Privacy Policy for BodyVisualizer

Introduction

Welcome to BodyVisualizer, the web experience that turns your height, weight, and circumference data into interactive 3D body models. Protecting your privacy is core to the way we design our services. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the controls you have when you explore BodyVisualizer.

Information Collection and Use

We collect the following types of data to deliver and improve the BodyVisualizer experience:

Account Information
- What We Collect: Your name, email address, password hash, preferred measurement units, locale, and optional profile information provided during registration.
- Purpose: To manage your account, synchronize saved measurement presets, and help you securely access your 3D body models across devices.
Usage Details
- What We Collect: Slider adjustments, measurement presets you save, frequency of visualization, and feature usage events. These logs do not include raw measurement values unless you explicitly choose to store them.
- Purpose: To understand which features are helpful, diagnose issues, and evolve the accuracy of SMPL-based rendering.
Device Information
- What We Collect: Device type, operating system, browser version, approximate location derived from IP (city-level only), and rendering performance metrics.
- Purpose: To optimize WebGL rendering, tailor fallback experiences, and maintain system security.
Cookies
- What We Collect: Cookies or local storage entries that keep you signed in, remember your preferred units, and store temporary slider states.
- Purpose: To provide a seamless session, remember your interface preferences, and run analytics that respect your consent choices.
Measurement Data (Optional Sync)
- What We Collect: If you opt in to cloud sync, we store the measurement values you save (e.g., height, weight, circumferences) along with any named presets.
- Purpose: To let you access historical body measurements, compare changes over time, and restore presets on new devices.

Data Storage and Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on infrastructure with strict access controls, and monitored for suspicious activity. Nevertheless, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only in the following situations:

To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
To protect our rights, property, safety, or that of our users or the public.
With cloud providers, analytics vendors, or rendering infrastructure partners that help us operate BodyVisualizer—each bound by confidentiality and data-processing agreements.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as we expand BodyVisualizer or adopt new safeguards. When we make material changes we will post the updated policy here, revise the effective date, and provide in-app or email notifications where required.
