PRIVACY POLICY



Last Updated: February 25, 2026

1. INTRODUCTION



TruthScan AI ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our mobile application.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT



2.1 Facial Behavioral Data



When you grant camera permission and initiate an analysis session, our app:

  • Captures video recordings temporarily on your device during the analysis session (typically 15-30 seconds)
  • Processes video locally using on-device face detection technology (Google ML Kit) to extract behavioral metrics such as:
    • - Blink rate and eye openness percentages - Gaze movement patterns and stability - Smile probability and facial expression changes - Head position angles (pitch, yaw, roll) - Facial landmark positions (eyes, nose, mouth coordinates)

    Data We Do NOT Collect:
  • Face biometric identifiers (face prints, face templates, face embeddings)
  • Persistent user identity linked to facial data
  • Data for cross-app tracking or advertising purposes


    • On-Device Processing: All face detection and metric extraction is performed entirely on your device using Google ML Kit's local processing capabilities. Face data exists only in volatile memory (RAM) during the active analysis session and is never written to persistent storage. No face images, facial landmarks, or raw video data are transmitted to any server.

    Important: Video recordings and facial landmark coordinates are stored temporarily on your device ONLY during active analysis and are automatically and permanently deleted upon completion. Raw video never leaves your device. Our app does not perform biometric identification — it does not create, store, or compare face prints, face templates, or face embeddings that could be used to identify a specific individual.

    2.2 Audio and Speech Data



    When you grant microphone permission and initiate an analysis with audio:

  • Audio is captured from video recordings
  • Processed locally using Apple's on-device Speech Recognition framework to generate text transcripts
  • Audio files are immediately deleted after transcription
  • Speech transcripts may be transmitted to our AI analysis service as described in Section 2.3


    • 2.3 AI-Transmitted Data



    To provide behavioral analysis results, we transmit only numerical behavioral metrics (not raw video or images) to Google's Gemini AI service, including:

  • Approximately 20-30 numerical values per analysis (e.g., "blink_rate_per_minute: 18", "gaze_stability: 0.75")
  • Speech transcript text (if audio analysis was performed)
  • Analysis type and timestamp


    • This data is transmitted securely via HTTPS through a Cloudflare Worker proxy and is processed in real-time to generate your analysis results.

    2.4 Data We Do NOT Collect



  • Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
  • Location data
  • Contact information
  • Usage analytics or tracking data
  • Persistent user accounts or profiles


    • 3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION



    We use the collected facial behavioral metrics and speech transcripts solely to:

  • Perform real-time behavioral pattern analysis requested by you
  • Generate entertainment-focused analysis results using Google's Gemini AI
  • Display analysis results within the app
  • Provide core app functionality


    • We do NOT use your data for:
  • Advertising or marketing purposes
  • Cross-app tracking or user profiling
  • Training AI models
  • Any purpose other than providing the analysis you requested


    • Important Disclaimer: This app is designed for entertainment purposes only. Analysis results are not medically accurate, scientifically validated, or legally admissible.

    4. DATA SHARING



    4.1 Third-Party AI Service (Google Gemini)



    We share only derived numerical behavioral metrics and speech transcripts (not raw video or face images) with Google's Gemini AI service for analysis processing. Google processes this data according to their privacy policy and terms of service.

    What we share: Numerical metrics (blink rates, angles, probabilities), speech transcripts, timestamps What we DON'T share: Raw video, face images, biometric identifiers, personal identity information

    4.2 Infrastructure Services



  • Cloudflare Workers: Routes analysis requests securely via HTTPS proxy
  • RevenueCat: Processes in-app purchases (does not receive facial or behavioral data)
  • Firebase Remote Config: Delivers app configuration (does not receive user data)


    • 4.3 No Other Sharing



    We do not sell, rent, or share your facial behavioral data with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third parties beyond those listed above.

    5. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION



  • Video recordings: Deleted immediately after analysis completion (typically within 30 seconds)
  • Facial landmark data: Deleted immediately after analysis completion; exists only in volatile memory (RAM) during processing
  • Audio files: Deleted immediately after speech transcription
  • Numerical metrics transmitted to AI: Processed in real-time, not persistently stored by our systems
  • Analysis results: Stored locally on your device until you manually delete them via Settings


    • Face data is never stored beyond the active analysis session. No face images, facial coordinates, or facial landmark data persist on the device or on any server after the analysis is complete.

    User Control: You can delete all analysis history at any time through the app's Settings screen.

    6. DATA SECURITY



    We implement industry-standard security measures:

  • All video processing occurs locally on-device
  • HTTPS encryption for all network transmissions
  • No cloud storage of video or face images
  • Immediate deletion of temporary files after processing
  • No user authentication system that could link analyses to persistent identities
  • Bundle ID verification for API security


    • 7. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY



    Our app is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

    8. YOUR RIGHTS



    Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

  • Access: View what data we process (available in app via analysis history)
  • Deletion: Delete all analysis history via Settings
  • Objection: Decline camera/microphone permissions to prevent data collection
  • Withdrawal: Revoke permissions at any time via iOS Settings


    • 9. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY



    We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy within the app with an updated "Last Updated" date.

    10. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING (GDPR)



    For users in the European Economic Area, our legal basis for processing is:

  • Consent: You explicitly grant camera and microphone permissions
  • Contractual necessity: Processing is necessary to provide the app's core functionality you requested
