Privacy Policy

1. Our Privacy-First Approach

FrownAway is designed with privacy as a core principle. Unlike many facial analysis applications, we process all data locally on your device. Your webcam feed and facial analysis results never leave your browser.

2. What Data We Process Locally

The following data is processed entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers:

• Webcam feed: Used for real-time facial expression analysis
• Facial landmarks: Detected points on your face to analyze expressions
• Calibration data: Your personalized baseline expressions stored in browser localStorage
• Usage statistics: Frown counts, streaks, and session data stored locally

3. What Data We Collect

We collect minimal data to improve our service:

• Analytics data: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website (page views, device types, general location). This does not include any facial data.
• Contact information: If you contact us, we collect your name, email, and message content to respond to your inquiry.

4. How We Use Your Data

• To respond to your inquiries and support requests
• To improve our website and service based on aggregate analytics
• To send important updates about the service (if you opt in)

5. Data Storage

Local Storage: All facial analysis data, calibration settings, and usage statistics are stored in your browser's localStorage. This data remains on your device and can be cleared at any time through the app's settings or your browser settings.

Our Servers: We only store contact form submissions and aggregate analytics data. We do not store any facial images or analysis results.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics: For website analytics (you can opt out using browser extensions)
• MediaPipe: Google's face detection library that runs entirely in your browser
• Vercel: Our hosting provider for the website

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Clear all locally stored data at any time through the app
• Request deletion of any contact information we have
• Opt out of analytics tracking
• Access any personal data we hold about you

8. Children's Privacy

FrownAway is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page.
