> Are my uploaded photos private? > Yes. All your images are yours and we are deleting them 7 days after your processing. We are keeping them 7 days in case you lose the link to download them (contact us in that case). It's not about whether you delete the files after processing. What is your infra? Where do you store the files? How do you transmit the files there? Do you use proper encryption? How secure are your servers? How secure are your (if) cloud-related keys? See OpenAI prompts leaking. Good example of what can go wrong. What guarantees my photos (or even visual model) won't get leaked into another user's account?

It's a valid point, but do you know of any companies which meet this standard? Perhaps if they were dealing with highly sensitive information then it makes sense to make those kinds of disclosures, but for novelty headshot generator app? I'm not sure it makes sense to require that level of detail or expect it. But to your point, I hate uploading anything private or personal anywhere for this exact reason. Even if you trust the company has good intentions, you also have to trust every employee at the company with privileged access, that their cyber security is adequate, and that all of their infrastructure providers can all be trusted. And given that you basically have to assume your information could be misused regardless of the company's intent.

It’s photos of your face. Billions of people upload billions of selfies every day. No one cares. If you don’t want your face to be seen, wear a mask and don’t leave the house.

  Then why advertise privacy in the first place? I'm not an overzealous person in this regard but if a product tries to get ahead by stating it's better in privacy aspect, then it is a right to question it. Billions of people do not upload selfies as well. Billions of people accept cookies and billions do not.
