PRIVACY POLICY

1. Introduction

Face2Bae ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our Service.

The Short Version: We collect your photo and basic info to make the app work. We use AI to generate hypothetical partner images and find matches. We don't sell your data. We don't use it for advertising outside this app. You can delete your data anytime.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide:

• Google Account Information: Name and email address (via Google OAuth)
• Photos: Photos you upload of yourself
• Preferences: Your selected matching category (IMDB, Congress, Forbes 30 Under 30)

Information We Generate:

• AI-Generated Images: Hypothetical partner images created by our AI
• Embeddings: Mathematical representations (vectors) of your uploaded photo and generated images, used for matching
• Match Results: Records of which profiles were matched to you

Automatically Collected Information:

• Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, time spent
• Device Information: Browser type, operating system, IP address
• Cookies: Session cookies for authentication and functionality

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to:

• Authenticate you via Google login
• Generate AI images of hypothetical partners
• Create embeddings for matching
• Find and display matches from our database
• Improve the Service's functionality and user experience
• Prevent abuse and enforce our Terms of Service

We do NOT:

• Sell your personal information to third parties
• Use your data for advertising outside this app
• Share your photos with other users without consent
• Train AI models on your uploaded photos (beyond generating your match)

4. How We Share Your Information

We share your information only in these limited circumstances:

Service Providers: We use third-party services to operate:

These providers process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights.

Business Transfers: If we are acquired or merged, your information may transfer to the new entity.

With Your Consent: We may share information for other purposes with your explicit consent.

5. Data Storage and Security

Where We Store Data:

Security Measures:

• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)

• Access controls and authentication
• Regular security updates

Data Retention:

• Active accounts: Data retained while your account is active
• Deleted accounts: Data deleted within 30 days of account deletion
• Generated images: Deleted when you delete your account or request deletion

However: No system is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data
• Correction: Update or correct your information
• Deletion: Delete your account and all associated data
• Opt-Out: Stop using the Service at any time

7. Third-Party Services

Google OAuth: We use Google for authentication. Google's privacy policy applies to information they collect: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Public Figure Database: Our matching database includes publicly available images of public figures. These images are sourced from public databases (IMDB, government websites, Forbes). We do not represent that these individuals have consented to be in our database.

8. AI and Algorithmic Processing

How It Works:

1. You upload your photo
2. Our AI generates a hypothetical partner image based on patterns in its training data
3. We create mathematical embeddings (vectors) of both images
4. We match against pre-computed embeddings of real people

Important Notes:

• AI-generated images may reflect biases in training data
• Matches are based on visual similarity in embedding space, not actual compatibility
• The AI has no knowledge of personality, values, or actual compatibility factors

9. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we discover we have collected information from a minor, we will delete it immediately.

10. International Users

Our Service is operated in the United States. If you access from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S., which may have different privacy laws than your country.
