SKINTEL ("SKINTEL," "we," "us," or "our") is a mobile application published by the developer account
com.saksham477.SkintelAI ("the App") that provides AI-assisted skin analysis, personalized
skincare routine recommendations, and progress tracking. This Privacy Policy explains what information the
App collects, how it is used, who it is shared with, how long it is kept, and the choices you have.
| Category | Examples | Collected when |
|---|---|---|
| Account data | Email address, authentication identifiers (including Sign in with Apple identifiers if used) | Account creation / sign-in |
| Face photos | The selfie(s) you take or upload for a skin scan | Each time you run a scan |
| Derived skin analysis data | AI-generated concern scores (e.g. hydration, pores, wrinkles, redness, oiliness, acne), overall skin score, narrative summary | Generated automatically after each scan |
| Onboarding & profile data | Skin type, age range, skin goals and concerns, sun exposure, current products | Onboarding questionnaire |
| Routine & usage data | Generated routine steps, product recommendations, completion history | Ongoing app use |
| Subscription & purchase data | Apple transaction ID, product ID, purchase/expiration dates, subscription status | When you purchase or restore a subscription |
| Device permissions | Camera and photo library access, used only to take or choose a scan photo. On iOS, a location-permission description is present in the App only because it is referenced by a bundled camera library — the App never requests or reads your location. | First use of the camera/photo picker |
We do not collect precise or approximate location, contacts, browsing history, or health records from any other app or source.
Because photos of your face are sensitive, here is a complete, specific explanation of what happens to them:
The photo you take or select for a scan, downscaled on your device before upload to reduce size.
Solely to generate your skin analysis: concern scores (hydration, pores, wrinkles, dark spots, redness, oiliness, acne), your overall skin score, a written narrative summary, and a personalized routine built from those results. Your photo is also used for basic photo-quality and face-detection checks (e.g. rejecting a photo that is too dark, too blurry, contains no face, or contains more than one face) before analysis runs.
Your photo is sent, over an encrypted connection, to YouCam (Perfect Corp), a third-party skin-analysis API provider, for the sole purpose of generating the concern scores described above. YouCam processes the image to return analysis results and does not receive your name, email, or any other account information alongside the photo. We do not share your face photos with advertisers, data brokers, or any party other than YouCam for this analysis purpose.
After analysis, your original photo is stored in a private, access-controlled cloud storage bucket (hosted on Supabase) associated only with your account. It is not publicly accessible; only your authenticated account can retrieve it (via short-lived signed URLs).
Your photos and the scan results derived from them are retained for as long as your account remains active, so you can review past scans and track progress over time. You may delete an individual scan or permanently delete your entire account (which immediately and permanently deletes all stored photos, scan results, and account data) at any time from Profile → Delete account in the App. Deleted data is removed from our storage and database as part of that action and cannot be recovered.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own advertising or marketing purposes. We work with the following service providers, each of which processes data only as needed to provide their service to us, under contractual confidentiality and security obligations equivalent to the protections described in this policy:
| Provider | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| YouCam (Perfect Corp) | AI skin analysis of scan photos | Scan photo only (no account identifiers) |
| Supabase | Database, authentication, and encrypted cloud storage hosting | Account data, photos, scan results, routines |
| Apple (App Store / StoreKit) | Processing subscription purchases and verifying transactions | Purchase/transaction identifiers; optionally Sign in with Apple identifiers |
SKINTEL does not track you. We do not use your data to serve targeted advertising, we do not combine your data with data from other companies for advertising purposes, and we do not share your data with data brokers. The App does not use the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), third-party advertising SDKs, or cross-app/cross-website tracking technologies. Because SKINTEL does not track users as defined by Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework, the App does not display an App Tracking Transparency prompt.
Data is transmitted using encrypted (HTTPS/TLS) connections. Photos and account data are stored in access-controlled cloud infrastructure (Supabase) scoped to your authenticated account. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable, industry-standard measures to protect your information.
SKINTEL is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information, including face photos, from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above, and, where required, we will provide additional notice in the App.
