BarberChop shows you what a haircut would look like on your own head, using photos you take of yourself. This page explains what data the app uses and what happens to it.

What we collect

• Your photos: the four photos of your head (front, left, back, right) that you take or choose.
• Your haircut requests and the preview images made from them.
• An account id: a random id the app creates on your phone. We don't ask for your name, email or phone number.
• Purchase records: which preview packs you bought (from Apple) and your remaining previews, plus your barbershop's code if you entered one.

We don't use your data for advertising or tracking, and we don't sell it. This website doesn't use cookies or analytics.

How it's used

Only to make your previews. To do that, your photos and request are sent to:

• Vercel, which hosts our server and stores your photos and previews privately.
• Anthropic (Claude), which reads your request and checks the preview's quality.
• fal.ai, which runs Google's image model to edit the hair in your photos.

These services process your data on our behalf to provide the feature.

How long we keep it

Your photos and previews are kept so you can look at them again, until you delete them.

Deleting your data

In the app, open Settings → Delete my photos and previews. This permanently deletes your photos, previews and account from our server straight away. Anonymous purchase records (the random account id, amounts and Apple transaction ids) are kept for accounting. Deleting the app alone does not delete your data from our server.

Children

BarberChop isn't directed at children under 13.
