Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how DetectFaceShape.com (“Detect Face Shape”, “we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our AI-powered face shape detection tool and website located at https://www.detect-faceshape.com/. Our goal is simple: help you understand your face shape with as little data collected as possible.
1) Images you upload
To detect your face shape, you may select or drop a facial image into the tool. The analysis runs locally in your browser using a self-hosted MediaPipe Face Landmarker model. Your selected photo is not sent to our server or to a third-party image-analysis API.
- Your browser uses the image solely to map facial landmarks, calculate proportions, and generate your on-screen result.
- The face-analysis model files are downloaded to your browser and may be cached by it; those model files contain no information about you.
- We do not use uploaded photos for advertising, training unrelated models, or selling to data brokers.
- We do not create an account or identity profile based on your image.
This local-processing description applies to the current face-shape detector. If the implementation changes in a way that transmits photos, we will update this Policy and the detector interface before that change takes effect.
2) Other information we may collect
- Usage data: non-identifying information such as pages viewed, basic device information, browser type, and general region. This helps us understand performance and improve UX.
- Server logs: standard web logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamps, error logs) used for security, abuse prevention, and reliability.
- Contact messages: if you contact us (e.g., via a contact form), we receive the details you submit (such as your name, email, and message).
3) How we use information
- To provide the face shape detection result you requested.
- To maintain, secure, and optimize the website and underlying systems.
- To detect, prevent, or investigate abuse, spam, or technical issues.
- To respond to support or feedback messages you send us.
4) Legal bases (EEA/UK, where applicable)
- Legitimate interests: running a secure, reliable, and improved Service using minimal analytics and logs.
- Consent: where required for optional features (e.g., non-essential cookies, if added).
5) Sharing & third-party services
We do not sell your personal information or your images. We may use carefully selected third-party service providers (for example: hosting, security tools, performance monitoring, or privacy-focused analytics). These providers only process limited data on our behalf, under contractual obligations to protect it and use it solely to support our Service. We may disclose information if required by law or when necessary to protect our rights, safety, users, or the integrity of the Service.
6) Cookies & analytics
If we use analytics or cookies, we aim for minimal and privacy-respecting implementations. Where legally required, we will display clear notices and options to manage your preferences. You can typically control cookies through your browser settings.
7) Retention
- Contact messages are kept as long as reasonably necessary to respond and maintain records.
- Server logs and analytics data are retained only for limited periods needed for security and operations.
8) Your rights
- You can use Detect Face Shape without creating an account or providing your real identity.
- Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us via the contact page.
- California and other region-specific privacy rights will be respected in line with applicable law.
9) Data security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, or loss. However, no online service is entirely risk-free, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10) Children
Detect Face Shape is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law). If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.
11) Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we improve features or change providers. If changes are significant, we may highlight them on the site. Continued use of Detect Face Shape after updates means you accept the revised Policy.
12) Contact
