Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 16, 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how Forged 3D ("we", "us", "our") collects, processes, stores, and protects your personal data when you use our iOS application ("App"). We are committed to full transparency regarding how your photo, facial feature data, and other information are handled at every stage of our service. By using Forged 3D, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Data We Collect

We collect only the data necessary to provide and improve the Forged 3D experience. The following categories of data may be collected:

  • Facial landmark data captured via TrueDepth camera: When you use the scan feature, the App uses ARKit TrueDepth to capture a real-time 3D facial mesh on your device. This data consists of geometric landmark coordinates only and is processed entirely on-device. No photos or facial data are transmitted to any server.
  • Questionnaire responses: Information you voluntarily provide about your skin type, lifestyle habits, and personal appearance goals. This data is used to personalize your AI-generated analysis and recommendations.
  • Device and technical information: Device model, operating system version, app version, IP region, and diagnostic crash logs. This information is used solely to maintain service reliability and diagnose technical issues.
  • Usage analytics: Aggregated data about features used, session duration, and interaction events. This data is used in anonymized form to improve the product experience and does not identify you personally.

3. How We Process Your Data

All facial analysis is performed entirely on-device using ARKit TrueDepth. No photo or facial mesh data is uploaded to any server at any stage. Processing steps:

  1. TrueDepth camera captures a 3D facial mesh on-device.
  2. Geometric measurements are computed locally.
  3. Results are stored locally on your device only.
  4. For Pro users: only anonymized metric scores (not images or landmarks) may be sent to our AI summary service.

4. Biometric Data & Facial Analysis Disclaimer

Forged 3D processes facial features strictly to generate personalized appearance recommendations. We explicitly state the following:

  • We do not perform biometric identification of any kind.
  • We do not use facial data for identity verification or authentication.
  • We do not conduct facial recognition or match your image against any database.
  • We do not use facial data for surveillance, tracking, or law enforcement purposes.
  • Facial feature data is used solely to produce your in-app recommendations and is never linked to your personal identity.
  • We do not attempt to identify any individual from facial data, and such data cannot be used to determine a real-world identity.

5. Data Storage and Security

Forged 3D applies the following safeguards to protect your data:

  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between the App and our servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security).
  • No server storage of photos or facial data:All facial analysis is performed entirely on-device using ARKit TrueDepth. No photos, facial mesh data, or landmark coordinates are ever transmitted to or stored on any server.
  • Local-only result storage: Analysis results and any derived data are stored exclusively on your device and are not uploaded to or synchronized with our servers.
  • Access controls: Access to our processing infrastructure is restricted to authorized personnel only, under strict security policies.

6. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We share data only with the service providers listed below, strictly as necessary to deliver the App’s core functionality or to measure advertising performance.

6.1 Core Service Providers

  • OpenAI (OpenAI, L.L.C.): De-identified facial feature data and your questionnaire responses are sent to OpenAI’s API to generate personalized recommendations. Your raw photo is never shared with OpenAI. All data processed by OpenAI is subject to OpenAI’s Privacy Policy.

6.2 Third-Party Analytics and Advertising Attribution

To measure the effectiveness of our advertising and understand which channels bring people to Forged 3D, we use the following third-party SDKs:

  • TikTok Business SDK (TikTok Pte. Ltd.): Used for attribution of app installs and subscription events to our advertising campaigns. The SDK operates exclusively within Apple’s SKAdNetwork (SKAN) framework: Apple sends aggregated, anonymized postbacks to TikTok after an install or conversion event. We do not request access to your Advertising Identifier (IDFA), we do not display an App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt, and we do not engage in cross-app or cross-website tracking, fingerprinting, or any other personal-identifier-based tracking. Data the SDK receives is limited to:
    • App install and launch events
    • The fact that a subscription occurred (product, price, currency)
    • Aggregated SKAdNetwork postback values from Apple
    No scan data, photos, biometric measurements, age, or personal information is ever shared with TikTok. Learn more.
  • RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.): Used to manage in-app subscription state and validate App Store purchases. Receives an anonymous app-user ID, your subscription tier, and purchase events. Learn more.
  • Superwall (Superwall Labs, Inc.): Used to render and A/B-test our paywall. Receives an anonymous app-user ID and paywall interaction events (impressions, dismissals, purchases). Learn more.

6.3 Data We Never Share

We never share the following with any third party:

  • Your face photos or scan images (stored only on your device)
  • Your facial-landmark data (stored only on your device)
  • Your individual metric scores or composite indices
  • Your age, email address, or sign-in identifiers
  • Your questionnaire answers

6.4 Your Control

You can revoke our access at any time by deleting the App. Uninstalling the App stops all data collection by these SDKs.

6.5 Additional Providers

We may engage additional third-party providers for crash reporting and hosting infrastructure. All such providers are bound by contractual data processing agreements and are permitted to use your data solely to perform services on our behalf. We do not sell your data to data brokers and do not use it for behavioral profiling across unrelated apps or websites.

7. Advertising Identifier (IDFA)

We do not use the iOS Advertising Identifier (IDFA), and we do not collect any other personal identifiers for advertising purposes. You will not see an "Allow Tracking" prompt from this app. Our advertising attribution relies solely on Apple’s privacy-preserving SKAdNetwork (SKAN) postbacks processed through the TikTok Business SDK. We do not engage in cross-app or cross-website tracking, device fingerprinting, or behavioral profiling, and we do not share your personal data with advertising networks.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your country or region of residence, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

  • Access: Request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request that inaccurate or incomplete data be corrected.
  • Deletion: Request the deletion of personal data we hold about you.
  • Restriction: Object to or request restriction of certain processing activities.
  • Portability: Request a machine-readable copy of your data where technically feasible and legally required.

Because facial feature data and analysis results are stored exclusively on your device, you may delete them at any time by uninstalling the App or clearing its local data through your device settings. For all other data requests, please contact us using the information in Section 11.

9. Children’s Privacy

Forged 3D is not intended for use by persons under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information through the App, please contact us immediately at the email address below, and we will take prompt action to investigate and delete the relevant data.

10. Policy Updates

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable law. Where changes are material, we will provide notice within the App or by updating the effective date on this page. Your continued use of Forged 3D following any such update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
