Welcome to GlowStudio (the "App"). GlowStudio is created and operated solely by Selim Akbey ("I," "me," or "my"). Your privacy matters—my guiding principle is local‑first, zero‑collection: personal data never leaves your device unless you explicitly request an AI feature that requires a one‑time external call. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains precisely what happens (and, more importantly, what does not happen) with your information.
If you do not agree with this Policy, please uninstall the App.
| Topic | Summary |
|---|---|
| Who runs GlowStudio? | A single independent developer—Selim Akbey. |
| Where is data stored? | On your device only. I run no servers and keep nothing in the cloud. |
| When is data transmitted? | Only when you tap an AI feature. The image and prompt go straight from your phone to OpenAI via AIProxy over TLS 1.3, then are discarded. |
| Ads / analytics? | None. No SDKs, no fingerprinting, no IDFA/GAID. |
| Payments? | Apple In‑App Purchase; I receive anonymous entitlement tokens. |
| Delete data? | Delete items in‑app or uninstall GlowStudio to wipe everything. |
| Contact? | [email protected] |
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| "Personal Data" / "Personal Information" | Any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. |
| "Processing" | Any operation on Personal Data—collection, storage, use, transmission, deletion, etc. |
| "Local‑first" | Architecture that keeps all user data on‑device by default. |
| "Zero‑collection" | The App does not transmit Personal Data to the developer’s infrastructure. |
| "AIProxy" | Lightweight relay that forwards encrypted requests to OpenAI; it does not store data. |
This Policy applies to your use of GlowStudio worldwide. By installing or using the App you consent to the Processing described here. You may withdraw consent at any time by deleting the App; Processing that occurred before withdrawal remains lawful.
GlowStudio handles three narrow data categories:
| Category | Stored On Device | Sent to Third‑Party? | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Images (Face/Skin photos) | Yes (encrypted iOS File Protection) | Yes – transient to OpenAI via AIProxy only when you request AI analysis | Generate color‑season classification and skincare recommendations | Auto‑deleted from RAM after analysis; remain in your photo history until you delete them |
| Routine Logs & Notes | Yes | Never | Track progress, show charts locally | Until you delete in‑app or uninstall |
| Entitlement Tokens (non‑personal) | Yes | Apple & RevenueCat (non‑identifiable) | Verify subscription status | Until subscription expires + 30 days, then iOS removes cache |
