BeautyMe Privacy Policy

---

1. Overview and Purpose

Welcome to the BeautyMe application. We recognize and respect the importance of maintaining the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy has been crafted to explain how we handle the personal information that you provide us or that we collect in connection with the operation of our BeautyMe app. The purpose of this privacy policy is to transparently explain how BeautyMe collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards users' personal information. We aim to foster trust by communicating our data-handling practices and ensuring our users are informed about their rights and our responsibilities.

2. Information Collection

When you interact with the BeautyMe app, we collect several types of information:

• Profile Data: Including name, username, email address, phone number, gender, user image, and user address.
• Device and Usage Information: Data about how you use our app, device identifiers, and other diagnostic data.
• Photo Data: Photos you upload for style transformation are processed to generate results.

3. Data Collection and Use

BeautyMe uses facial imagery to provide AI-powered style transformations. This section explains how we handle face data:

• What Face Data We Collect: When you upload a photo, we do not create facial recognition templates, the only face data collected is the uploaded photo itself.
• How Face Data Is Used: Face data is used exclusively to generate style transformations you request (e.g., hairstyles, haircuts, outfits, or professional looks). Face data is never used for recognition, identification, tracking, profiling, or advertising.
• Third-Party Sharing: Your uploaded photo is securely transmitted to Google's Gemini AI for processing. Google processes it solely to produce the transformation and does not retain or share your face data. No other third parties receive your face data.
• Storage and Security: Photos and generated images are stored on our secure, encrypted servers with encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security audits.
• Retention Period: Uploaded photos and associated face data are automatically deleted within 30 days. You may request immediate deletion at any time by contacting us.
