Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

Welcome to K-Pop Idol Look-Alike ("the Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the minimum amount of information necessary to operate the Service:

Facial image data: When you upload a photo or take a selfie, it is processed entirely within your browser using on-device AI (face-api.js). Your image is never uploaded to any server, stored, or shared.
Usage data: Like most websites, our hosting provider may collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. This data is used for security and performance monitoring only.

2. How We Use Your Information

To analyze facial features locally in your browser and return an idol match result.
To improve the performance and reliability of the Service.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties, except as described in this policy.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services which may collect data independently:

Google AdSense: We display advertisements provided by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out via Google Ads Settings.
Wikipedia REST API: Idol reference photos are fetched from the Wikipedia public API. This is a read-only request with no personal data transmitted.

4. Cookies

We do not set cookies directly. Google AdSense may set cookies to personalize advertisements. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

5. Children's Privacy

This Service is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

6. Data Retention

Because facial images are processed entirely on your device and never transmitted, we retain no biometric data. Standard server access logs are retained for up to 90 days.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
