HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

AI & DATA USAGE

We may use anonymized analysis results (without any identifying information or photos) to improve AI accuracy over time.
- AI analyzes skin conditions, pore visibility, hydration levels, wrinkles, and other dermatological features in real-time.
- Photos are never stored permanently - they are analyzed and immediately deleted from our servers.
- We may retain anonymized analysis metadata (e.g., "skin type: oily" without photos) to improve AI models.
- No personally identifiable photos or user data are ever used for AI training.
YOUR RIGHTS & GDPR/CCPA COMPLIANCE

- Business data is stored in secure cloud infrastructure with encryption and access control.
- All transmissions occur over HTTPS with TLS 1.3 encryption.
- User photos are processed in-memory only and never written to permanent storage.

You may request account deletion at any time, and some data may be retained to meet legal or compliance obligations.
