Welcome to FaceBloom! This Privacy Policy outlines how FaceBloom Analytics LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your information when you use the FaceBloom mobile application ("App"). Your use of the App signifies your agreement with the terms outlined in this comprehensive Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect:

User Data:

  • Facial Images: By using the App, you grant FaceBloom permission to collect and process facial images you voluntarily submit. These images are utilized for AI analysis and personalized improvement tips. Our facial image collection process exclusively captures frontal and side poses, without obtaining any depth data of the face. The input consists solely of a straightforward image.
  • Data Acquired: Face data is acquired utilizing the Google Library Media Pipe, which delineates facial features such as eyes, nose, and lips, without employing the iOS Built-in face scanner for depth information. Our algorithm processes the collected images solely through the Google Library, Media Pipe.
  • Data Sharing: We do not share the collected data with any third-party for any purpose. 
  • Demographics (optional): Optionally, users may provide demographic information to enhance the personalized experience.
  • Age (optional): Users have the option to provide their age for a more tailored user experience.
  • Skin Type (optional): Optionally, users may provide information about their skin type to receive more accurate AI analyses.

AI Analysis:

FaceBloom employs an advanced AI algorithm to analyze facial images. The AI generates aggregated data, such as skin tone and eye shape, without identifying specific facial features to maintain user privacy.
