03Why we use it

04Your hand photos

When you try on a design, your photo is uploaded to our secure server and sent to an AI image-editing service (Google Gemini; OpenAI as backup) to create the result.

Camera and photo library permissions are only used to take or choose photos and to save results to your gallery.

05Who we share it with

We only share data with service providers that are necessary to run the app:

Apart from these, we do not give your data to third parties unless required by law (for example, a request from competent authorities).

06International transfers

Our service providers' servers are located in the European Union and the United States. Transfers are made under the providers' standard contractual clauses and security measures, in line with GDPR Chapter V and KVKK Art. 9.

08Public content

Images you post to the showcase and salon profile information (name, address, phone, Instagram, works) can be seen by everyone in the app. You can delete them at any time.

You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or export your data, and to object to processing based on legitimate interest. You can also withdraw any consent you gave.

10Security

Data is transferred over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Each user can only access their own data; access rules are enforced on the server. Requests are verified as coming from the genuine Cila app with Firebase App Check.

11Children

Cila is not intended for children under 13 (or under 16 where local law requires). If we learn that we collected data from such a child, we delete it.
