Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Face Symmetry Checker (the "Site," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information from users (each, a "User").

1. Information We Collect

We are committed to collecting minimal data necessary to provide our service.

a. Data You Provide: Uploaded Images

The core function of our Site involves analyzing an image you voluntarily upload. We handle this sensitive data with the utmost care:

  • No Storage: We do not store, save, copy, or share the images you upload.
  • In-Memory Processing: Your image is processed in real-time. It is held in the server's memory only for the few seconds required to perform the facial analysis.
  • Instantaneous & Permanent Deletion: Once the analysis is complete and the results are sent to your browser, the image and any associated biometric data are immediately and permanently erased from memory. We do not use your images for AI model training or any other purpose.

b. Automatically Collected Data: Usage & Log Files

Like most websites, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, the pages you visit, and the time and date of your visit. This information is used for site administration and security, and is not linked to personally identifiable information.

c. Cookies and Web Beacons

We use cookies to enhance your experience. Cookies help the site function and allow us and our third-party partners to recognize you. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

2. Third-Party Services & Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads. These partners may use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits to this and other websites.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Site.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing (for EEA Users)

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process information only where we have a legal basis: to provide services, to satisfy a legitimate interest (research/development), with your consent, or to comply with legal obligations.

4. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

  • Right to Access: Request copies of your data.
  • Right to Rectification: Request corrections to inaccurate data.
  • Right to Erasure: The "right to be forgotten."
  • Right to Portability: Request data transfer to another org.

For California Residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected. Our site's core function does not store personal data from images, and we do not "sell" personal information.

5. Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized processing, accidental loss, or destruction.

6. Children's Privacy

This Site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe your child provided data, contact us immediately for removal.
