- AI Consultant Input: When you use our AI Beauty Consultant, the images you submit and questions you ask are processed to provide you with tailored advice. This input is fundamental to the functionality of the feature.
Access to your device’s Camera and Photo Library is required to upload content. We will only access these features after you grant explicit permission.

3. Data Storage, Security, and Retention
Protecting your information is a priority. We employ robust measures to safeguard the data entrusted to us. All collected information is stored on secure cloud servers managed by leading infrastructure providers.
We implement a combination of technical and administrative security controls, including data encryption in transit and at rest, to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. Despite these efforts, no digital system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We will retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active or as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
4. Third-Party Services
Vespera integrates with a select number of third-party partners to provide essential functionalities. These services may include cloud hosting, data analytics, and performance monitoring. These partners are granted access to the minimal amount of information necessary to perform their designated functions and are contractually obligated to protect it. Their use of information is governed by their own respective privacy policies, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose your personal data for their own marketing or other purposes.
