Privacy Policy

The short version

You do not need an account. We never ask for your email or phone number. Your face scores are worked out on your phone. Nothing about your scans leaves your phone until you agree.

If you agree, each new scan sends your selfie to our server and to OpenAI, which reads your skin and writes your tips. We do not keep your photos. We keep your scan data until you delete it. Delete my data in the app removes it from your phone and from our server.

If you do not agree

You can still scan. Your scans, scores, and routine stay on your phone and nothing about them is sent to us. You can turn on saving later in the app settings.

What happens when you scan

The front camera makes a 3D scan of your face and takes a selfie. Your phone measures your face from the scan and works out your face scores. This part always happens on your phone.

If you agreed to saving, the app then sends our server:

• the new selfie, and the photo from your last scan so we can compare the two
• your face measurements and face scores
• the 3D shape of your face
• the age, gender, and goals you gave in the app

Our server sends the two photos, your measurements and scores, and your age, gender, and goals to OpenAI. OpenAI reads your skin, writes notes and tips, and says if your skin looks better, the same, or worse than in your last photo. The 3D shape of your face is never sent to OpenAI.

Your photos

We do not store your photos. Our server holds a photo only while it is being read, then drops it. We keep a hash of each photo, a short code that cannot be turned back into the photo, so the same photo gets the same answer.

OpenAI does not use your photos to train its models. Under its terms for business customers it may keep them for up to 30 days to check for abuse, then deletes them.

Your scan photos stay on your phone, inside the app, until you delete them.

If you used version 1.0 of the app, the selfies and retouched photos you saved then are still on our server. Delete my data removes them too.

Face data

If you agree to saving, we store this face data on our server:

• Your face measurements, such as symmetry, jaw width, and face height, and the face and skin scores worked out from them.
• The 3D shape of your face: a set of points from your phone's depth camera. It is encrypted on our server with AES-256-GCM.

We use face data only to show your report, track your progress over time, and bring back your scans if you reinstall the app. We never use it to recognize or identify you, and we never compare it with anyone else's face. We do not sell it or use it for ads. The only one we share it with is OpenAI, which gets your measurements and scores as described above. The 3D shape of your face goes to no one.

Face data is kept until you delete it. If you do not open the app for 12 months, we delete the 3D shape of your face from our server.

Everything we store until you delete it

• For each scan: your scores, face measurements, skin scores, notes, and tips.
• The 3D shape of your face, encrypted.
• The age, gender, and goals you gave in the app.
• Your routine: the steps you picked, the days you ticked them, and your streak.
• Your time zone, so streaks count the right days.
• A random ID made for your device, the app version, and the platform. The random ID is not linked to your name or Apple ID.
• The IP address and device type the app last signed in from, kept with the session for security.

Our server also keeps the text answer OpenAI gave for a photo for up to 30 days, filed under the photo's hash, so the same photo is not read twice.

What we do not collect

We do not collect your email, phone number, contacts, location, or advertising ID. The name you type in the app stays on your phone. There are no ads and no analytics tools in the app. We do not track you across other apps or websites, and we never sell your data.

Who we share it with

• OpenAI, only to read your photos and write your notes and tips, as described above.
• A cloud hosting company that runs our server and database. It stores the data for us and may not use it for anything else.

No one else. We may share data if the law requires it.

What stays on your phone

• Your name, your answers from the intro, and your profile photo.
• Your scan photos, scores, and the 3D shape of each scan.
• Your routine and streak.
• Whether you agreed to saving.

Delete my data

Open the app settings and tap Delete my data. It removes every scan, photo, score, 3D shape, and routine tick from your phone, and your account and everything in it from our server, including any photos saved by version 1.0. If your phone is offline, it runs the next time the app is online, before anything else is sent.

Two things stay. The random device ID stays on your phone. Our server keeps a record of when that device ID ran a scan, with no scan data in it, so the daily limit cannot be reset by deleting.

Saving stays on after Delete my data, so your next scan is saved again. To stop sending anything, delete the app after you delete your data.

Children

Selfie AI is not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you think a child has used the app, delete the data with Delete my data in the app.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update this page and the date at the top.
