Privacy Policy — Headshot Studio

Effective date: July 7, 2026

Headshot Studio is built to need as little of your data as possible. This policy explains exactly what happens to your photos and information when you use the app.

No accounts

Headshot Studio has no login, no sign-up, and no user profile. We don't collect your name, email address, or any contact information.

Live coaching — on-device, always

The camera feed used for live coaching (framing, lighting, distance guidance) is processed entirely on your iPhone. It is never transmitted, uploaded, or shared. Photos you capture stay on your device unless you choose to use Studio Retouch (below).

Studio Retouch — opt-in, ephemeral

Studio Retouch is a feature you choose to use. When you do:

• You select two of your own saved photos.
• Those two photos are sent over an encrypted (TLS) connection to our processing service, which is a Cloudflare Worker that calls OpenAI's image API.
• The photos are used solely to generate your single retouched studio headshot.
• The photos are held in memory for that one request only and deleted immediately afterward. They are not stored, logged, or retained by us, Cloudflare, or OpenAI.
• Your photos are never used to train any AI model — ours or a third party's.
• A consent screen explains this before your first upload, every time you use the app for the first time.

If you don't use Studio Retouch, no photo ever leaves your device.

The anonymous credit token

To keep track of your Studio Retouch credit balance (for example, credits included with Studio Pro or purchased in a pack), your device generates a random token. This token:

• Is generated on-device and is not derived from any hardware identifier.
• Is not your name, email, Apple ID, or any other identity information.
• Is used only to link a purchase to a credit balance in our system.
• Is never shared with advertisers, analytics providers, or any other third party.

We retain only the token and its associated credit balance — nothing else. There is no way for us to connect that token back to you personally.

Purchases

All purchases (Studio Pro, Studio Retouch packs) are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment details, card numbers, or billing information.

What we don't do

• No analytics SDKs of any kind.
• No advertising or ad networks.
• No tracking, and no data is ever sold to anyone.
• No third-party sharing beyond the minimum needed to run Studio Retouch (Cloudflare and OpenAI, described above).

Permissions

• Camera — used only for live coaching and capturing your photos. Never accessed in the background.
• Photo Library (add-only) — used only to save your finished headshots to your library, if you choose to save them. We never read your existing photo library.

Data retention

• On-device photos: retained on your device under your control; we have no access to them.
• Studio Retouch uploads: deleted immediately after processing — retained for the duration of a single request, at most.
• Credit ledger: an anonymous token paired with a numeric credit balance. No photos, names, or identifiers are stored alongside it.

Children's privacy

Headshot Studio is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the effective date above will be updated. Material changes will be reflected in the app's release notes.
