Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to GlowBoard ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and retain your personal information when you use the GlowBoard mobile application (the "App"). By using the App you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

  • Photos, including face data — images you add to a board, either taken with the App's camera or chosen from your photo library. These images normally show your face; see Section 3, Face Data, for our full face data collection, use, sharing, retention, and deletion practices.
  • Preferences — the aesthetics, goals, and style options you select within the App.
  • Anonymous device identifier — a randomly generated identifier used to associate your results with your device without collecting your name or email address.

3. Face Data

GlowBoard applies AI beauty and style transformations to photographs of you. We treat any facial imagery contained in the photos you submit as face data. This section is our complete statement of how we collect face data, every purpose we use it for, everyone we disclose it to, how long we keep it, and how you can delete it or withdraw your consent.

3.1 What face data we collect, and how

  • What we collect: the still photographs you add to a board. These images contain your face and may contain other identifiable imagery, such as your surroundings. We also store the AI-transformed versions of those images that the App generates for you.
  • How we collect it: either from the App's camera when you take a photo, or from your photo library when you explicitly choose an image. Nothing is captured while the App is in the background, we never scan your photo library, and nothing leaves your device until you ask the App to generate a look. iOS separately requires you to grant camera and photo-library permission, which you may revoke at any time.
  • What we do not collect: we do not create, derive, or store a faceprint, face template, face mesh, face geometry, or any other biometric identifier from your face. We do not use Apple's ARKit face tracking or TrueDepth face-mapping APIs, and we run no facial-recognition software. GlowBoard has no capability to recognize, match, or identify a person from a photograph, and we never attempt to.

3.2 All intended uses of your face data

We use your face data for the following purposes, and for no others:

  • To generate the AI beauty and style transformations you request in the App.
  • To store your boards and their images so that you can return to them in the App.
  • To answer a support request that you send us, and only so far as answering it requires.
  • To investigate abuse of the service, or to comply with a legal obligation.

We do not use your face data to identify or authenticate you, for facial recognition or biometric matching, for advertising, marketing, or profiling, or to train or fine-tune any artificial-intelligence model, whether ours or anyone else's. We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise monetize your face data, and we never will.

3.3 All disclosures of your face data — who receives it

Your face data is disclosed to exactly two service providers, each acting on our instructions and on our behalf:

  • Amazon Web Services, Inc. — stores your images in a private, access-controlled Amazon S3 bucket in the US East region so that the App can show you your boards. AWS provides storage and transport only; it does not analyze your images.
  • OpenAI, L.L.C. — receives your images through the OpenAI API in order to generate the transformed looks. Under OpenAI's API data usage policy, data submitted through the API is not used to train OpenAI's models, and is retained for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring before being deleted. See openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies.

Third-party protection commitment. Any third party with whom we share face data is contractually required to provide the same or equal protection for that face data as is stated in this Privacy Policy: to use it only to perform the service we have engaged them to perform, to protect it with at least equivalent security measures, and not to retain, disclose, sell, or use it for any other purpose.

We disclose face data to no one else. We do not share face data with advertisers, data brokers, social networks, employers, or insurers. We would disclose face data to a law-enforcement or government body only if compelled by valid legal process.

3.4 Face data sharing and retention

  • On your device: your boards and their images remain on your device until you delete them in the App or delete the App itself.
  • On our servers: we retain your face data for as long as you keep using the App, so that your boards stay available to you. We do not keep it for any other reason, and we delete it whenever you ask us to — see 3.5 below. It is held in a private Amazon S3 bucket that blocks all public access, and is transmitted only over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).
  • At OpenAI: retained for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring and then deleted, and never used to train models, under the policy linked in 3.3.
  • Your face data is stored in the United States. We do not include it in any dataset that is shared, published, or sold.

3.5 How to delete your face data, and how to withdraw your consent

  • Delete the copies on your device: delete an individual photo or an entire board inside the App, or delete the App, and the copies held on your device are erased.
  • Delete the copies on our servers: email us at contact@glowboard.xn--oke.com with the subject line “Delete my face data”. We will erase every photo and AI-generated image associated with you, within 30 days of the request and normally much sooner, and we will email you to confirm once it is done. There is no charge and you need not give a reason. The App has no user account, so we identify your data by the anonymous identifier your device sends with each request; if you tell us roughly when you used the App, we will locate and delete your records from that.
  • Withdraw your consent: you may withdraw your consent to our collection and use of face data at any time — by turning off the App's camera and photo-library permissions in iOS Settings, by simply not generating further looks, or by deleting the App. Withdrawing consent stops all further collection immediately. It does not by itself erase what we already hold; to erase that, send the deletion request above, which we will honor whether or not you still have the App installed.

4. How We Use Your Information

  • To generate AI beauty and style transformations from the photos you add to a board.
  • To store your boards so you can revisit them within the App.
  • To respond to your support requests.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your photos or results for advertising.

5. Third-Party Services

The App shares data with the following third-party services:

  • OpenAI, L.L.C. — receives your photos and selected style preferences to generate transformations. OpenAI's privacy policy: openai.com/privacy.
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) — provides cloud storage (S3) and identity services (Cognito) for securely transferring and storing your photos.

Each of these providers is contractually obligated to protect your data and to use it only for the purposes for which it was shared. Where the data shared is face data, each such third party is required to provide the same or equal protection for it as is stated in this Privacy Policy.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS) and access controls on our cloud infrastructure. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

  • Consent: You must explicitly consent to data sharing before any photo is submitted. You may withdraw that consent at any time — see Section 3.5 for exactly how, and for what withdrawing consent does and does not erase.
  • Access and deletion: You may request access to, or deletion of, your personal data — including all face data — by emailing contact@glowboard.xn--oke.com. We complete deletion requests within 30 days and confirm by email. See Section 3.5.
  • Camera and photo access: You may revoke camera or photo-library access at any time through your device Settings.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
