Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 1st of July 2025
Welcome to Patch: AI Photo Editor, an app developed by OCTO Solutions. Your privacy is important to us, and this Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information.
1. Information We Collect
Patch collects the following types of information when you use the app:
- Personal Information: This may include your name, email address, or phone number provided during account creation.
- Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the app, such as features used, images edited, and app performance data.
- Automatically Collected Information: Includes device type, operating system, IP address, and log data.
- Image Data: The images you upload and edit in the app. These are processed on US servers and may be stored anonymously to help improve our AI models and services.
Image and Face Data Handling
When using Patch, users may upload images containing faces. We do not collect, extract, or retain any biometric data or facial recognition identifiers. Uploaded images are temporarily and anonymously stored on secure AWS servers strictly during your active editing session. These images are processed using AI through a third-party service provider, Fal.AI, specifically via the Flux.1 Kontext model. All uploaded image data, including any incidental face data, is permanently deleted immediately upon completion of the editing session. We do not share this data with any third parties beyond the AI processing through Fal.AI described herein.
2. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used for the following purposes:
- To provide and enhance the functionality of the app.
- To process and edit your images using AI models.
- To store image data anonymously for training and improving our AI systems.
- To ensure the security and proper operation of the app.
- To respond to user inquiries and support requests.
3. Data Storage and Security
We store your data securely on servers located in the United States. We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. Only authorized personnel have access to this data.
4. Third-Party Services
Patch uses Fal.AI, a US-based AI inference provider, to process your images. By using Patch, you acknowledge that your images may be processed by Fal.AI’s infrastructure. We encourage you to review Fal.AI’s privacy policy for more information on how they handle data.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
Images are deleted from our servers after the user finishes their editing session. You can request deletion of your personal data at any time. Upon deletion, your personal information and associated data will be removed from our active systems, though some residual data may persist in backups for a limited period.

You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Request the deletion or correction of your personal data.
- Withdraw consent for data processing at any time.
