What do you do with the pictures? The privacy policy is a bit circular.

The uploaded photos are used for the purpose of recommending hairstyles

You also say that you're not limited to just using them for that purpose

Something like this really needs a robust privacy policy answering questions like:

- is my photo visible to you, the developer?

- will my photo ever be shown to other users?

- will my photo be used to train your recommendation algorithm?

- how long will my photo be retained for?
