Privacy Policy
This policy explains what happens to your photo and your data when you use AXL — what we process, what we store, and what we never keep.
Last updated · August 21, 2026
The short version
Your photo is used to generate your beauty analysis. If you use AXL without an account, nothing is stored on our servers — your photo and results stay in your browser for the session only. If you create an account, we save your analysis results (your beauty profile and score) so you can revisit them. By default we also keep the scan photo alongside those results, stored privately in your account and visible only to you — you can turn photo saving off anytime with the “Save my photos” switch on your profile.
Your photo
When you upload or capture a photo for a beauty scan, it is sent securely to our AI provider to be analyzed. That analysis step is transient: the provider uses the image to produce your results and does not retain it afterward.
Whether AXL itself keeps a copy depends on your account and settings. Signed out, the photo is held in your browser's memory only for the duration of your session and is cleared when you leave or refresh the flow. Signed in with “Save my photos” on (the default), a downscaled copy of each scan is saved to your account so you can revisit it; turn the setting off and new scans are not stored. Saved images live in a private storage area scoped to your account, are reachable only by you through short-lived signed links, and are deleted when you delete the associated analysis.
What we store
If you are signed in, we store the results of each analysis — the beauty profile fields, recommendations, and your overall score — linked to your account, so your history is available when you return. We also store the profile details and preferences you choose to enter on your profile page.
Images — your scan photos, any photos you add to your portfolio, and your profile picture — are stored only while “Save my photos” is on, and always in a private storage area scoped to your account (never a public location). With the setting off, we keep your results but not the images.
If you are not signed in, your results exist only in your current browser session, any portfolio photos stay on your own device, and nothing is sent to our servers.
Account & authentication data
If you create an account, we store your email address and authentication details through our identity provider (Supabase). If you sign in with Google, we receive basic profile information from Google to establish your account. Your active session is kept in your browser's local storage so you stay signed in, and is removed when you sign out.
Service providers
We rely on a small number of processors to run AXL: OpenAI analyzes your photo, Supabase provides authentication, the database that holds your saved results and profile, and the private storage for any images you choose to save, and Google is used only if you choose to sign in with it. Each processes data solely to provide these functions.
Your choices
You control whether your photos are kept: the “Save my photos” switch on your profile turns image storage on or off at any time. You can delete any saved analysis from your account page — which also removes its stored photo — and you can sign out to clear your session from this device. To request deletion of your account and all associated data, contact us at privacy@alkline.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as AXL evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date above.
