FaceApp is the latest viral trend that has everyone doing a double-take over how they might look 50 years in the future -- but users might want to take a closer look at the privacy policy first.

The Jonas Brothers shared a snapshot of the three siblings, Kevin, Joe and Nick, with a caption that perfectly fit their early hit song"The Year 3,000."Drake dropped a side profile photo that showed him with grayed hair and salt-and-pepper coloration throughout his signature beard. FaceApp uses a type of artificial intelligence to"transform your face" according to the iTunes app store.

Critics have cautioned that the app could collect more than just the photos that are uploaded. According to the policy, FaceApp"cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to FaceApp or guarantee that information on the service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed."
