations.

15. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information or user photographs, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

Information may be shared with service providers when necessary to operate Olden, including the transmission of selected photographs to Nero AI for features that require Nero AI processing, after you have given permission under Section 5.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law or a valid legal request;
• Protect the security and integrity of Olden;
• Prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized use;
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of users, Inovetix Inc., or others; or
• Support a corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of relevant assets, subject to applicable law.

16. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information handled through Olden against unauthorized access, alteration, misuse, disclosure, or destruction. Where photographs are transmitted for remote processing, transport-layer encryption (HTTPS/TLS) is used.

No internet connection, API, cloud service, or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security. Accordingly, we cannot promise that information will always be completely secure.

17. International Processing

Because Olden may use third-party infrastructure located in different countries, photographs and technical information may be processed outside your country of residence, including in the United States.

Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers and require service providers to handle information in accordance with applicable contractual and legal requirements.

18. Children's Privacy

Olden is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at privacy@inovetix.com.

19. Your Privacy Rights (General)

Depending on your country or region, applicable law may give you rights concerning your personal information. These may include, where applicable:

• Accessing personal information;
• Requesting correction of inaccurate information;
• Requesting deletion;
• Restricting or objecting to certain processing;
• Requesting data portability; and
• Withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent.

You can withdraw your permission for Olden to send photographs to Nero AI at any time in the App under Settings → AI Processing Consent, or by contacting privacy@inovetix.com.

To make a privacy request, contact Inovetix Inc. at privacy@inovetix.com. We may need to verify the request before fulfilling it. Certain information may need to be retained when required by law or reasonably necessary for security, accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal claims.

20. US State Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California or another US state with a comprehensive privacy law (including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, and Oregon), you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information, subject to the conditions and exceptions of the applicable law:

• The right to know and access the personal information we collect, use, and disclose;
• The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information;
• The right to request deletion of your personal information;
• The right to opt out of the sale of personal information, the sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (note: we do not sell or share personal information as defined under these laws, and we do not engage in such profiling);
• The right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information (we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require an opt-out under the California Privacy Rights Act); and
• The right not to be discriminated against or retaliated against for exercising any of these rights.

For purposes of these laws, the categories of personal information Olden collects are: photographs and images you choose to submit for processing (which are disclosed to our service provider Nero AI for the business purpose of providing the requested image-processing feature); identifiers and device information (such as IP address, device model, and technical identifiers used by supporting services); and commercial information (purchase and subscription records).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@inovetix.com. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf where the law permits; we may require the agent to demonstrate authorization and may require you to verify your identity directly.

Olden does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals, as the App is not a website. Where applicable law requires recognition of opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control, we honor them; because we do not sell or share personal information, no opt-out is required to prevent such activity.

21. Your Control Over Permissions

You can manage Olden’s access to device resources through your operating-system settings. Depending on your device and operating-system version, you may be able to control access to:

• Photos;
• Camera.

Olden respects the permissions granted through the operating system. Restricting a permission may prevent the related feature from operating normally.

You can also manage whether Olden may send your photographs to Nero AI for AI processing at any time in the App under Settings → AI Processing Consent. If you turn this off, Olden will not send photographs to Nero AI, and AI-powered features that require it will not be available.

22. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Olden may change its features, technologies, service providers, or data practices over time. We may therefore update this Privacy Policy when appropriate.

When material changes are made, we will update the Effective Date and may provide additional notice through the App or another appropriate channel. If we add a new third-party AI provider or change what data is sent to one, we will ask for your permission again before sending any photographs to it. The latest version of this Privacy Policy will be available at https://inovetix.com/olden/privacy and will govern your use of Olden after it becomes effective.
