Beauty Cosmetic Scanner is built so that your beauty profile stays yours. This policy explains exactly what the app stores, what it sends to our server, and what it never does.
What stays on your device
- Your care profile — name, skin and hair type, concerns, goals, allergies and preferences — is saved only in the app's local storage on your iPhone.
- Your scan history, saved products, recorded reactions and skin-score history stay on the device.
- None of this is uploaded to an account. We do not operate user accounts and we never ask you to register.
What is sent to our server, and why
Some features need analysis that cannot run on the phone. When you use them, the app sends the minimum needed over an encrypted connection to our Cloudflare Worker, which forwards it to our AI providers (Anthropic and, as a fallback, OpenAI):
- Product and ingredient scans — the photo you took, or the recognised ingredient text, plus the product name if you typed one.
- Face and hair scans — the photo you took, so it can be assessed for the visible indicators shown in your result.
- Care advice and the AI assistant — your question and the relevant parts of your profile (for example skin type and concerns), so the answer actually fits you.
- Language and country — so results and shopping links are returned in your language and for your region.
Photos and requests are processed to produce your result and are not stored on our server, not used to train models, and not linked to your name or to any identifier that would let us build a profile of you. Your name is never included in what is sent.
Ingredient data
Ingredient records come from Open Beauty Facts, an open database published under the Open Database License. Looking up a product sends only the product identifier or name to that service.
Purchases
Beauty Cosmetic Scanner Pro is sold through Apple's In-App Purchase. Apple handles the payment; we never see your card details. The app asks Apple whether a valid subscription exists in order to unlock Pro features.
What we do not do
- No advertising and no advertising SDKs.
- No selling or sharing of your data with data brokers.
- No third-party analytics or tracking across other apps and websites.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Your choices
- Edit or clear your profile at any time in Profile.
- Deleting the app removes everything it stored on your device.
- Camera and photo-library access is requested only when you start a scan, and can be revoked in iOS Settings.
