What we keep, and what we never touch
Your photo
Your photo is never uploaded. The scan runs inside your browser, on your device, using a model your browser downloads from us. The image and every measurement taken from it exist only in the memory of that tab, and are gone when you close it. We never receive the photo, never store it, and never keep any facial measurement, template, or embedding.
When we generate the written part of your read, we send our own short descriptions of what the scan found — for example "the light is coming from directly above" — to a language-model provider. Your photo is not part of that request, and neither is anything that identifies you.
What is stored, and where
- In your browser: your results — type, aura, the observations, your quiz answers and the year of birth you entered. This is what makes progress tracking possible. It stays on your device unless you sign in.
- On our servers: nothing about you, unless you give us your email or sign in.
- If you give us your email: we store the address, which plan you were looking at, your aura and type at that moment, and where you arrived from. We use it to tell you once when checkout opens. We do not sell it, rent it, or pass it to anyone for their own marketing.
- If you sign in: your scan history syncs to our database so it follows you across devices. Same fields as above — derived numbers and text, never images.
Usage data
We record which steps of the flow people reach, so we know where the product loses them. Those events carry a random identifier generated in your browser, the campaign parameters in the link you arrived through, and your IP address as seen by our server. There is no advertising tracker and no third-party analytics script on this site.
Deleting everything
Your results have a delete button on your file; it clears the browser copy and, if you are signed in, the synced copy too. For your email address or a full account deletion, write to hello@theread.life and we will remove it within 30 days. You can also ask us for a copy of what we hold.
Age
The photo scan is for people 18 and over. We ask for your year of birth and take the answer at face value — we cannot verify it, and we do not try to estimate age from your photo. Under 18, the camera step is not offered.
