Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

At Face Shape Detector, your privacy is one of our highest priorities. We understand that using facial recognition tools can be sensitive, and we are committed to ensuring that your personal data, including images, analytics, and communications, are handled securely and responsibly. Our privacy practices are designed to comply with international regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), while giving you clear control over your information.

This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how it is used, stored, and protected, as well as the rights you have to manage your personal data. We strive to be transparent and provide a safe environment for all our users.

Image Processing and Local Storage

One of the core principles of our service is that **your images never leave your device**. Unlike other services that upload photos to remote servers, we process all images locally using advanced client-side algorithms. This ensures that your photos remain private and secure at all times.

• No Server Upload: By performing analysis locally, we eliminate the risk of data breaches from remote storage and prevent any possibility of unauthorized access.
• No Storage: We do not save, cache, or persist your photos. Once analysis is complete or you leave the page, all images are immediately removed from memory.
• Temporary Memory Processing: Images exist only in your browser's temporary memory during analysis. Closing the browser or refreshing the page clears all data.
• No Third-Party Sharing: Since images never reach our servers, there is no chance of them being shared with advertisers, analytics platforms, or other third parties.

This approach maximizes your privacy while still allowing powerful facial analysis features. Even in the unlikely event of a software vulnerability, your images remain on your device, mitigating risks of exposure.
