Tracking technologies also used are beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Service.
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

Face Filters in Friends
Face Filters can be used to send Augmented Reality (AR) messages to Oxygen contacts (within the Friends function). Using TrueDepth technology, Face Filters uses the face of the person looking at the camera and overlays animated filters to create dynamic messages which can be sent to the user’s Oxygen contacts. There are no other uses of Face Filters within the Oxygen application.
Although Face Filters data is encrypted, you should remember that Face Filters messages and data do leave your device when you send them to your contact(s). If you choose to use Face Filters in your messages, you have control as to whom your messages are sent. Face Filters data will be automatically deleted from your recipient(s) device after 24 hours, whether they have viewed it or not; Oxygen does not store the content of your Face Filters messages on its servers.
The TrueDepth camera only activates when you select Face Filters in the Friends function of the app. Otherwise, there is no Face Filter data being collected by the app while you are using any other function, or while you are using the Friends function to send text messages, file attachments, or to send money via P2P and OGifts. If you do not want to use the Face Filters, simply do not select it when you are within the Friends function.
