1. Introduction Welcome to Hair Editor ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application, specifically designed for virtual hairstyle try-on, hair color modification, and grooming simulations.

2. Facial Data and Photos (Core Functionality) To provide our core service (AI-powered hairstyle and color visualization), we require access to your device's camera and photo library.

• Collection & Processing: When you select or take a 2D photo, the image is securely transmitted via encrypted channels (SSL/TLS) to our trusted third-party cloud AI service providers (Fal.ai for image generation and Google Cloud Vertex AI for face shape analysis) strictly for the purpose of applying the requested edits or providing style recommendations. We do not collect biometric data, TrueDepth data, or use facial recognition tracking technologies.
• Temporary Retention: Your photos and the generated results are temporarily cached on our third-party AI provider's secure servers solely to facilitate the generation and downloading process. These files are automatically deleted within a short period (up to 7 days) and are never used to train any machine learning models. We do not maintain our own database of your face data.
• Local Storage: All generated images and your edit history are saved only locally on your device. If you delete the app, your history will be permanently lost unless manually saved to your camera roll.

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data or photos. We share data only with essential service providers:

• Third-Party AI Service: As mentioned above, 2D images are sent to our cloud AI partner solely to generate the edited image. They are bound by strict data protection agreements to not use your photos for any purpose other than fulfilling your request.

4. Security We use industry-standard encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) to transmit your photos between your device and the AI servers. Because we follow a "zero-retention" policy on our servers, the risk of data breaches involving your personal images is effectively eliminated.

5. User Responsibility By using Hair Editor, you represent that you have the legal right to use and process the photos you upload. We encourage users to only upload photos of themselves or individuals from whom they have obtained explicit consent.

6. Changes to This Policy We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.

7. Contact Us If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through the feedback or support section within the app settings.
