Privacy policy
Last updated: April 2026 · Applies to uvoe.neuralpha.in and the UVOE wearable prototype.
The short version
- Face images never leave your device. When you use the front camera, MediaPipe Face Mesh runs in your browser. Only anonymous numerical metrics (face shape label, undertone label, a handful of 0–1 scores) are sent to our server.
- Barcodes, OCR crops, and low-resolution scene frames from the rear camera are sent to our server for lookup. We do not store the raw image after processing.
- No account, no identity. Phase 1 does not require sign-up. Telemetry is anonymous. Session IDs are hashed and rotate every 24 hours.
- Chat messages are sent to our LLM providers (Groq, Gemini, Ollama) for the advisory response. Only the text of your question and your latest face context metrics are included. No images.
What we never do
- We never attempt to identify you by face, voice, or device.
- We never sell or share your data with advertisers.
- We never run facial-recognition matching, emotion inference, or biometric templating.
- We never make medical claims. UVOE's wellness observations are descriptive only, not diagnostic.
Technical details
- Wellness payloads containing any image data (keys like
image_b64, frame, photo) are server-side rejected with a 400 error. This is a hard lock that cannot be overridden by any flag.
- VLM (vision) endpoints require a
face_plate_blurred=true flag from the client, plus server-side size checks that reject suspiciously large uploads likely to contain unblurred faces or number plates.
- Database is anonymous SQLite at
/opt/uvoe/data/uvoe.db. Schema is published in the repository.
- All LLM API calls are prepended with a "cultural prior" prompt that forbids identity description and identity matching.
Indian compliance
UVOE is built to comply with the DPDP Act 2023. Phase 1 collects no personally identifiable information. Any future account-based features (Phase 1.5 onwards) will be opt-in with explicit per-data-type consent.
Not a financial product
UVOE is a visual observation and styling engine. It is not a trading tool, investment advisor, or financial product. For trading-related products from NeurAlpha, visit the separate project pages.
