Last updated: 04/08/2026

1. Introduction

LooksLab ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and services. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to being transparent about our data practices.

2. Information We Collect

Photos and Biometric Data

We collect the following types of image data when you use our scan features:

  • Facial photographs: Front-facing and side-profile images of your face captured through your device camera
  • Hair photographs: Images of your hair and scalp captured for hair health analysis
  • Food photographs: Images of meals captured for nutritional analysis
  • Facial geometry measurements: Derived data points including jawline definition scores, facial symmetry ratios, cheekbone visibility measurements, under-eye puffiness levels, and overall facial bloating assessments
  • AI-generated analysis scores: Numerical scores (1-10 scale) for facial definition, jawline prominence, puffiness levels, hair health metrics, and nutritional assessments
  • Progress tracking data: Comparative measurements between multiple photos taken over time

Important: We do NOT collect biometric identifiers for identity verification, facial recognition, or authentication purposes. All image data is collected solely for appearance analysis, health insights, and progress tracking.

In-App Consent: Before your photos are sent to any third-party AI service for the first time, the app displays a clear disclosure screen explaining what data is sent, who processes it, and how it is retained. You must explicitly agree before any data is transmitted.

Third-Party Processing: Your photos are shared with a third-party AI analysis service (currently OpenRouter, which routes requests to AI models) to provide core app functionality including facial analysis, hair analysis, food analysis, personalized recommendations, and progress tracking. This sharing is essential for the app to function properly. The AI service processes your images in real-time and does not retain them after analysis completion.

Personal Information
