Epik AI Photo Editor recently gained significant traction for its ability to generate 90s-style graduation photos using Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, amidst its soaring popularity, I have concerns about user privacy and data security due to its information sharing and disclosure practices, as mentioned in the app's privacy policy.
The application employs many third-party service providers to aid in its functionalities, encompassing business analytics, marketing, and other varied services. According to the app's privacy policy, these service providers are granted limited access to user information, including user content, to accomplish tasks on Epik AI's behalf. However, their access to sensitive user information has sparked concerns over potential misuse or unauthorized disclosure of personal data.
In the event of business transfers and affiliations, user information may be shared with companies or organizations connected or affiliated with SNOW, the parent company of Epik AI. The data can also be transferred to an affiliate, a subsidiary, or a third party in cases such as reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other dispositions of all or any portion of SNOW's business, assets, or stock, even during bankruptcy or similar proceedings.
The considerable sharing and disclosing practices by Epik Ai have ignited debates on user privacy, data security, and the ethical implications of information sharing in the modern digital age. The rising popularity of such applications calls for a comprehensive assessment and a reevaluation of legal frameworks to safeguard user interests and protect them from unwarranted intrusions and exploitations of their personal information.
The extent of information collected by Epik AI makes me think about the potential misuse or unauthorized access to sensitive user data. Metadata and face recognition, which include facial marks and analysis results of facial features, can provide detailed insights into users’ identities and preferences. Although Epik AI states that it does not use such information to identify a specific person, the extent of collected data can potentially be exploited.
Epik AI assures users that it permanently deletes facial image data within three years of the last interaction or sooner if the initial purpose for collection no longer exists. While this offers some solace, users must understand the ramifications of such extensive data collection.
