How Long Are Face Photos Stored — and How Deletion Works

Quick answer: Storage time varies by product and account settings; you should always be able to find how long face photos are kept and how to request deletion — read the privacy policy before uploading.

Retention periods differ; do not assume instant deletion after one preview.

Use in-app delete controls when available; confirm account-level removal.

Keep local copies of favorites if you need them; clear what you do not.

Why retention exists

Apps may keep images briefly to finish processing, show history, or support accounts. That should be spelled out — not hidden.

Deletion checklist

Delete thoughtfully

Find privacy / account settings.
Delete individual previews you do not want.
Remove source uploads if the product allows.
Request account deletion if you are done for good.

Keep screenshots only if you truly need them offline.

Habits that help

Do not upload sensitive documents with your face photo
Avoid shared tablets without logging out
Re-read policies after major app updates

Nose Shape pointer

See /privacy/ for current practices. Policies can update — the page is the source of truth. Visualization remains educational; real surgery can look different from concepts.

Important safety note

Nose Shape provides cosmetic visualization and educational guidance only. AI results are visual concepts — not a diagnosis, surgical plan, or outcome guarantee. Real procedures can look different. Always discuss decisions with a qualified professional.

If I delete from my phone gallery, is it gone from the app?

Not necessarily. Delete inside the service too.

Do backups keep copies?

Systems can have backup windows. Privacy pages should explain the practical timeline.
