1. Our Privacy-First Philosophy
Before we get into the details, we want to highlight our core commitments to your privacy:

- We Do Not Access Your Camera. We will never ask for permission to access your device's camera.
- We Have Minimal Access to Your Photos. We only ask for permission to access the specific photos you choose to upload to your profile. We cannot see or access any other photos on your device.
