Privacy Policy

Last updated: 20 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the LookGrade iOS app (formerly FaceRate; "LookGrade", "we", "us") handles your information. LookGrade is designed to be private by default: your facial analysis runs entirely on your device.

1. Face data we access and generate

For this policy, face data means the face photo you choose to provide and the information generated from that photo. LookGrade accesses or generates the following face data:

• Input photo — a photo you take with the camera or select using Apple's photo picker.
• Temporary analysis data — a face bounding box, facial landmark and contour coordinates, head-position measurements, and cheek-region color and luminance samples.
• Derived results — an overall score, category scores, findings, an estimated face shape, and an estimated skin undertone.
• Comparison thumbnail — a locally stored JPEG copy reduced to no more than 480 pixels on its longest side for the before-and-after comparison feature.

LookGrade does not create or store a biometric identity template, does not perform facial recognition or identity matching, and does not use face data to authenticate a person.

2. How face data is collected and used

Face data is provided directly by you after you choose to take or select a photo. LookGrade uses Apple's on-device Vision framework to detect facial landmarks and uses local pixel sampling to calculate heuristic appearance scores and personalized self-care tips. Face data is used only to:

• perform the face analysis you request;
• display your score report and personalized tips;
• show local scan history and progress trends; and
• provide an on-device before-and-after comparison.

Face data is not used for advertising, tracking, profiling across apps or websites, facial recognition, identity verification, or training artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models.

3. On-device processing and storage

All face detection, landmark processing, pixel sampling, scoring, and tip generation occurs locally inside LookGrade's private app container on your device. LookGrade does not operate a server that receives face data.

• The full-resolution working copy of the latest input photo is stored in the app's private cache so the latest report can be displayed. A new scan removes the previous working copy.
• Comparison thumbnails are stored in the app's private Application Support directory.
• Scan dates, scores, findings, face-shape estimates, and undertone estimates are stored in the app's local preferences and history.
• Facial landmark coordinates, contours, bounding boxes, head-position measurements, and raw cheek pixel samples exist only in memory while a scan is being analyzed and are discarded when that analysis finishes. They are not saved to persistent storage.

4. Face data sharing and disclosure

LookGrade does not transmit or share face data with us or any third party. This includes input photos, thumbnails, landmarks, pixel samples, scores, findings, face-shape estimates, and undertone estimates. Apple's Vision framework executes on the device as part of iOS; LookGrade does not send Vision results to Apple or to an external service.

5. Face data retention and deletion

• Temporary analysis data: retained only in memory for the duration of the requested analysis, then discarded immediately after analysis completes.
• Latest full-resolution working photo: retained locally until the next scan replaces it, iOS purges the cache, you select Profile → Delete all data, or you uninstall the app, whichever occurs first.
• Comparison thumbnails and scan summaries: retained locally until you use Clear scan history or Delete all data, or uninstall the app.
• Latest derived result: retained locally until it is replaced by a later scan, you select Delete all data, or you uninstall the app.

Profile → Delete all data removes all scan history, saved face photos, thumbnails, and derived results from LookGrade's local storage and resets onboarding. This deletion is immediate and cannot be undone. Deleting the app also removes its local app container. LookGrade has no server-side copy to delete.

6. Camera and photo permission

LookGrade requests camera access only when you choose to take a photo. It uses Apple's photo picker when you choose an existing photo. Declining either permission prevents that capture method but does not cause LookGrade to obtain the photo by another means. You can revoke camera permission at any time in iOS Settings.

7. Subscriptions and RevenueCat

If you purchase a LookGrade Pro subscription, we use RevenueCat, Inc. to manage and validate the purchase. To do this, RevenueCat receives an anonymous app-user identifier, basic device metadata, and the App Store purchase/receipt information — this is subscription metadata, not face data. RevenueCat does not receive your photos, thumbnails, facial landmarks, pixel samples, scan results, face-shape estimate, or undertone estimate. RevenueCat's handling of subscription data is described in the RevenueCat Privacy Policy. Payments themselves are processed by Apple under your Apple ID.

8. Other information and what we do not do

LookGrade stores app preferences, such as reminder settings and onboarding completion, locally on your device.

• No analytics or usage-tracking SDKs.
• No advertising or ad identifiers.
• No selling or sharing of personal data with data brokers.
• No accounts, logins, or profiles hosted on our servers.

9. Children

LookGrade is not directed to children. The app is intended for users aged 17 and older and should not be used by children.

10. Your rights

Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR/KVKK/CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since your scan data is stored only on your device, you can exercise deletion directly in the app. For any request related to data held by our subscription processor, contact us below.

11. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
