Autr AB, part of the lifepolygon group, built the Skinimalist app. This page explains what information the app and this website handle, and how. Skinimalist is designed to need as little of your data as possible.
Analysis runs on your device
Image recognition, ingredient decoding, scoring and skin matching all run locally on your iPhone. No photos or personal data are uploaded for analysis, the app works offline, and there is no login – so you can use Skinimalist completely anonymously. An internet connection is only used for optional features such as web scan and discovering products from the product database.
Information collection and use
Any data collected is anonymised by default. We do not intend to collect information that can be traced back to you as an individual. Aggregated, anonymous usage statistics may be used to understand how the app is used and to improve it. Your skin profile and scan history are stored to power the app's features; they are not tied to a personal account.
Security
We value your trust and use commercially reasonable means to protect any information we handle. Note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed. Because the core analysis happens on your device and works offline, most of your activity never leaves your iPhone in the first place.

This service may contain links to other sites. If you follow a third-party link you will be directed to a site we do not operate. We have no control over, and take no responsibility for, the content or privacy practices of third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes are published on this page, so you are advised to review it periodically. This policy has been in effect since 24 May 2021 and was last revised on the date shown above.
