AI consent and face photo processing
This page explains what happens when AI try-on or clothing recognition from a photo is started.
When we send a photo to AI
A face photo is sent to AI only when the user starts try-on and accepts the consent shown next to the generate button.
For AI try-on, the provider receives the face photo and only the clothing photos shown next to the selected outfit. For AI vision, only the analyzed clothing photo is sent.
Why we process the photo
The purpose is to generate a preview image of the outfit or recognize basic clothing attributes: type, color, season, formality and style.
The result is not an identity document or guaranteed copy of appearance. The face may not be identical and the clothing description may need manual correction.
Consent scope
Consent covers a single AI preview generation or a single photo analysis. Later generations require another intentional user action.
The user can skip AI features and still use the wardrobe, outfit generator, planner and recommendations.
Retention and deletion
StyleMate AI does not save the face photo as a permanent app record on its own servers or database. The generated try-on preview is returned directly to the browser and stays only in the current session until replaced or refreshed - it is not written to app storage.
AI try-on and AI vision currently run on OpenAI's API. Under OpenAI's standard API data policy, request data (including submitted images) is not used to train OpenAI's models, and is retained by OpenAI for up to 30 days for abuse and safety monitoring before deletion, unless a longer period is required by law. This is the AI provider's own policy and may change - check the provider's current terms for the authoritative version. A Zero Data Retention account setting, where the provider offers one, further reduces or removes this window; production should request it when available.
Wardrobe photos the user uploads are stored in the app's own storage (not sent to AI unless used in a try-on or vision request) and can be deleted per item in the app. For full account export or deletion, use the contact details on the data contact page.
Data minimization
The app limits the number of reference images sent to AI and does not send the whole wardrobe to try-on.
Do not upload photos of other people without consent or photos containing sensitive background information.
Limits and safety
AI features are limited per account and across the whole app to reduce abuse and control costs.
Production uses shared Cloudflare counters, Turnstile where useful, and logs without prompts, photos, secrets or sensitive data.
