Camera and Device Permissions

When you choose to take a photo using the Platform, we request access to your device camera. Specifically:

• We access the camera only when you actively choose to take a photo
• We do not access your camera in the background at any time
• We do not store or transmit your camera feed
• Photos taken through the camera are processed the same way as uploaded photos — sent to our AI providers for image generation and stored in our secure database
• Camera permission can be revoked at any time in your device Settings under Templo permissions
• On iOS, you will be prompted to grant camera access the first time you attempt to use it

Templo allows users to upload photos containing human faces. This is considered sensitive biometric data under many laws including the Illinois BIPA, Texas CUBI, and GDPR.

• Face photos you upload are processed by third party AI services (OpenAI, Google, xAI)
• These photos are stored securely in our database (Supabase)
• We do not sell or share face photos with any parties other than our AI processing services
• You may request deletion of your uploaded photos at any time
• By uploading face photos you consent to this processing
• You represent that you have consent from all people visible in uploaded photos

We use your information to:

• Provide and improve the Platform
• Process payments and prevent fraud
• Generate AI images based on your inputs
• Send important account and service notifications

We share your information only in the following circumstances:
