1. What We Analyze

Your photo library is analyzed on your device using Apple Vision and Core Image. Classification, color analysis, face clustering, and deduplication happen entirely on your iPhone. No photos are uploaded during this step.

2. What We Send to AI

Small, compressed thumbnail images (up to 768px, low quality) are sent to Google Gemini via a secure API for visual analysis. The exact size and quantity may vary as we optimize quality. These thumbnails are:

Created in temporary memory
Sent over HTTPS
Discarded immediately after analysis
Never stored on any server

A text-only summary (no images) is sent to Anthropic Claude to generate your personality card.

3. What We Do Not Collect

No account or login
No name, email, or phone number
No Apple ID or IDFA
No face prints or biometric data
No full-resolution photos
No location data from photos
No data shared with advertisers

4. Analytics

We collect anonymous session data (random ID, not linked to your identity) to improve the app: which features are used, which experiments are active. This data is sent to our own server (Cloudflare Worker), not to any third-party analytics service.

5. Payments

Purchases are processed by Apple via the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment information.

6. Data Retention

We retain no personal data. Anonymous analytics events are stored for up to 30 days and then deleted.
