SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS
What do we collect? Photos you choose to upload, the AI images generated for you, and basic device/usage data. We do not require an account to use core features.
How do we use photos? To generate your requested AI image and to let you reuse uploaded parent photos and generated results for future generations. Photos and generated results are stored securely on encrypted servers and remain until you uninstall the app, which deletes them from our servers. We do not use your photos or outputs to train AI models.
Do we sell or share your data? No. We do not "sell" or "share" your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not disclose face data to any third parties.
Your rights. Depending on where you live, you may request access, deletion, correction, portability, and to object or restrict processing. See Section 8. To delete stored photos and generated results, uninstalling the app will remove them from our servers.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
Information you provide
In short: We collect personal information that you provide to us.
- Photos & User Content: Images you upload to generate an AI image and the generated output returned to you. We do not extract or store biometric identifiers (e.g., faceprints) from your photos.
- Support & Feedback: Content of messages you send to us (e.g., email address, message text, attachments) if you contact support.
- Purchases: If you buy a subscription or in-app product, we receive purchase confirmations from the app store; payment card details are handled by Apple/Google, not by us.
Information we collect automatically
In short: We collect minimal device and usage data to keep the app secure and working. This may include IP address, device model/OS version, app version, language, crash logs, and basic usage events. We do not create profiles for advertising.
App permissions
- Camera & Photos: Used only so you can take or select images to generate the AI result.
- Notifications (optional): To inform you about generation status or important updates. You can disable in device settings.
Sensitive information and biometrics
Some laws consider images of faces to be "biometric information." We do not create or store biometric identifiers and do not use your photos to identify anyone. We do not access or use device-level biometrics such as Face ID.
1A. FACE DATA COLLECTION, USE, SHARING, STORAGE & RETENTION
Haircut Simulator only processes the photos you choose to upload and the AI image generated for you. We do not collect facial recognition templates, embeddings, or geometry; any automated face detection used to center/crop is performed ephemerally and is not retained.
We collected images solely to generate and deliver image you requested and to let you view/save/share it at your direction. We do not use face data for identification, advertising, profiling, or analytics, and we do not use your photos or outputs to train AI models.
We do not sell, share, or disclose face data to any third parties.
Your uploaded parent photos and the generated results are stored securely on encrypted servers so you can reuse them for future generations. They will remain stored until you uninstall the app, which permanently deletes them from our servers.
At this time, the way to delete stored photos and generated results is to uninstall the app.
2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
We process your information to:
- Provide the Service: Receive your photos, generate and return the AI image, and deliver features you request.
- Maintain & Improve: Diagnose issues, prevent fraud/abuse, and understand app performance (e.g., crashes).
- Support & Communication: Respond to your inquiries and provide important notices about the app.
- Legal Compliance: Comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and enforce our terms.
AI model training
We do not use your photos or generated images to train AI models.
3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON?
If you are in the EEA/UK: We process your information under these bases:
- Consent: For uploading photos and, if applicable, optional notifications or minimal analytics; you can withdraw consent at any time.
- Contract: To provide the Services you request (e.g., generate your AI image).
- Legitimate Interests: To secure and improve the app (e.g., crash logs) in a way that doesn’t override your rights.
- Legal Obligations: Where processing is required by law.
If you are in Canada: We rely on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time, and on other grounds permitted by applicable law.
4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION?
We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not disclose face data to any third parties. We may disclose limited information to:

5. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES & LINKS
Our Services may link to third-party sites or services. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information.
6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP INFORMATION?
Face Data Retention: Uploaded parent photos and generated results are stored securely on encrypted servers and retained so you can reuse them. They are kept until you uninstall the app, which permanently deletes them from our servers. We retain no facial templates or embeddings. Operational Logs: Minimal diagnostic data is retained only as long as needed for security, troubleshooting, and legal compliance and does not include face data.
7. HOW DO WE KEEP INFORMATION SAFE?
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures (e.g., encryption in transit, access controls). No system is 100% secure, and transmission is at your own risk. If a security incident occurs, we will notify you and/or regulators where required by law. Uninstalling the app triggers the deletion of your stored photos and generated results from our servers.
8. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, and to data portability. You may also withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise rights, contact info@rivia.studio. We will respond in accordance with applicable law. To delete photos and generated results stored on our servers, uninstall the app.
EEA/UK users may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: EU contacts. Swiss users: FDPIC.
