Facely Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Facely handles photos, onboarding answers, AI reports, AI Coach messages, subscriptions, reminders, and local app data. We have written it in a direct way because face photos and AI analysis are sensitive and users should understand exactly what happens before they continue.

Effective date: June 24, 2026 App: Facely Contact: support@venby.co

1. Who we are

Facely is a mobile application operated by Venby ("Facely", "we", "us", or "our"). Facely helps users upload or capture a face photo, answer onboarding questions, receive an AI-generated appearance report, manage suggested routines and to-do items, and chat with an AI Coach about face analysis, grooming, skin, hair, style, scan quality, and routines.

You can contact us at support@venby.co or by phone at +90 544 995 44 04.

Important: Facely is not a medical, dermatology, mental health, biometric identification, or surgical planning service. AI-generated outputs may be inaccurate and should be treated as general informational and lifestyle guidance only.

2. Short version

3. Data we process

Depending on which features you use, Facely may process the following categories of data:

Data category Examples Why it is used Where it is stored or sent
Onboarding answers Gender selection, age, weakest attribute, goal level, motivation, routine commitment, chin projection preference, photo method, selected plan. To personalize your report, routine, to-do suggestions, and AI Coach context. Stored locally on your device. Sent to OpenAI for AI analysis after consent.
Face photo A photo you take with the camera or choose from your photo library. To generate your AI face report, score, feature breakdown, and progress comparisons. Stored locally on your device. Sent to OpenAI for AI analysis after consent.
AI face report Overall score, potential score, main improvement area, feature scores, insights, quick wins, timeline, routine items. To show your analysis, report history, dashboard, and recommended actions. Stored locally on your device. May be sent to OpenAI as context for progress scans or AI Coach after consent.
Progress scans New face photo, previous report, score delta, improved or unchanged areas. To compare your current scan with a prior report and update your plan. Stored locally on your device. Sent to OpenAI for comparison after consent.
To-do and routine data Recommended actions, completion dates, reminder times, active/inactive tasks. To help you follow the routine and track daily actions. Stored locally on your device. Relevant task context may be sent to OpenAI for progress recommendations.
AI Coach chat data Your messages, assistant replies, recent conversation context. To answer questions about your face report, style, skin, hair, grooming, routines, and scan quality. Stored locally on your device. Sent to OpenAI after AI Coach consent.
Notification choices Whether reminders are enabled, selected reminder times, notification identifiers. To schedule local reminders for routines or to-do items. Stored locally on your device and processed by your device operating system.
Subscription status Weekly or yearly entitlement, purchase state, restore status. To unlock paid features and verify access. Handled by App Store, Google Play, and/or subscription infrastructure such as RevenueCat if enabled.

4. Local-only storage and no current Facely cloud account database

Facely currently stores the main app experience on your device using local app storage. This includes onboarding answers, selected photo metadata, local photo file, reports, progress reports, to-do tasks, reminder choices, AI consent flags, and AI Coach messages.

As currently implemented, we do not run a Facely-owned backend database that permanently stores your face photo, reports, onboarding answers, to-do list, or AI Coach history under a user account. This means:

If we add an account system, cloud sync, analytics, or a server database in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and, where required, request additional consent.

5. How we use OpenAI

Facely uses OpenAI API technology to generate face reports, progress comparisons, and AI Coach replies. OpenAI is a third-party AI service provider. When you use AI features, the app sends the relevant data through a Facely-operated Cloudflare Worker proxy to OpenAI so the model can process it and return a response. The proxy keeps the OpenAI API credential out of the mobile app.

5.1 What is sent to OpenAI for the first AI face report

5.2 What is sent to OpenAI for progress scans

5.3 What is sent to OpenAI for AI Coach

5.4 Why OpenAI receives this data

OpenAI receives this data only to provide AI functionality requested by you: generating a report, comparing scans, or replying in AI Coach. Without sending the relevant data to an AI model, these features cannot work as intended.

5.5 OpenAI policies and retention

Facely sends OpenAI Responses API requests with server-side response storage disabled (store: false). OpenAI states that data sent through its API is not used to train or improve OpenAI models unless the API customer explicitly opts in. Facely has not opted in to share API data for model training.

OpenAI states that its default abuse-monitoring logs may contain prompts, responses, uploaded images, and related metadata and may be retained for up to 30 days. OpenAI may retain data longer when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect its services or third parties from harm. Facely does not currently represent that its OpenAI project has Zero Data Retention approval.

You can review OpenAI's own privacy information at openai.com/policies/privacy-policy and enterprise/API privacy information at openai.com/enterprise-privacy.

Important: We do not control OpenAI's infrastructure, security, data retention, subprocessors, or legal obligations. We send only the data needed for the AI feature you choose to use.

7. Face data: collection, use, sharing, storage, and retention

7.1 Face data we collect and derive

When you choose to take or upload a scan, Facely processes the face photo you select. For purposes of this policy, "face data" means: (a) that selected or captured face photo; and (b) appearance observations generated from the photo, such as visible facial structure, symmetry, jawline and chin presentation, skin presentation, hair and grooming context, scan quality, feature scores, an overall score, and progress observations.

Facely does not create or store a face-recognition template, Face ID profile, identity embedding, facial landmark database, or biometric identifier used to identify or authenticate a person. Facely does not compare a face against a database of people.

7.2 Complete uses of face data

Face data is not used for advertising, tracking, eligibility decisions, identity verification, law-enforcement identification, or sale to data brokers.

7.3 Sharing and storage of face data

7.4 Retention and deletion of face data

Facely analyzes face photos to provide appearance-related feedback, including visible structure, grooming, skin presentation, hair/style context, scan quality, and routine suggestions. Facely is not designed to identify you, verify your identity, authenticate you, compare you against a database of people, or perform face recognition.

However, face photos can be sensitive personal data in many jurisdictions. You should only upload your own photo or a photo you have the right and permission to use. Do not upload a photo of another person without their permission.

8. Subscriptions, purchases, reinstalling, and what survives

Facely may offer paid subscriptions, such as weekly or yearly plans. Purchases are handled by the Apple App Store, Google Play, and/or subscription management infrastructure such as RevenueCat if enabled in the app.

8.1 What subscription providers may process

8.2 What happens if you delete and reinstall the app

8.3 Canceling a subscription

Deleting the app does not automatically cancel your subscription. You must cancel through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the applicable purchase platform. Subscription billing and refund rules are controlled by the platform where you purchased.

9. Device permissions

9.1 Camera

Camera permission is used only when you choose to take a face photo inside the app. If you deny camera permission, you can use the photo library option if available.

9.2 Photo library

Photo library permission is used only when you choose to select a photo from your device. We do not scan your full library. We use the image you select.

9.3 Notifications

Notification permission is used to schedule reminders for routines, to-do items, or membership-related prompts if enabled. You can disable notifications in your device settings.

9.4 Local storage

The app stores data locally so your dashboard, report, chat history, and to-do list remain available after closing and reopening the app.

10. How we use data

We use data for the following purposes:

11. Sharing and third-party processors

We do not sell your face photo, AI report, chat history, or onboarding answers. We may share or transmit data only as needed for the app features and operations described in this policy.

Provider or category Purpose Data involved
Cloudflare Transport proxy between the mobile app and OpenAI; protection of the server-side API credential. Face photo, onboarding answers, report context, and chat requests pass transiently through the Worker.
OpenAI AI report generation, progress comparison, AI Coach replies. Photo, onboarding answers, reports, recent chat messages, and relevant context after consent.
Apple App Store / Google Play Payment processing, subscription billing, purchase validation, restore purchases. Payment and transaction data handled by the store platforms.
RevenueCat or similar subscription infrastructure, if enabled Subscription entitlement management and restore support. Subscription status, app-user identifiers, transaction metadata, device/app metadata.
Operating system services Camera, photo picker, local notifications, local storage. Permission status, selected photo, reminder schedules, local app data.
Support tools Responding to emails, support messages, legal requests, or user questions. Information you choose to send to us, such as email, phone number, screenshots, or support details.

We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, government request, enforcement of our terms, protection of rights and safety, fraud prevention, or business transfer such as merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets.

12. Deletion, uninstalling, and data removal

12.1 Deleting the app

Because Facely currently stores the main app data locally, deleting the app normally removes locally stored Facely data from that device, including:

Some device backups may preserve app data depending on your operating system and backup settings. You can manage those settings through Apple, Google, or your device provider.

12.2 Deleting data from OpenAI

When you consent to AI processing, relevant data is transmitted to OpenAI. Requests to delete or exercise rights over data processed by OpenAI may be subject to OpenAI's policies, controls, retention rules, and legal obligations. You can contact us and we will help route your request where possible, but we do not directly control OpenAI's systems.

12.3 Contacting us for deletion

Because we currently do not maintain a Facely cloud database for your local reports or photos, there may be no server-side Facely record for us to delete. If you contacted support, we may have the support message you sent us. You can ask us to delete support correspondence where legally permitted by emailing support@venby.co.

13. Retention

14. International data transfers

OpenAI, app store providers, subscription infrastructure, email providers, and support tools may process data in countries other than where you live. Privacy laws in those countries may differ from your local laws. Where required, data transfers are handled under applicable legal mechanisms used by the relevant provider.

15. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, withdraw consent, or receive a copy of certain personal data. You may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority.

Because most Facely data is stored locally on your device, the fastest way to remove it is usually to delete the app or reset app data. For support records or questions, contact us at support@venby.co.

If your request involves data processed by OpenAI, Apple, Google, RevenueCat, or another provider, you may also need to use that provider's privacy tools or contact channels.

16. Children and users under 18

Facely is not intended for children under 13. Users under 18 should use Facely only with permission and supervision from a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has provided personal data through Facely without appropriate permission, contact us at support@venby.co.

17. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate for the app's current architecture. Local app data is stored using device app storage. However, no storage system, internet transmission, API provider, device, or operating system is perfectly secure.

You are responsible for securing your device, using device lock features, avoiding uploads of sensitive unrelated content, and keeping your operating system up to date.

18. AI limitations and user responsibility

AI-generated reports and AI Coach replies are probabilistic and may be incomplete, inaccurate, subjective, or affected by lighting, angle, image quality, facial expression, grooming, camera distortion, and other factors. Facely does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, psychological counseling, professional dermatology advice, nutrition plans, or surgical recommendations.

You should not rely on Facely for medical, mental health, legal, financial, or safety decisions. If you have medical or mental health concerns, consult a qualified professional.

19. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may notify you in the app, on this page, or through another reasonable method. The effective date at the top shows when this policy became effective.
