FaceApp says that it is possible to delete images

In fact, this application of Russian origin does not comply 100% with the current requirements of the general regulation on data protection. This is evidenced by the fact that they reserve the right to use users' personal information and the photos they make for commercial purposes. Or that you request a "perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, fully paid and transferable license" to "use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works, distribute, perform in public and display" the results obtained.

FaceApp – which incorporates a group of companies known as the Wireless Lab – has begun to argue and appease minds. The reporter defended himself by saying that the downloaded photos were removed from their servers at 48 hours and explained the necessary steps for the same users to delete their information.

To do this, simply access "configuration" and press "support". Then go to "report an error" and in the topic that appears, indicate "confidentiality". If these steps are followed, ensures FaceApp, all existing information on its servers regarding the user will be eliminated.

Anyway, and even by making the letter as indicated by the application itself, it sends no confirmation message regarding the data that has been or will be deleted. Faced with another wave of criticism, FaceApp admitted that it was messy and said working "to improve the quality of this service".

"Premium", the real job

FaceApp requests access to the photo gallery and obtains, in complete confidentiality, the guarantee of the user. But the case is that this user subscribes to "premium", pays and thus has a wide range of retouching filters.
