("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. </p> <h2>Information We Collect</h2> <p> FleckIQ does not collect, store, or retain any personal information or facial data. We do not have access to your photos or analysis results. </p> <h2>Face and Skin Data</h2> <p> FleckIQ allows you to capture or upload photos of your skin for AI-powered analysis. This section explains how we handle this sensitive data. </p> <h3>Collection</h3> <p> When you use the scan feature, you may take a photo or select an image from your photo library. This image may contain your face or other skin areas. The photo capture requires your explicit action - we never access your camera or photos without your permission. </p> <h3>Use</h3> <p> Images are transmitted securely to our AI analysis service (powered by OpenAI's GPT-4 Vision API) to identify skin conditions such as acne, dryness, moles, and other concerns, and to provide personalized skincare recommendations. Analysis occurs in real-time. </p> <h3>Storage</h3> <p> <strong>We do not store your face or skin images on our servers.</strong> Images exist only temporarily in your device's memory during the analysis session. Our backend (Firebase Cloud Functions) processes the image in transit but does not persist it to any database or file storage. </p> <h3>Third-Party Processing</h3> <p> Images are processed by OpenAI's Vision API. Per OpenAI's API data usage policy (<a href="https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies" target="_blank">https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies</a>), images submitted via their API are: </p> <ul> <li>Not used to train their AI models</li> <li>Not retained after processing is complete</li> <li>Processed securely with enterprise-grade encryption</li> </ul> <p> No face or skin data is shared with any other third parties. </p> <h3>Retention</h3> <p> <strong>Zero retention.</strong> Face and skin images are discarded immediately after analysis is complete. Neither FleckIQ nor OpenAI retains your images after the real-time analysis session ends. </p> <h3>Your Control</h3> <p> You have complete control over your face data: </p> <ul> <li>You can choose not to use the scan feature at any time</li> <li>All photo capture requires your explicit action</li> <li>No images are collected without your direct participation</li> <li>Since we don't store images, there is no data to delete</li> </ul> <h2>Data Retention Summary</h2> <p> FleckIQ does not retain your facial data or analysis results. All processing occurs in real-time, and no data is stored on our servers. Images are transmitted, analyzed, and immediately discarded. </p> <h2>Third-Party Services</h2> <p> We use the following third-party services: </p> <ul> <li><strong>OpenAI (GPT-4 Vision API)</strong> - For AI-powered skin analysis. <a href="https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies" target="_blank">View their API data policy</a></li> <li><strong>Firebase (Google)</strong> - For secure backend infrastructure. <a href="https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy" target="_blank">View their privacy policy</a></li> <li><strong>RevenueCat</strong> - For subscription management (no image data shared). <a href="https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy" target="_blank">View their privacy policy</a></li> </ul> <h2>Your Rights</h2> <p> Since we do not collect or store any personal data, there is no data to access, modify, or delete.
