How we use your photos and data

Standard camera check

Standard camera checks run on this device, and the full original photo isn't sent or saved elsewhere.

Optional AI analysis

Only when you choose AI analysis is a face-region image sent to Google Gemini or OpenAI for the current recommendation.

Research storage

If you choose research storage, up to 120 face-region images with labels and capture-quality information are kept in this browser. Separately consented pilot research data is kept on the server for 180 days by default.

Email reminders

Email reminder records include your email, consent-copy version, and send times. They become eligible for deletion within 30 days after you unsubscribe or the final reminder is sent.

Product and consultation links

When you open a retailer or consultation link, the link type, retailer, language, and location are stored on this device. A link click doesn't mean a purchase, and ARU doesn't store payment or order information.

If you record when you start a product, its ID, name, and start time are stored on this device for 2- and 4-week check-ins.

Deleting server records

Deleting data on this device doesn't delete email reminder or research server records. Use the link in a reminder email to stop emails, or ask the pilot operator to remove research data with your participant and session IDs.
