Effective Date: 2026.06.24
This Privacy Policy explains how Yawei Xu (“Yawei Xu”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), as the developer of Kore, collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects your information when you use our mobile application, products, and related services collectively referred to as the “Service”.
By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Service.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect or process the following categories of information depending on how you use the Service.
1.1 Account Information
When you create an account, sign in, or use certain features, we may collect information such as:
- Nickname or username;
- Email address;
- Mobile phone number, if required for registration or verification;
- Login credentials or account identifiers;
- Profile information you choose to provide.
You may choose not to provide certain information, but this may limit your ability to use some features of the Service.
1.2 User Content
When you use the Service, you may choose to provide, enter, upload, generate, or save certain content, such as text, images, screenshots, preferences, feedback, or other materials.
We process such content only as necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Service, respond to your requests, and support the features you choose to use.
1.3 Photo and Visual Content Analysis
When you use certain image-based features of Kore, you may choose to take, upload, select, or provide photos, images, screenshots, or other visual content from your device.
Some visual content may include a face or face-related information. For these features, Kore may process face-related data that is visible in the image, such as face position, facial contours, facial landmarks, face shape, hairline, eyebrow area, beard area, and other visible appearance attributes needed to generate style suggestions.
Kore uses this face-related data only to provide the specific feature selected by the user, including recommending or previewing suitable beard styles, eyebrow styles, hairstyles, or other appearance-related suggestions for reference purposes. Kore does not use face-related data to identify a user, verify identity, authenticate an account, track a person, or enable face recognition.
All photo, visual content, and face-related analysis is performed on the user’s device. Kore does not upload photos, images, screenshots, visual content, face-related data, facial landmarks, face geometry, or analysis results to our servers for analysis.
Kore does not use third-party AI service providers to process photos, visual content, or face-related data. Kore does not share face-related data with third parties.
Kore does not create, collect, store, or retain facial recognition templates, faceprints, biometric identifiers, biometric templates, or similar biometric data for identification or authentication purposes.
Face-related data used for style matching is processed temporarily on the device only for the purpose of generating the selected in-app result. Unless the user chooses to save an image or result on their device, Kore does not retain the original photo, face-related data, or analysis result after the feature session ends. Any image or result saved by the user is stored locally on the user’s device and may be deleted by the user at any time.
Kore does not use photos, images, screenshots, visual content, face-related data, or analysis results to train AI models.
Kore does not use photos, images, screenshots, visual content, face-related data, or analysis results for advertising, cross-app tracking, or advertising profiling.
1.4 Camera and Photo Library Access
With your permission, Kore may access your device camera or photo library so that you can take, select, or provide images for the features you choose to use.
You may disable camera or photo library access at any time through your device settings. If you disable these permissions, certain image-based features may not be available.
1.5 Local Storage and History
If the Service provides history, saved results, drafts, or similar features, your photos, visual content, and analysis results are stored locally on your device.
We do not store these photos, visual content, or analysis results on our servers.
You may delete locally stored photos, visual content, analysis results, or history through the app features, if available, or by deleting the app from your device.
Please note that whether deleting the app removes all locally stored content may depend on your device system settings, backup configuration, or operating system mechanisms.
