Skin AI Privacy

When you use Skin AI, your camera captures an image of your skin. That image stays on your device. It is processed locally by your browser. We do not upload it to a server. We do not store it. We do not share it. This page explains exactly how OVESSI handles your camera data, where processing happens, and what we choose not to do.

Local processing only

Skin AI runs entirely in your browser. When you position your face in the frame and capture an image, the analysis happens on your device. The image is never transmitted to OVESSI servers or any third party. Your browser performs the measurement work using algorithms loaded as part of the web application. This approach means your skin data remains under your control at all times. No network request carries your image beyond your screen. The analysis completes in seconds, and the result you see is generated without any external server involvement. This architecture is intentional. We designed Skin AI to respect the privacy of your skin and face by keeping the image where it belongs: with you. Local processing also means the tool works reliably regardless of network speed, because no upload is required. The image exists only for the duration of the analysis, then it is discarded by your browser. We do not cache it. We do not log it. We do not retain any copy. The design principle is simple: your skin image is yours alone.

What we do collect

While we do not collect your camera image, we do collect anonymous usage data about Skin AI interactions. This includes the time you used the tool, the ritual recommendations generated, and the reading zones displayed. We collect this data to understand how the tool performs and where we can improve clarity and accuracy. The data is not linked to your identity. We do not ask for your name, email, or account to use Skin AI. The tool is available without login or registration. Any data we gather is aggregated and used only to refine the experience for all users. We do not sell this data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it to build profiles or track you across other sites. The information helps us answer questions like: are users finding the tool helpful, are the recommendations clear, are there patterns in skin concerns that suggest we should adjust guidance. This is standard product analytics, kept minimal and anonymous. If you want more detail about our broader data practices, you can read our full privacy policy.

How long data is kept

Because we do not collect your image, there is no retention period for it. The image is processed and then immediately discarded by your browser. The anonymous usage data we collect is stored for up to two years, after which it is deleted. This window allows us to track trends over time and measure improvements to the tool. We do not hold onto data indefinitely. We review our storage practices regularly to ensure we are not keeping information longer than necessary. The goal is to gather enough insight to make Skin AI better while respecting your expectation that we are not building a permanent archive of your interactions. Storage is handled securely, with access limited to team members who need it for product development. We follow industry standards for data security and regularly audit our systems. If you have specific questions about data retention or deletion, you can contact us through the privacy policy page.

What it is not

Skin AI is not a surveillance tool. It does not identify you. It does not recognize faces. It does not compare your image to a database. It does not track you across visits unless you choose to create an account for other OVESSI features, and even then, the Skin AI image itself is never stored or linked to your account. We do not use your image for training machine learning models. We do not share your image with partners, researchers, or third parties. The tool is designed to give you a reading in the moment, then forget the image entirely. This is a deliberate choice. We believe skin analysis should be private by default. Your face is not data to be harvested. It is the surface we help you care for, and we handle that responsibility quietly and honestly.

We answer directly and honestly.

Common questions

Does OVESSI store my face image? No, the image is processed on your device and immediately discarded.

Can anyone else see my Skin AI result? Only if you choose to share it; we do not transmit or store the result in a way that links it to you.

Is Skin AI subject to the same privacy policy as the rest of the site? Yes, the same principles apply, but the tool itself collects even less data than a typical page visit.
