How other platforms handle this
We store your Data on our servers located in Singapore. We also have support, engineering, content moderation, and other functional teams located around the world to support the operation of the Platform and the provision of Services to you.
Information collected from your device's camera for these services is used in real time and is not stored on the servers. The virtual try on experience operates within your own device or browser and the data is deleted after the experience ends.
When Personal Information is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, we securely delete, anonymize, or put it beyond use.
