Zuri Technologies ("we", "our", or "us") operates the Zuri mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our App.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Personal Information
When you create an account, we collect:
- Email address - For account creation and authentication
- Password - Encrypted and stored securely
- OAuth information - If you sign in with Google or Apple: your email address and the sign-in provider's account identifier
1.2 Photos
When you use our AI hairstyle recommendation feature:
- Uploaded photos - Stored temporarily (24 hours) to generate hairstyle recommendations
- Generated images - AI-generated hairstyle images are stored until you delete them or they expire (24 hours for unsaved images)
- Saved favorites - Images you save to favorites are stored permanently until you delete them
When you use our AI hairstyle feature, your photo is sent to third-party AI providers (Google, Anthropic, and xAI) that analyze general facial attributes (such as face shape) solely to produce suitable hairstyle images. We do not perform facial recognition, identification, or biometric processing, and these providers do not use your photo to train their models.
1.3 Usage Data
- Device information - Device type, operating system version, app version
- Crash reports - When an error occurs, we use Sentry to diagnose it. We may collect technical details of the error, your device and app information, your account email and user ID, a screenshot of the app screen at that time (which may include your photo or a generated hairstyle), and diagnostic information about the app. This is used only to fix technical problems.
- Service usage - The number of hairstyle generations associated with your account, used to enforce your usage allowance
1.4 Face / Facial Data
Zuri does not collect or store biometric identifiers or faceprints and performs no facial recognition or identity verification. When generating hairstyles, our third-party AI providers transiently analyze general facial attributes (e.g., face shape) from your uploaded photo solely to recommend and render hairstyles. Any attribute analysis derived for this purpose is stored with the corresponding generation and is automatically deleted after 24 hours — or, if you save the result to Favorites, retained until you delete that favorite. This data is never used for identification, advertising, or profiling.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information for:
- Service provision - To generate AI hairstyle recommendations
- Account management - To create and manage your account
- Communication - To send you service-related notifications
- App improvement - To improve app features, reliability, and performance. We do not use your photos or any facial analysis to train AI models.
- Support - To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
- Security - To protect against fraud and abuse
3. Data Retention
- Uploaded photos - Deleted after 24 hours unless saved to favorites
- Generated images - Deleted after 24 hours unless saved to favorites
- Facial-attribute analysis - Stored with the corresponding generation; deleted after 24 hours unless the result is saved to Favorites, in which case retained until you delete it.
- Saved favorites - Stored until you delete them
- Account data - Stored until you delete your account. On deletion your account is deactivated immediately and scheduled for permanent deletion; you can restore it by signing back in within 30 days, after which it is permanently removed.
- Crash reports - Retained for 90 days for debugging purposes
4. Data Sharing
We do NOT sell your personal information. We share data only with:
- Service providers - Cloud hosting (AWS), crash reporting (Sentry)
- AI providers - To generate hairstyle images, your uploaded photo is sent to Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), and xAI (Grok). They process it under data-processing agreements and do not use it to train their models.
- Legal compliance - If required by law or to protect our rights
