Privacy Policy & Disclaimer
Effective date: January 1, 2025 · Last updated: June 2025
This website, My Face Shape Detector (myfaceshapedetector.com), is owned and operated by MBP Ventures Holdings, LLC, a limited liability company. By using this site you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.
1. Who We Are
MBP Ventures Holdings, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates My Face Shape Detector, a free AI-powered tool that analyzes facial photographs to identify face shape and provide personalized style recommendations. Our registered business address is on file with the relevant state authority. For privacy inquiries contact us at our contact page.
2. What Data We Collect
When you use our face shape detector we collect:
- Your photograph — uploaded by you for analysis. See Section 3 for how it is handled.
- IP address — logged automatically for security and abuse prevention.
- Browser / device information — user agent string collected with each request.
- Detection result — the face shape classification returned by our AI (e.g., "oval") stored in our database alongside your IP address for analytics.
- Usage data — aggregate statistics such as number of scans and API costs. No personally identifiable information is included in these aggregates.
We do not collect your name, email address, or any account information unless you voluntarily contact us through our contact form.
3. How We Handle Your Photo
Your uploaded photograph is transmitted securely over HTTPS to our servers and forwarded to OpenAI's API for AI analysis. Your photo is retained for a maximum of 30 days on secure Amazon Web Services infrastructure, solely to allow MBP Ventures Holdings, LLC to review results and improve the accuracy of the service. Photos are automatically and permanently deleted after 30 days and are not accessible to the public at any time.
We do not use your photo to train AI models, share it with advertisers, or disclose it to any third party other than OpenAI for the sole purpose of performing the analysis you requested.
Important: You must only upload photographs of yourself. Do not upload photographs of other people without their explicit consent. Do not upload photographs of anyone under the age of 18.
4. OpenAI Data Processing
Our face shape analysis is powered by the OpenAI API (GPT-4o Vision). When you upload a photo, it is transmitted to OpenAI's servers for processing. OpenAI processes this data in accordance with their own Privacy Policy and API Data Usage Policies. OpenAI states that API inputs and outputs are not used to train their models by default.
By using this tool you acknowledge that your photo is being transmitted to OpenAI, a third-party service provider located in the United States, for processing.
5. Amazon Web Services
This website is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in the United States. Server logs, including IP addresses, may be retained by AWS in accordance with their Privacy Notice.
6. Cookies & Tracking
We use session cookies necessary for the secure operation of this website (CSRF protection, session management). We do not currently use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or third-party analytics services that identify individual users.
7. Children's Privacy
This service is intended for users 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect data from or about children under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted a photo through this service, please contact us immediately and we will take appropriate action. Facial data of minors may be subject to heightened protection under applicable law, including COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act).
8. Biometric Data Notice
Certain U.S. states (including Illinois, Texas, and Washington) have laws governing the collection of biometric identifiers, which may include facial geometry data. Our tool analyzes photographs to infer general face shape categories for styling purposes only. We do not extract, store, or create biometric identifiers or templates from your photo. Photos are deleted immediately after analysis as described in Section 3.
9. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect about you
- Request deletion of your personal information
- Opt out of the sale of your personal information (we do not sell personal information)
- Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights
To exercise these rights, contact us through our contact page. Note that because we do not store your photo and do not collect account information, we may not be able to identify you in our records without additional information.
10. GDPR (European Users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, our legal basis for processing your data is your consent (provided by using the tool) and our legitimate interest in operating and improving this service. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port your personal data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Contact us to exercise these rights.
11. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data, including HTTPS encryption in transit and access controls on our infrastructure. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
