Acne Analyzer Pro & Biometric Data

Our Acne Analyzer Pro (US) & Breakout Analyzer Pro (Global) (both referred to as a digital tool) tool uses a combination of machine learning tools and statistical algorithms to perform personalised skin analysis based on the facial scans you provide to us. Both these tool work by analysing these facial scans to provide you with personalised skincare insights and recommended skincare products designed to target any skin concerns that have been identified in our skin analysis.

If you choose to use our Acne Analyzer Pro or Breakout Analyzer Pro, your image will be used to provide the functionality of the tool. In some cases, you may choose to either allow access to your camera or upload a photo in order for the tool to complete a “face scan,” which occurs entirely on your own device and browser. The output of the analysis is used to visually display the results of the analysis and related services to you. The above may include the processing of your biometric data outside of your browser or device, such as where we partner with a third party that collects your biometric data for purposes of providing you with or facilitating the digital tool you are interacting with.

If you choose to save your image, facial scan, skin analysis data and any other information relating to your skincare profile to your myINKEY account, we will keep this information for the purposes of quality control and the development and improvement of our digital tool as well as providing personalised product recommendations to you. This information will be deleted upon request

Som biometric data may be shared with or directly collected by third parties (such as our service providers) for purposes of providing you with or facilitating the specific product or service that you are interacting with.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR BIOMETRIC DATA

Where we collect or otherwise possess your biometric data, we use a reasonable standard of care to store it, transmit it, and protect it from disclosure. Our practices for protecting your biometric data are, at a minimum, just as robust as those we use to store, transmit, and protect other confidential and sensitive information that we possess.

Your image and/or biometric data will be deleted the earlier of (a) when the initial purpose for collecting or obtaining the image and such biometric data has been satisfied, (b) two (2) years of your last interaction with the tool or (c) upon your request for us to delete your data from our database if you are a registered user.
