How Secure is personal data in Appli and how does Appli Security respect my privacy? 

Appli stores user’s face data on the device’s internal storage in an encrypted format and does not transfer or store it on the Cloud. No one can get the facial stored data from the Appli’s internal storage and even if someone succeeded to get it, they cannot recover the original facial data from it because of encryption. 

When using Appli, user’s face image thumbnail is transferred to IBM Cloud server as a log and it can be read on the phone by only the authorized and registered user. Furthermore, the resolution of face image thumbnail that is transferred as a log is very small, so it cannot be used as personal information.

Bluetooth connection is established through two ways & two-layer encryption, so an unauthorized phone or device cannot be connected to Appli. Authorized devices can only issue commands such as unlock and lock so the user’s privacy data is protected thoroughly.

During the development process of Appli, we have consulted thoroughly with lawyers in the field of user’s privacy and now we can assure that we never collect or leak out any privacy data.

We will do our best to assure customers that our products are safe.
