Privacy Policy
Mevona (“Mevona,” “the app,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an application published and operated by Marius Labs, a French simplified joint-stock company (société par actions simplifiée, SAS), registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register (RCS Paris) under SIREN 103 186 938, with its registered office at 10 rue du Dahomey, 75011 Paris, France. Marius Labs is the data controller for the processing described here.
This Privacy Policy explains what information the app processes, how it is used, and the choices you have. It applies to the Mevona iOS app and the services it relies on (together, the “Service”).
By using the Service, you agree to the processing of information as described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. Mevona is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
Anonymous by design
Mevona does not require an account. There is no sign-up, no email, and no login. On first launch, the app creates an anonymous identifier (a random user ID) that lets your content stay attached to your device. We do not know your name, and we do not ask for it.
Because access is anonymous, your data is tied to this anonymous identifier and to your device, not to a personal profile.
Information we process
How we use your information
We use the information above to:
AI processing and service providers
Mevona uses artificial intelligence to produce your previews and dossier. Your photos and inputs are sent to service providers to generate your results:
Mevona sends these inputs to produce the results you request. Provider-side handling is governed by the applicable provider terms and may follow retention periods different from Mevona's own storage.
Other providers that operate the Service on our behalf:
These providers process data under their applicable terms and privacy practices while providing these services.
Sensitive inputs and how we minimize them
If you provide ethnicity information for your Facial Dossier, it is sent as part of the dossier request to improve the analysis, but it is never stored on our servers — not in our database and not in file storage. It is used to generate your dossier and then discarded server-side. Any durable copy remains only on your device.
Face photos are personal and are treated with care. They are stored privately, scoped to your anonymous identifier, and you can delete them at any time (see Section 7). Face photos are used only to generate the previews and dossier you request. Mevona does not perform facial recognition, does not use your photos to identify you or anyone else, and does not build biometric templates such as faceprints or face-geometry maps — your photos are processed as ordinary two-dimensional images. We do not use your face photos to train AI models, and we do not use them for advertising or marketing.
Storage, location, and retention
Your photos, generated previews, and thumbnails are stored using Google Firebase / Google Cloud infrastructure, in storage scoped to your anonymous identifier. Backend processing runs on Google Cloud. Data is processed and stored in the United States and, for certain processing, the European Union.
We retain your face data for as long as you keep it in the app, subject to an inactivity limit: if you do not use the app for 12 months, your face photos, generated previews, and dossier files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers. You can also delete them at any time: when you use “Delete all face data” in Settings, your photos and generated results are permanently removed immediately. Uninstalling the app does not by itself delete server-side data; use “Delete all face data” first if you want it erased immediately — otherwise it is deleted automatically after 12 months of inactivity.
Mevona does not publish a separate provider-side retention period for every AI processing route. Provider-side handling may follow retention periods different from Mevona's own storage.
Your rights and choices
Data sharing
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your face photos or dossier content for advertising or to train AI models. We share data only with the service providers listed in Section 4 to operate the Service, and where required to comply with the law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the Service.
Security
We use industry-standard measures, including access controls scoped to your anonymous identifier, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
Mevona is intended for adults aged 18 and over. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly process data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has used the app, contact us and we will delete the associated data.
International users
If you use the Service from outside the United States or the European Union, your information may be transferred to and processed in those regions, which may have different data protection laws than your own. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
