Glowlarp uses your selfie to suggest haircuts and show them on your own photo. We collect only what the app needs to do that, we never sell your data, and you can delete everything from inside the app at any time.
Glowlarp is run by Shantanu Mishra, an individual developer based in India ("we", "us"). Contact: glowlarp.app@gmail.com.

When you add a selfie, our AI estimates your face shape and facial features to suggest haircuts and create try-on images. We use this only to provide those features. We do not use it to identify you, recognise you in other photos, or build a face-recognition profile. We ask for your explicit consent before your first photo is processed. You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting your data in Settings.
Only upload photos of yourself. Do not upload photos of other people or of anyone under 18.
We use these service providers. They may only use your data to provide their service to us.
| Provider | What they do | Data they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Convex | Our database and file storage | All the data listed above |
| Clerk | Sign-in and account security | Account details, technical data |
| Google (Gemini API) | The AI that analyses your photo, creates try-on images and powers the AI Stylist | Your photos, analysis requests, Stylist messages |
| RevenueCat | Records in-app purchases | Your user ID and purchase details |
| Apple and Google | App stores, payments and Sign in with Apple or Google | Under their own privacy policies |
We send requests to Google's Gemini API through a paid account with request storage turned off. Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Our database and file storage (Convex) are hosted in the United States (US East, N. Virginia).
Glowlarp is for adults 18 and older only. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has used Glowlarp, email us and we will delete their data.
We use encrypted connections, private storage for your photos and limited access to the data. No system is perfectly secure, so we can't promise that a breach will never happen. If one affects you, we will tell you as the law requires.
We will update this policy when the app changes. If a change is important, we will tell you in the app before it applies.
