Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. This policy outlines how we handle your data transparently and securely.

Effective Date: October 20, 2025

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Face Type Detector (the "Site," "we," "us," or "our"), accessible from facetypedetector.org, collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information from users (each, a "User").

1. Information We Collect

We are committed to collecting minimal data necessary to provide our service.

a. Data You Provide: Uploaded Images

The core function of our Site involves analyzing an image you voluntarily upload. We handle this sensitive data with the utmost care:

  • No Storage: We do not store, save, copy, or share the images you upload.
  • In-Memory Processing: Your image is processed in real-time. It is held in the server's memory only for the few seconds required to perform the facial analysis.
  • Instantaneous & Permanent Deletion: Once the analysis is complete and the results are sent to your browser, the image and any associated biometric data are immediately and permanently erased from memory. We do not use your images for AI model training or any other purpose.

b. Automatically Collected Data: Usage & Log Files

Like most websites, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site. This data may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and other statistics. This information is used for site administration, trend analysis, and security, and it is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
