At [HairMatch AI], safeguarding your privacy is paramount. This statement explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our application.
Permissions and Usage
AI Image Processing
When using AI-powered hairstyle generation features, photos you upload may contain facial features and are used solely to generate hairstyle preview results.
To generate these results, user-selected photos may be temporarily transmitted to a third-party AI image generation service (Seedream AI provided by ByteDance) for processing.
These images are used only for generating the requested hairstyle preview and are not stored, retained, or reusedafter the processing result is returned to your device.
The app does not perform facial recognition, identity verification, or biometric identification.
Before any photo is sent for AI processing, the app informs the user that the image will be transmitted to a third-party AI service. Processing occurs only after the user chooses to continue.
Device Information for Advertising & Analytics
To support advertising delivery, performance measurement, and app analytics, we may collect limited device identifiers (such as advertising identifiers) and non-personal technical information.
This data is used only to:
•
Serve relevant advertisements
•
Measure advertisement effectiveness

Improve application performance and user experience
This information does not include personal photos or facial data.
