Privacy Policy

Information the app produces

• Scan reports. Your overall skin score, estimated skin age, per-metric results such as moisture, texture, and redness, an inferred skin type, and the recommendations generated from them.

• Routine and check-in history. Your generated morning and night routines, which steps you completed on which day, water check-ins, streaks, and in-app spark rewards.

• Potential visualizations. An AI visualization of your baseline scan photo adjusted toward the goal you chose. It is a simulation, not a prediction, and results vary with your routine.

Information we collect automatically

Very little, and none of it for tracking. We do not embed third-party analytics, attribution, or advertising SDKs in the Glassify app. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, including IP address and timestamps, for security and reliability. Apple gives us aggregate, anonymous App Store and crash statistics that we cannot tie back to you.

Glassify does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies, and does not ask for permission to do so.

Device permissions

• Camera. Used for face scans and progress photos. Nothing is captured until you start a scan or take a photo.

• Microphone. Used only when you dictate a skin diary entry. Speech is converted to text using Apple’s speech recognition. On devices that support on-device recognition this happens entirely on your phone; otherwise a short audio clip is sent to Apple to be transcribed. Either way Glassify stores only the resulting text, never the audio.

• Notifications. Used for the morning and night routine reminders. Reminders are scheduled locally on your device.

• Apple Health. Optional and read-only. See section 4.

You can turn any of these off in the iOS Settings app at any time. The rest of Glassify keeps working.

3. Face photos and skin data

We treat your face scan images and progress photos as sensitive personal data, and handle them under the special category rules of the GDPR even where local law might not strictly require it. That means:

• We ask for your explicit consent before your first scan, and we explain what happens to the photo.

• Photos are written to your iPhone with full file protection, so they are encrypted and unreadable while your device is locked.

• If you are signed in, photos are also uploaded to a private cloud storage bucket that no other user can read. Access is scoped to your account at the database level and served through short-lived signed links.

• Photos are never used to train a face recognition system, are never used to identify you, and are never used to build an advertising profile.

• We do not sell, rent, or trade your photos or skin data. Ever.

What happens during a scan

1. You take a guided photo in the app.

2. Before anything leaves your phone, the app checks the shot locally using Apple’s on-device Vision framework, to confirm there is exactly one face and the framing is usable. That check runs entirely on your device, and a photo that fails it is never uploaded.

3. Your photo is uploaded over an encrypted connection to our skin analysis provider. The analysis happens on their servers, not on your phone. Their API scores fourteen separate measures: wrinkles, firmness, acne, moisture, eye bags, dark circles, spots, radiance, redness, oiliness, pores, texture, and upper and lower eyelid droop. Your skin score, estimated skin age, and skin type are derived from those results. They process the image for that analysis and do not keep it as part of a Glassify archive.

4. Glassify keeps your own copy of the photo and the resulting report so your history and Progress tab work.

5. The measurements from your report and your skin profile, not your photo, are what feed routine generation.

Your photo is never sent to an AI text model. Routine generation receives your skin profile answers and numeric scan metrics only.

4. Apple Health

Connecting Apple Health is optional. If you connect it, Glassify reads the following and nothing else:

• Water intake

• Sleep analysis

• Menstrual flow

• Workouts

We use these to give your routine and check-ins context, for example relating a flare-up to a stretch of poor sleep. Glassify does not write anything back to Apple Health.

In line with Apple’s rules, Health data is never used for advertising or marketing, is never sold or shared with data brokers, and is never disclosed to a third party without your permission. You can revoke access at any time in the Health app under Sharing, then Apps.

5. How we use your information

• To build and update your morning and night routines.

• To run skin analysis and store your scan reports.

• To show your progress over time, including photos, stats, and streaks.

• To keep your data in sync across your devices when you are signed in.

• To send the routine reminders you asked for.

• To answer your support messages.

• To keep the service secure, debug problems, and prevent abuse.

• To meet our legal obligations.

We do not use your data for advertising, we do not profile you for marketing, and we do not make automated decisions about you that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
