2. Purposes of processing personal information

3. Retention and use period

4. Processing entrusted to service providers and overseas transfers

The Company (United States) entrusts the storage and processing of personal information to the service providers below.

Service providerEntrusted serviceNotes
Google Cloud (Google LLC)Cloud servers and data storage (Seoul region)Overseas servers (United States) may be used during authentication (Firebase) processing. Photos and generated images of the AI Portrait are stored in the Seoul region, and generation may run on GPU servers overseas (Section 10)
Google (AdMob)In-app advertisingThe advertising identifier is used when tracking consent is given
Google Firebase (Google LLC)Sign-in authentication, storage of some app feature data (Cloud Firestore), file storage (default bucket)United States (Firestore nam5 multi-region, default bucket US multi-region)

Overseas processing for optional features (hair generation and AI beauty analysis)

5. User rights

Users may view and edit their personal information at any time in the app settings and may request deletion of their personal information by deleting their account. Notification and tracking consent may be withdrawn in the device settings. Personalized ads can be turned on or off at any time in My > Settings > Personalized ads (Section 7). Photos and generated images of the AI Portrait can be deleted in My > Settings > AI Portrait library and deletion (Section 10). If you withdraw your face information consent (My > Settings > Face information consent) or your consent for a feature that uses face photos (AI Portrait, hair generation, AI beauty analysis and the 3D face scan for eyewear and sunglasses), the Company stops that processing at once and keeps the photos, scan photos, generated results and analysis results made under that consent separately for 30 days so that you can ask to restore them, and then destroys them. 3D face scan photos are destroyed earlier if 90 days from the scan come first. During this period they are not used for any other purpose; if you ask to restore them within the period, we ask for your consent again and restore them. For users in Indonesia, the default is immediate deletion on withdrawal, and you may choose 30-day retention instead. Posts you published yourself (such as in Explore) must be deleted by you.

6. Destruction procedures and methods

When the retention period expires, electronic files are deleted using methods that prevent recovery, and other records are shredded or incinerated.

7. Advertising and processing of personal information for advertising

  1. The Company may display advertising sold directly by the Company (brand-sponsored product cards and banners) and advertising from third-party ad networks (Google AdMob) in the app. Every ad carries an “Ad” label and the advertiser’s name.
  2. Contextual advertising (default): ads are selected based only on the screen being viewed and the product category. No assessment results or behavioral information are used.
  3. Personalized advertising (optional): only when the user turns on My > Settings > Personalized ads, the personal color and temperature assessment result codes (season, tone, temperature) are used to select ads. It can be turned off at any time on the same screen; once off, only contextual ads are shown immediately and the ad-click records stored on the device are deleted.
  4. Information processed and how: impression, click, and conversion records do not store the member identifier itself — only a pseudonymized value produced by a one-way hash (HMAC), ad and product identifiers, and timestamps. Advertising identifiers (IDFA/GAID), email addresses, and contact details are not used for the Company’s own advertising.
  5. Information provided to advertisers: advertisers receive only aggregated performance (impressions, clicks, conversions, rates, and spend). No individual member information, pseudonymized values, or device information is provided, and reach figures below 50 people are not displayed.
  6. Conversion reports from advertiser servers (postback): advertisers report conversions such as purchases on their own services using only the click identifier (clickId) issued by the Company. No member information is exchanged in this process.
  7. Retention: impression, click, and conversion records are deleted after 90 days or kept only as statistics. Aggregated ledgers needed for billing are retained for the period required by applicable laws.
  8. Ad-free subscription: members whose subscription includes ad removal are shown neither third-party advertising nor the Company’s directly sold advertising.
  9. Processing by third-party ad networks (AdMob) continues to follow the other provisions of this Policy (tracking consent, ATT).

8. Children’s personal information

The Company does not collect personal information from children under the minimum age at which a person may consent to the processing of their personal information without a parent or guardian in the country where they live (for example, 14 in Korea, 13 in the United States and the United Kingdom, 15 in France, 16 in Germany, and 16 when the country is unknown). Features that process or store face information on our servers (photo AI features such as the AI Portrait, AI beauty analysis and hair generation, and the 3D face scan for eyewear and sunglasses) check your date of birth against this age and ask for face information consent before use, and cannot be used below it. Virtual try-on that calculates face information only on your device and does not send it to our servers or store it (real-time makeup, lenses and hair color, on-device photo try-on and similar) can be used without an age check.

Annex — minimum age by country (the same values the server uses for age checks). For other countries, or when the country is unknown, the minimum age is 16.

10. AI Personal Color Portrait service

The AI Personal Color Portrait (the “AI Portrait”) is an optional feature that creates portrait images for each personal color type from one face photo uploaded by the user, and it is provided through per-type tickets. The following applies only when you use this feature. The Company processes your photo only after obtaining the four required consents in the app (photo processing, retention, confirmation that the photo is your own, and age confirmation). You can still use the rest of the service if you do not consent.

  1. Information processed and purposes
    InformationPurpose
    One face photo uploaded by the user (a copy from which the server has removed additional data such as location) Creating and delivering the AI Portrait, safety checks, handling reports and inquiries
    Generated AI Portrait images (including the AI-generated label) Delivering results, the library, supporting save and share
    Selected look (woman or man) and type, and generation job records (status, time, failure reason) Providing the service, error handling, charging and releasing tickets
    Consent records (consent version, text hash, consented items, time)Confirming that consent was given
    Purchase and ticket records (store transaction number, product, number of tickets, time, usage and refund history) Verifying payments, granting and charging tickets, revoking tickets on refund, accounting evidence. Payment method details such as card numbers are handled by the app store and are not collected by the Company
    Report records (reason, text written by the user, outcome)Handling reports
    Administrator access and action records (reason, target, time)Access control and retention of access logs
  2. How the AI processes your photo; no use for training: Photos are processed only by AI that the Company operates itself (running on Google Cloud GPU servers) and are not sent to any external AI service provider. Your photos and generated images are not used for training or improving AI models, advertising, or marketing. Temporary working copies created on the AI server during generation are deleted as soon as the job ends. Only when it is strictly necessary to handle a report or an inquiry, an authorized staff member may view the image after entering a reason, by default on a blurred screen; no download function is provided and every access is logged.
  3. Handling of facial information: The Company only checks that the photo contains one face and that the size and orientation of the face and the sharpness and brightness of the photo are suitable, and it does not store these values. The Company does not create or store facial feature information (biometric information) for the purpose of identifying a specific individual, and does not use it for comparing faces between photos or for identity verification.
  4. Retention period and destruction
  5. Entrusted processing and overseas transfers
    Service providerEntrusted serviceProcessing location
    Google Cloud (Google LLC)Storing photos and generated images, AI Portrait generation (GPU servers), operating the service servers and databaseRepublic of Korea, Seoul region (asia-northeast3)
    Google Cloud (Google LLC)AI Portrait generation (GPU servers)Singapore (asia-southeast1), United States (us-east4), Belgium (europe-west1), the Netherlands (europe-west4)

    Photos and generated images of the AI Portrait are stored in the Seoul region (Republic of Korea) of the processor above. To deliver portraits as soon as they are ordered, generation may be processed overseas as follows.

    Overseas use during authentication (Firebase) is as described in Section 4. Payments in the app stores are processed by Apple and Google; at purchase, the store receives an account-binding value derived one-way from the user identifier, and the Company queries the store servers to verify transactions and check refunds.

  6. Automated checks: Whether a face is recognized in the photo, whether it meets the safety standards (such as sexual or harmful imagery), and whether the quality of the generated result meets the standard are checked automatically by AI and algorithms. A photo or result that does not pass may not be provided, and in that case no ticket is charged. If you object to a result, you can contact the privacy officer in Section 9.
  7. Notice that the images are AI-generated: AI Portrait images are created by generative AI. Every result image carries an AI-generated label on the image and in the file information (metadata), which the user cannot turn off. Results may differ from reality.
  8. User rights and how to exercise them: In My > Settings > AI Portrait library and deletion, you can view your portraits, delete them one by one, or delete all of your photos and portraits; deleting everything also withdraws your consent. Refusing or withdrawing consent does not disadvantage you in using other services, and you must consent again to create a new AI Portrait. For other requests to view, correct, delete, or suspend processing, contact the privacy officer in Section 9.
  9. Security measures: Photos and portraits are stored encrypted in private storage that cannot be reached from outside, and an access address valid for a short time (60 seconds) is issued only when you view them, after checking that you signed in recently. Administrator access requires entering a reason and keeping an access record, and access logs are stored and reviewed so that they are not forged or altered.
  10. Age: Only users who meet the minimum age set in the country where they live (for example, 14 in Korea) can use the AI Portrait, and age is confirmed before use (Section 8).

11. Notice of changes

We announce changes in the app and on our website at least 7 days before they take effect (30 days for important changes such as a change of operating company or new overseas transfers), with a before-and-after comparison.

12. Additional information for users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom

This Section applies when the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the UK GDPR applies to our processing of your personal information. The controller is ColorLover Inc. (contact: colorlovers2@colorloverinc.com). Our EU and UK representatives are listed in Section 9.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have balanced them against your rights, and you may object at any time (Art. 21). We do not process face photos on the basis of legitimate interests, and we do not use them to verify or identify you, to train AI models or for advertising. We do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you solely by automated processing.

In addition to the rights in Section 5, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. Send requests to colorlovers2@colorloverinc.com or to our representative. We answer within one month, extendable by two months for complex requests. You may complain to a supervisory authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office). Account information is needed to use the service; face photos and advertising information are optional, and refusing them only makes those features unavailable.

13. Transfers outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom

The Company is established in the United States and uses Google Cloud and Google Firebase (Google LLC) as processors. Your personal information is therefore processed in the places listed in Sections 4 and 10: the Republic of Korea (main database, photos and generated images), the United States, Singapore and, for some processing, Belgium and the Netherlands. AI beauty analysis runs on Google Vertex AI in the global location, where Google chooses the processing region. We protect these transfers as follows:

Photos and generated images are stored only in Seoul; overseas GPU and AI servers keep only working copies that are deleted when processing ends. You can ask for a copy of these safeguards at colorlovers2@colorloverinc.com or through our representative.
