REQUESTS
To submit a verifiable consumer request for access, portability or deletion of personal data please contact us through the support@blowy.tech. Please include in the text of your appeal the wording "Your rights to maintain confidentiality in the state of California".
When submitting a verifiable request, you should be ready to:
- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include: name, address, city, state, and zip code and email address. We may use this information to surface a series of security questions to you to verify your identity.

SALE OF DATA
We do not sell any of your personal data to third parties. We do not sell your photos, and we do not use your photos for advertising.
II. INFORMATION WE PROCESS
There are several categories of information that can be processed.
Information That Is Processed Automatically
On the basis of your permission, we use third-party automatic data processing technologies (advertising or analytics tools) to analyze certain information sent by your device via our App (Identifier For Advertisers for iOS devices). Some integrated advertising or analytics tools (check Section IV to see the list of them) launch automated processing of your personal data, including profiling, which means any form of automated processing of personal data used to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to you, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning your personal preferences, interests, behavior, location or movements (see the list of data described below). Processing information through automatic data processing technologies starts automatically once you allow our App to track your activity. You can withdraw your permission at any time - please check opt-out options in Section VIII below.
We may process some information about your device and your user behavior on the ground of our legitimate interest. This information falls within categories of data described above in Subsection "Information That Is Processed Automatically", it is generally non-personal, i.e. it does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual, and we may access it only in aggregated form. We use this information for improving our App and giving our users the best experience.
- Device Details. When you use a mobile device (tablet / phone) to access our App, some details about your device are reported, including "device identifiers". Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device (but not your personality). Device identifier enables generalized reporting or personalized content and ads by the third parties.
What data can be processed:
➜ Information about the device itself: type of your device, type of operating system and its version, model and manufacturer, screen size, screen density, orientation, audio volume and battery, device memory usage.
➜ Information about the internet connection: mobile carrier, network provider, network type, IP address, timestamp and duration of sessions, speed, browser.
➜ Location-related information: IP address, the country code/ region/ state/ city associated with your SIM card or your device, language setting, time zone.
➜ Other device identifiers: e.g. user identifiers (if they are set up by the App's developer).
- Information about the applications. Name, API key (identifier for application), version, properties of our App can be reported for automated processing and analysis.
- Cookies and similar technologies. When you use the App, cookies and similar technologies may be used (pixels, web beacons, scripts). A cookie is a text file containing small amounts of information which is downloaded to your device when you access the App. The text file is then sent back to the server each time you use the App. This enables us to operate the App more effectively. For example, we will know how many users access specific areas or features within our App. We use this aggregated information to understand and optimize how our App is used, improve our marketing efforts, and provide content and features that are of interest to you. We may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services to the App, which may use cookies or similar technologies.
- Log file information. Log file information is automatically reported each time you make a request to access the App. It can also be provided when the App is installed on your device. When you use our App, analytics tools automatically record certain log file information, including time and date when you start and stop using the App, and how you interact with the App. This includes diagnostic and crash information that helps us detect and fix technical problems.
- Ad-related information. The following data might be reported about the ads you can view: the date and time a particular ad is served; a record if that ad was "clicked" or if it was shown as a "conversion" event; what the ad offer is about; what type of ad it is (e.g., text, image, or video); which ad placement is involved (where the ad offer is displayed within the App); whether you respond to the ad. This data supports attribution — understanding which marketing campaign led you to install the App.
- In-app events. When you use our App, analytics tools automatically record your activity information (taps, scrolls, screens you visited in the App, onboarding steps, the gender you select for the style gallery, the styles you choose, generations you start, payments, in-app purchases, custom events).
- Subscription details: information about all your subscriptions in the App (subscription start date, its duration, payment receipts); information about the accounts that you create when you get registered (if any); the number of currently connected devices; information about promo codes that you used for accessing the paid version of the App.
Information provided automatically to advertising or analytics tools does not generally come to our control, therefore we cannot be responsible for processing such information. Please mind that some services are engaged in personal data profiling and may obtain information related to your personality and/or your device by using technologies that do not belong to our scope of responsibility. In case when your user ID is linked to your Facebook / Google / Apple account, Facebook / Google / Apple may use your device information in association with categorized data that were already recorded in its databases (eg. your age, gender or other demographic indication). We do not control, supervise or stand surety for how the third parties process your personal data, that might be collected by their own means (not through our App). Any information request regarding the disclosure of your personal information should be directed to such third parties (see Section IV).
Payment Information
Our e-commerce provider (Apple) is responsible for billing, processing and charging for the in-app purchases and subscriptions, handles your personal information and keeps it absolutely safe and secure. This information is processed as part of the performance of the contract between you and us. We cannot access or use your credit or debit card information. You may access the applicable "in-app" purchase rules and policies directly from the App Store.
Selfies, Camera and Photos
The core function of the App is to show you how a different hairstyle or hair color would look on you. To do this, you provide a selfie — either captured with your device's camera or chosen from your photo library. You won't be able to take a selfie unless you grant our App access to your camera, and you won't be able to upload an existing image unless you grant access to your photo library. We request these permissions only for this purpose, and you can change them at any time in your device settings. We process the photo you provide solely to generate the hairstyle preview you request.
On-Device Face Detection
Before a photo is sent for generation, the App uses Apple's on-device Vision framework to check whether a human face is present in the image. This is a simple quality gate that prevents a generation from being started on a photo that has no visible face. This check runs entirely on your device, produces only a "face present / not present" signal, and is not stored or transmitted to us or to any third party. It is not facial recognition: it does not identify you, does not match you against any database, and does not create a face template.
No Facial Recognition or Biometric Identification
We do not use your photos to recognize, identify, verify, or authenticate you. We do not create, store, or share a faceprint, face geometry template, or any other biometric identifier for the purpose of uniquely identifying you, and we do not build a profile of you from your facial features. Facial imagery is processed only to render the hairstyle you asked to preview, and for no other purpose. We do not use your photos to train artificial-intelligence models, and we require the processing providers that render your result to use your images solely to deliver that result and not for their own purposes.
AI Generation and Processing
Generating a realistic hairstyle preview is computationally intensive and is performed on servers rather than on your device. When you start a generation, your selfie and the style you selected are transmitted over an encrypted connection to our processing backend and to a third-party artificial-intelligence image-generation provider acting as our service provider. The provider transforms the image to apply the selected hairstyle while preserving your appearance, and returns the result to the App. These providers process your image on the basis of an agreement and only to perform this service for us.
Generated Content
We may also process the content you generate within the App, namely the "after" images produced from your selfie with the selected hairstyle, and the before/after comparisons you create. You can save these results to your device and share them at your own discretion.
Push Notifications
If you allow notifications, we may send you push notifications (for example, to tell you a generation is ready, or about features and offers). We use a device push token to deliver them. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings.
Email communications
If you Sign In or create an account within the App, or otherwise provide us your email address, we may use that email address to send you communications (newsletters) regarding special subscription offers, new features and functionalities and other news related to the App on the grounds of our legitimate interest. Sending you newsletters will allow you to stay up to date and receive the latest news about our App, including about the best price offers. The information about your email address that we've received may be transferred to an email marketing tool for the purposes of optimization and automation of the email delivery process (please check Section IV to learn more about the tools' privacy policies and practices). You may unsubscribe, opt-out of receiving communications to your email address at any time by using the resignation link provided in each email you receive from us. Your unsubscribe request shall be honored within a reasonable period of time.
III. THE PURPOSES OF PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Our mission is to constantly improve our App and provide you with new experiences. As part of this mission, we use your information for the following purposes:
(a) To make our service available. We use functional information — including the selfie you provide and the style you select — to generate and deliver the hairstyle previews you request and to provide you with all other requested services.
(b) To improve, test and monitor the effectiveness of our App. We use the information that is processed automatically to better understand user behavior and trends, detect potential outages and technical issues, to operate, protect, improve, and optimize our App.
(c) To provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content. We may use the information that is processed automatically for marketing purposes (to show ads that may be of interest to you based on your preferences). We provide personalized content and information to you, which can include online ads or other forms of marketing. We do not use your photos for advertising.
(d) To communicate with you. We use the information we have to communicate with you through push notifications and newsletters, i.e. to send you service and marketing notifications, receive your feedback about our App experience, and let you know about our policies and terms. We also use your information to respond to you when you contact us.
(e) To prevent fraud and spam, to enforce the law. We really want our App to be free of spam and fraudulent content so that you feel safe and free. We may use your information to prevent, detect, and investigate fraud, security breaches, potentially prohibited or illegal activities, protect our trademarks and enforce our Terms of Use.
If any new purposes for processing your personal data arise we will let you know we start to process information on that other purpose by introducing the corresponding changes to this Privacy policy.

V. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
We work in the cross-border area and provide our App to our Users around the world.
We and third-party organizations that provide automatic data processing technologies for the App or our third-party advertising partners may transfer the automatically processed information across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.
If you are located in the European Union or other regions with laws governing data processing that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as in your jurisdiction.
This means that your personal information can be transferred to a third country, a territory or one or more specified sectors within that third country, or to the international organization where data protection and confidentiality regulations may not provide the same level of protection of a personal data as your country does.
We try to make sure that the recipient of any personal data provides a proper protection of the personal data received, in accordance with the current legislation on the protection of such information. By using the App, you agree that we may transfer your personal data to any third country, a territory or one or more specified sectors within that third country, or to the international organization.

If you no longer want us to use your information that we physically access and store, you can request that we erase your personal information and close your account.
Photos. We retain the selfie you upload only for as long as necessary to generate and deliver your hairstyle preview, and we delete it from our active processing systems once your result has been delivered, subject to routine, time-limited backups. Generated results that you save remain on your own device under your control until you delete them.
However, some data may still be stored for a certain time period (but no longer than the storage purpose requires) if information is necessary to comply with legal obligation (taxation, accounting, audit) or in order to maintain safety and data backup settings, prevent fraud or other malicious acts.
