How we handle your photos

We do not train a model on your face

Some AI headshot services work by training a personalised model on your uploaded selfies. That is a real technical approach, and it means your face is retained as training data.

PhotoBoost does not do this. The generation model is not fine-tuned per user — it is used as-is, and your photos are inputs to a single generation run, not training material.

This is partly a deliberate choice and partly a consequence of the model: the current generation model does not need per-user fine-tuning to produce a likeness.

How long we keep things

Two points of precision, because this section only earns its keep if it is exact.

First, deletion is currently carried out manually rather than by an automated process. The commitment is the timeline, not the mechanism.

Second, the windows above describe what we delete. To generate your photos, your selfies are uploaded to our third-party AI provider (fal.ai) for processing during the run. We do not control their retention independently of that processing.

What we do not do

What we do ask for

A set of selfies, plus a short profile: age range, height range, weight range, body type, ethnicity, hair colour, eye colour and gender.

These are used to keep the generated headshot consistent with your appearance. They are not marketing questions and are not used for anything else. They are stored with your account and removed when your account data is deleted on request.

If you want your data deleted sooner

Contact support and we will remove your account and data on request, ahead of the retention windows above.

The full legal detail is in our privacy policy, but the summary above is the honest version of what actually happens.
