Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 14, 2025 • Effective: December 14, 2025

Introduction

At ScalpSync ("we", "our", or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered scalp analysis service ("Service").

By using ScalpSync, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies, please do not use the Service.

Information We Collect

Scalp Images

When you use our scanning feature, we temporarily process images of your scalp to provide analysis. For Guest Users, images are processed in real-time and deleted within 24 hours. For Registered Users, images are stored securely until you delete them.

Account Information

If you create an account via Magic Link, we collect only your email address for authentication. We do not require passwords or personal details like name or address.

Device & Usage Data

We collect anonymous, aggregated data including device type, browser type, feature usage patterns, and error logs to improve our service. This data cannot identify you personally.

Payment Information

If you subscribe to Premium, payment is processed securely by PayPal. We never store your credit card details on our servers.

🔒 Zero Training Promise

We never use your photos to train AI models. Period.

Your scalp images are processed by our AI (OpenAI GPT-4o Vision) for analysis purposes only. They are never used to train, fine-tune, or improve any machine learning models—ours or anyone else's.

We maintain a database field consent_to_train = FALSE by default for all users, and this setting cannot be changed.

How We Use Your Information

  • To provide AI-powered scalp condition analysis
  • To match products to your scalp condition and identify ingredient conflicts
  • To save your scan history and track progress over time (registered users)
  • To send you important service updates and notifications
  • To improve our service quality, fix bugs, and develop new features
