Introduction

Lumora Beauty (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is the data controller responsible for your personal data.

Lumorabeauty Ltd, trading as “Lumora Beauty”, is registered in England and Wales (company number 17044042). Our registered office is at 4 Field End, Coulsdon, CR5 2AY.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our mobile application (“the App”), and the lawful basis we rely on for each use.

Where we rely on your consent — for example, facial analysis — you can withdraw it at any time. Using the App does not by itself mean you consent to all processing described here.

02

Information we collect

Account information
Email address (for account creation and communication), full name (for personalisation), and password (encrypted and securely stored).
Profile & quiz data
Skin type (e.g. oily, dry, combination), skin concerns (e.g. acne, ageing, sensitivity), beauty preferences and goals, and product preferences.
Facial analysis (special category data)
Facial images, and the analysis derived from them, are special category data under Article 9 UK GDPR. We process them only with your explicit consent, given before any analysis and withdrawable at any time. This covers photographs you capture for skin analysis, AI-generated results (skin scores, detected concerns), and analysis history.
Skin tone (shade matching)
When you use shade matching, the photo you take is used only to read your skin-tone shade (a colour value). We do not store this photo — only the resulting shade value is saved, so we can personalise product matches for you.
Usage data
App interactions and feature usage, device information (device type, operating system), and log data.
Purchase, order & payment data
Products you view, save or purchase; order history and status; delivery address and contact details; and any photographs you submit with a return or complaint. Payments are processed by Stripe, so we receive confirmation and limited details, never your full card number.
Marketing & messaging data
Marketing email preferences (opt-in) and unsubscribe status, push notification tokens and preferences, and subscription status via RevenueCat.
03

How we use your information

The lawful basis we rely on under UK GDPR is: explicit consent for facial analysis and facial images (Article 9); performance of our contract for your account, recommendations, routines, orders, payments, delivery and returns; legal obligation for tax and accounting records; our legitimate interests for improving and securing the service; and your consent for marketing emails and push notifications, which you can withdraw at any time.

Providing your account and order details is necessary to create an account and fulfil your orders — without them we cannot provide those parts of the service. Facial analysis and marketing are optional and based on your consent.

Service delivery
Provide personalised skincare recommendations, perform AI-powered skin analysis, store your beauty profile, and track your skincare journey.
Improvement & development
Improve our AI algorithms and recommendation accuracy, develop new features, and analyse usage patterns to enhance the experience.
Communication
Send account-related notifications, respond to inquiries, and share product recommendations (with your consent).
Legal & safety
Comply with legal obligations, protect against fraud and abuse, and enforce our Terms & Conditions.
04

Third-party services

We use trusted third-party services to operate Lumora. Where a provider processes personal data on our behalf under a direct contract with us, we put a written data processing agreement in place that limits how they may use your data. Some features rely on providers offered through their own public API or platform, where a separate agreement with us is not available; there, that provider's own published terms and privacy commitments apply.

AI & analysis
Perfect Corp (YouCam) carries out your facial skin analysis. This reads the features and geometry of your face to assess your skin only; it is not facial recognition and is not used to identify you. Your photograph is sent to Perfect Corp securely, used only to generate your results, and deleted from their servers shortly afterwards (uploaded images within a day). Any analysis result images generated by YouCam are automatically removed from its servers within 30 days. OpenAI generates written skincare advice from your analysis results, not your photograph. Visage Technologies (Arbelle) powers virtual try-on entirely on your device, so those images are processed locally and are not sent to Visage.
Payments, subscriptions & fulfilment
Stripe for payment processing, RevenueCat for subscription management, and Beauty Fort for supplier fulfilment and delivery of your order.
Database & authentication
Supabase provides our secure cloud database and authentication services.
Analytics
Google Firebase provides usage analytics and crash reporting to improve app performance.
05

Data storage & security

Storage
Your data is stored on secure cloud servers. With your consent, we keep your facial images and results so you can compare your skin over time; the photo you take for shade matching is not stored — we keep only the resulting shade value. Our analysis provider deletes the uploaded photo within one day, and removes any analysis images it generates within 30 days.
Security measures
Industry-standard encryption for data transmission (TLS/SSL), secure password hashing, access controls, and regular security audits.
Data retention
Account data is retained until you delete your account. Your facial analysis and skin-tone data are kept until you delete them or your account. You can delete this data at any time in Account Settings, or by emailing info@lumorabeauty.co.uk. Usage logs are retained for up to 12 months.

While we implement robust security measures, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

06

Your rights (GDPR)

If you are in the UK or European Economic Area, you have the following rights under GDPR:

Right to access
Request a copy of your personal data.
Right to rectification
Request correction of inaccurate data.
Right to erasure
Request deletion of your personal data. You can delete your account, and your facial and skin-tone data, in Account Settings, or by emailing info@lumorabeauty.co.uk.
Right to restrict processing
Request limitation of how we use your data.
Right to data portability
Request your data in a portable format.
Right to object
Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Right to withdraw consent

Automated decisions & profiling
Our skin analysis and recommendations use automated processing and profiling to personalise your results. You can ask a person to review any result, and you can object to this profiling at any time.
Right to complain
Complain to us directly (see the next section), or to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@lumorabeauty.co.uk. We will acknowledge your request within 30 days.

07

Raising a data protection complaint

If you have a concern about how we handle your personal data, you can raise it directly with us. Email info@lumorabeauty.co.uk with the details, including the email address on your account so we can find your records.

We acknowledge every complaint within 30 days, investigate without undue delay, keep you updated, and tell you the outcome. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk.

08

Cookies & tracking

The Lumora mobile app does not use traditional browser cookies. We may use similar technologies for maintaining your logged-in session, storing your preferences locally on your device, and analytics. You can clear local app data through your device settings.

09

Children’s privacy

Lumora is not intended for children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

If we discover we have collected information from a child under 18, we will delete it promptly.

10

International data transfers

Some of our providers process data outside the UK. Where that happens, we take appropriate steps so your data remains protected to UK standards.

For providers we contract with directly, we put in place a data processing agreement together with a recognised transfer mechanism: the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (the UK-US Data Bridge) where the provider is certified. For these transfers we rely on those safeguards rather than on your consent.

Some features are powered by providers offered through their own public API or platform, where a separate agreement with us is not available. For those, we rely on the provider’s own published terms, privacy commitments and transfer safeguards, and we only enable the feature after you give your explicit consent — which also covers the transfer of your data to the provider that powers it. Skin analysis (Perfect Corp / YouCam) works this way.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you via the updated date at the top of this policy, in-app notification for significant changes, and email notification for material changes (if you have opted in).

Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
