I'd love to hear your thoughts

What do you do with the pictures? The privacy policy is a bit circular.

Privacy

> User data, including uploaded photos, may be collected and processed to provide the Service. Refer to our Privacy Policy for details on data collection, storage, and usage.

The uploaded photos are used for the purpose of recommending hairstyles

You also say that you're not limited to just using them for that purpose

> We use the collected information to provide and improve our Service, including but not limited to face shape analysis and hairstyle recommendations.

Something like this really needs a robust privacy policy answering questions like:

- is my photo visible to you, the developer?

- will my photo ever be shown to other users?

- will my photo be used to train your recommendation algorithm?

- how long will my photo be retained for?

Thank you very much for the feedback
