Best Face Forward Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 6, 2026

Best Face Forward helps you pick a clearer still frame from a Live Photo. The app uses Apple Photos, PhotosUI, and Vision frameworks on your device.

Face Data

Best Face Forward does not collect face data. When you choose a Live Photo, the app processes the selected photo and paired video locally on your device using Apple Vision face detection and face capture quality APIs. The app may temporarily calculate face count, face bounding boxes, and face capture quality scores in memory so it can rank candidate frames.

Best Face Forward does not identify people, does not perform face recognition, does not create face templates, does not compare faces across photos, and does not use face data for advertising, tracking, profiling, or analytics.

Face Data Storage and Retention

Face analysis results are not uploaded to any server and are not stored in a remote database. Face analysis values are used only during the current app session to show scores and candidate frames. They are discarded when the app session ends or when you choose another photo. If you tap Save Frame, the app saves only the selected still image to your Photos library at your request.

Third-Party AI Services

Best Face Forward does not send photos, videos, face data, prompts, or any other personal data to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any other third-party AI service. The app does not include analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, or third-party tracking SDKs.

The app may optionally use an on-device Core ML model to explain why the selected frame looks strongest. That model runs locally on your device. Photos, videos, face analysis values, and prompts are not sent to the model provider or to any server.

Photo Library Access

Best Face Forward uses the system photo picker so you choose the Live Photo you want to analyze. The app asks for permission to add to your Photos library only when you choose to save a frame.

Children's Privacy

Best Face Forward is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
