5. Face Data and Photos

Glim allows users to upload or capture a facial photo so the app can provide AI-powered appearance analysis, personalized recommendations, diagnostics, scores, and optional optimized preview images.

Face data we collect: We collect the facial image or photo that you choose to upload, capture, or submit to Glim. We also generate related non-biometric outputs from that photo, including appearance scores, facial feature observations, diagnostics, improvement suggestions, scan history, and optional Generated Images.

How we use face data: We use submitted facial photos and related scan outputs only to provide Glim’s core app functionality, including generating face and appearance analysis, personalized recommendations, visual previews, and saved scan results in your account.

What is sent for AI processing: When you submit a Face Scan for analysis, Glim may send your uploaded or captured face photo and related scan information to third-party AI service providers so they can process the scan and generate your results. This may include the image itself, scan metadata, selected app options, and information needed to return analysis outputs or Generated Images.

Who receives Face Scan data: Glim uses OpenAI to process Face Scan photos and related scan information for AI-powered appearance analysis, explanations, diagnostics, scores, and recommendations. Glim uses fal.ai/FAL to process submitted Face Scan photos for optional generated, optimized, or preview image features.

User permission before third-party AI processing: Glim asks for your permission before sending your Face Scan to third-party AI providers. If you do not consent, you should not submit a Face Scan for AI analysis or optional image generation.

Glim does not use Face Data to identify you, authenticate you, verify your identity, track you across apps or websites, build advertising profiles, or sell your data. Glim is not a face recognition or biometric identification service.

Storage: Face Scan photos, Generated Images, and related Analysis Results may be stored using our cloud storage and database providers so users can access their scan history and app results. Access is restricted to the authenticated user account and authorized service operations required to provide the app.

Retention: Face Scan photos, Generated Images, and related scan results are retained while your account is active or while needed to provide scan history and app functionality, unless you delete your account or request deletion earlier. When a deletion request is processed, associated Face Scan photos and scan data are deleted from active storage unless limited retention is required for legal, security, fraud prevention, or operational reasons.

6. Third-Party AI Services

Glim uses third-party AI service providers to generate face analysis, diagnostics, recommendations, scores, explanations, and optional Generated Images.

OpenAI: Glim sends submitted Face Scan photos and related scan information to OpenAI to generate AI-powered appearance analysis, facial feature observations, explanations, diagnostics, scores, and recommendations.

fal.ai/FAL: Glim sends submitted Face Scan photos to fal.ai/FAL when needed to generate optional optimized, enhanced, or preview images.

These third-party AI providers process the submitted data only as needed to provide Glim’s app features, generate the requested results, and return those results to Glim.

Glim requires user permission before sending Face Scan data to third-party AI providers for processing. Only including this information in this Privacy Policy is not the only notice provided; Glim also provides an in-app disclosure before AI processing begins.
