I TOLD YOU MOM, ITS NOT A FAZE

Not A Faze, the only app that uses AI to bring out your true goth dark side selfies. You can now show your parents this really was not just a phase.

Not A Faze, the innovative new app utilizing AI technology to transform selfies into various GOTH-inspired looks, announces its launch in February of 2024. Developed with a custom AI engine, the app manipulates users' surroundings, hair, makeup, clothing, and overall appearance to evoke styles ranging from 90's mall goth to 80’s goth and black metal.

The concept for Not A Faze originated as a passion project in 2023, with production and design commencing in November of the same year. Drawing inspiration from 90's and 2000's alternative trends, as well as early digital messaging platforms, the app reimagines these influences for a modern audience.

We wanted to create an app for those who have either embraced a goth aesthetic in the past or have always been curious about it," said Nicholas Jackson, Founder of Vicious Studio, the team behind Not A Faze. "With 'Not A Faze,' users can revisit that phase and express their secret dark side.

To experience the transformative power of Not A Faze, users can download the app from the Apple App Store, upload their selfies, and witness their alternative personas come to life. Sharing their results on social media, users are encouraged to tag @NotAFazeApp on Instagram to showcase their goth-inspired looks.

Vicious Studio is excited to venture into the realm of AI with Not A Faze," added Nicholas. "While AI technology often sparks debate, we aimed to bring a touch of fun and creativity to the conversation." For more information and to download Not A Faze, visit the Apple App Store. Follow Not A Faze on Instagram @NotAFazeApp for updates and to share your goth transformations.

When you click on an offer wall, you will be brought to an external website belonging to other persons and will leave our application(s).

5. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?

In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or Twitter logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such a social media platform.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this privacy notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services.

We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
