Privacy

The short version

Glancy has no accounts. Your photos, your scores, your reports and your posters are kept on your phone. To read a photo, the app sends it through Glancy’s server to a service called AILabTools, and Glancy’s server keeps none of it. We do not sell your data, show ads, or track you across other apps or websites.

Who we are

Glancy is published by Apphive Technologies, based in Bengaluru, India. For anything in this policy, write to support@apphive.tech.

What happens to your photo

Nothing is sent until you have an active plan and start an analysis. Then the photo goes from your phone to Glancy’s server, which passes it on to AILabTools once. The server does this so that it can check your plan and your daily limit first.

AILabTools analyses the face in the photo and returns the result: the scores and text of a face rating, and a poster picture. It receives the photo and nothing else about you: no name, no email, and no ID for you or your phone. AILabTools’ published policy says that a file uploaded this way is deleted as soon as processing finishes, and that it does not use such files to train its models. It also says a result picture is kept for at most 24 hours. That picture is your poster, which can include your photo, and the app downloads it to your phone straight away.

The best photo picker works the same way. Each photo you add is sent once, one after another.

Before any photo is sent, the app checks on your phone that it shows one clear face. That check uses Apple’s software on the phone and sends nothing anywhere.

The photo you choose before subscribing

The app lets you choose a photo before you see the plans. That photo is kept on your phone only. It is not sent to Glancy’s server or to anyone else unless you start a plan, and then it is sent once for your first face rating. You can change it or skip this step.

What Glancy's server keeps

Glancy’s server stores no photo, no score, no report and no poster. To apply the daily limit, it keeps a count of how many analyses were run on each day, stored against a one-way code made from the random ID described under Purchases. A count holds no photo and no result.

The server’s own records of its work say only what kind of analysis ran, whether it worked, how large the upload was and how long it took. They never include a photo or a result.

The server runs on Supabase. Like any hosting service, Supabase handles technical details of each request, such as your IP address, in order to deliver it. Read Supabase’s privacy policy.

What stays on your phone

Your photos, your scores, your reports, your posters and your comparisons are saved on your phone, so the app can show your past results and your progress. They are left out of iPhone backups, they are not copied to our server, and there is no sync between devices. This also means they do not move to a new phone.

“Delete all results” in Settings removes them. So does deleting the app.

Sharing a result

A share card or a poster is made on your phone and handed to Apple’s share sheet. It goes only where you choose to send it. It can carry your photo, so share it with that in mind.

Reminders

The weekly check-in is off until you switch it on, and iOS asks for your permission at that moment. Reminders are planned on your phone. No server is involved and nothing is sent to us.

Purchases

Subscriptions are handled by Apple. Glancy uses RevenueCat to confirm which plan you have. RevenueCat identifies your copy of the app with a random ID generated by the app, not your name or email. It receives your purchases of Glancy and basic technical details, such as the version of the app and of iOS. Glancy’s server asks RevenueCat about that random ID before it runs an analysis. Read RevenueCat’s privacy policy.

Camera and photos

Glancy asks for the camera only when you choose to take a selfie. Photos from your library are picked through Apple’s own picker, so the app sees only the ones you choose. It asks to add to your library only when you save a poster.

What we never do

• Create accounts, or ask for your name or email.
• Use your photo to identify you or anyone else.
• Show ads or sell your data.
• Track you across other companies’ apps and websites.
• Run analytics or advertising software inside the app.

Where data is handled

Apphive Technologies is based in India. Glancy’s server, AILabTools, RevenueCat and Apple may handle data in countries other than the one you live in.

Your choices and rights

You agree to how your photo is handled on a screen in the app before your first analysis. If you no longer agree, stop using the app and delete your results. Because your photos and results are on your phone, deleting them there removes them.

If you are in a place with data protection rights, such as the EU or the UK, you can ask us what we hold, and ask us to correct or delete it, by writing to support@apphive.tech. As our server stores no photos, scores or reports, there is little for us to hold, but we will tell you exactly what there is.

Age

Glancy is for adults aged 18 or older. The app asks you to confirm this before your first analysis. It is not directed at children, and you should not analyse a photo of a child.
