Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 9, 2026
1 Information We Collect
Hogamdo collects only minimal information necessary to provide the service. Images uploaded for face analysis are used only for analysis purposes and are immediately deleted after analysis is complete. Images are not permanently stored on our servers. The information we collect includes: face images (for analysis purposes), browser type and version, IP address (anonymized), and service usage records.
2 Photo Processing
Web face analysis sends a JPEG version of your photo, facial landmarks and calculated metrics to the server. Some server analysis paths use temporary image files and delete them after processing. Country rankings, returned metrics, gender, selected country and language are saved to provide shareable results. The original photo is not saved with the shared result.
3 Data Retention
Images processed for face analysis are discarded immediately upon completion and are not stored on our servers. Original face photos are not retained even when a matching request is submitted. Matching application data (email, date of birth, gender, analysis result) is collected with the user's consent and retained until the matching service ends or the user requests deletion. Email addresses collected through customer inquiries are retained for one year after resolution and then destroyed. Service usage logs are retained for up to 90 days for service improvement purposes and are automatically deleted thereafter. Where retention is required by law, data is retained for the period prescribed by the applicable legislation.
4 Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Hogamdo uses cookies for service improvement. Essential cookies are used for basic website functions (language settings, session management). Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) are used for visitor statistics and service improvement, with IP addresses anonymized. Regarding advertising cookies, Google may set and read cookies, including the DoubleClick DART cookie, to serve personalized ads based on your interests. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ad Settings page (https://adssettings.google.com). You can also refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some features may be limited as a result.
5 Third-Party Services
Hogamdo does not sell or share user personal information with third parties. However, we use the following third-party services, each subject to their own privacy policies: Google MediaPipe (face analysis, runs locally in browser), Google Analytics (visitor statistics, anonymized), and Google AdSense (advertising, uses advertising identifiers). Each service processes data in accordance with its respective provider's privacy policy.
6 Your Rights
You may exercise the following rights at any time: request access to your personal information, request correction or deletion of your personal information, request suspension of processing, and withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, please email contact@whereamihot.me and we will process your request without delay. However, access may be restricted in accordance with applicable laws.
7 Security Measures
HTTPS protects data in transit. Face detection runs in the browser, while photos and facial metrics are sent to the server for further analysis. Temporary analysis images are handled separately from numerical results saved for sharing.
8 Children's Privacy
Hogamdo does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14 years of age. If we become aware that a child under 14 has used our service, we will promptly delete the relevant information. If a parent or legal guardian wishes to inquire about a child's data processing, please contact contact@whereamihot.me.
9 Analytics Tools
Hogamdo uses Google Analytics for service improvement and user experience enhancement. Google Analytics collects statistics such as visitor count, page views, and session duration through cookies. The collected data is anonymized and cannot identify individual users. For more information about Google Analytics data processing, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy.
