Privacy Policy

At PostureScan, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Information

• No Account Required: PostureScan does not require you to create an account or provide personal identifying information to use the app.
• No Facial Recognition: PostureScan does NOT collect, store, or process any facial recognition data or face biometric data. Our app uses body pose detection technology to analyze posture by detecting body joint positions only.

1.2 Posture Scan Data

• Local Storage Only: All images you capture for posture analysis are stored exclusively on your personal iCloud/CloudKit storage. We have no access to these images on our servers.
• Scan Results: Your posture scores, measurements, and progress tracking data are saved to your iCloud/CloudKit account and remain under your control.

1.3 Analytics Data

• Anonymous Usage Data: We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymized data about how you use the app, including responses from the initial onboarding questionnaire.
• Not Linked to You: This analytics data is NOT linked to your identity, email address, or any other personally identifiable information.
• Purpose: We use this data solely to improve the app experience and refine our exercise recommendations.

2. How We Process Your Scan Images

2.1 AI-Powered Analysis

To provide you with detailed posture insights, we temporarily send your scan images to the OpenAI API for processing:

• Temporary Processing: Your image is converted to a base64-encoded format and sent to OpenAI's servers for AI analysis.
• No Data Retention: According to OpenAI's API data usage policy, images sent through their API are NOT stored on their servers or used to train AI models. OpenAI has logging DISABLED for API requests, meaning there is no possible way for OpenAI to access or retain your scan images.
• Immediate Deletion: Your image is processed immediately to generate your posture analysis and then permanently discarded.
• Secure Transmission: All data transmission occurs over encrypted HTTPS connections.

3. Data Storage and Security

• iCloud/CloudKit Storage: All your personal data, including scan images, posture measurements, and exercise history, is stored in your personal iCloud/CloudKit storage.
• Apple's Security: Your data benefits from Apple's industry-leading security measures, including end-to-end encryption for sensitive data.
• Your Control: You maintain complete control over your data through your iCloud settings. You can delete your data at any time by removing the app and clearing your iCloud storage.
• No Remote Database: PostureScan does not operate a remote database or server where user data is stored. We cannot access your personal information or scan data.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

• We Do NOT Sell Your Data: PostureScan will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
• OpenAI API: Scan images are temporarily processed by OpenAI's API as described above, with no data retention.
• Firebase Analytics: Anonymous, non-identifiable usage data is collected through Firebase Analytics to improve the app experience.
• Apple: Your iCloud storage is managed by Apple's secure systems.
• No Other Third Parties: We do not share your data with any other third-party services, advertisers, or marketing companies.
