How Looksy handles uploaded photos
This page is the short, plain-English version of what most people want to know before using an AI try-on tool: what happens when you upload a photo, how long it may be kept to complete the result, whether it is used for training, and who to contact if you need deletion help.
Quick answer
Looksy uses your uploaded photo to generate the try-on result you requested. The image may be processed and temporarily cached so the result can be delivered properly. Looksy says it does not use uploaded photos for model training without explicit consent, and you can contact the team for privacy or deletion requests at looksy.aiapp@gmail.com.
What happens when you upload a photo
When you upload a photo on Looksy, the image is sent through the generation pipeline so the app can detect your outline, clothing region, lighting, and pose. That processing step is necessary for the result itself. In other words, the upload is not just for storage; it is the core input used to render the output you asked for.
Used to generate your result
The photo is processed so Looksy can place the selected garment or effect onto your image and return the finished try-on.
Not a blanket training opt-in
Looksy's published privacy language states that uploaded photos are not used for AI model training without explicit consent.
Temporary caching may occur
Photos and generated images may be cached for delivery, account workflow, and result handling rather than being discarded instantly at upload time.
Account data is separate
If you sign in, Looksy may also hold account information such as your name, email, and profile details needed to manage credits and access.
Retention and deletion
The public policy describes uploads as temporarily processed and cached to deliver results, then deleted automatically rather than stored indefinitely by default. If you need confirmation or a deletion follow-up for a specific account or photo, the safest route is to email the team directly and identify the account or upload in question.
Third-party services involved
Looksy's current privacy policy references third-party services such as Firebase for authentication, analytics tooling, and hosting providers. That means some data can be handled by service providers operating parts of the product stack, not only by Looksy itself.
Best practice if you are privacy-sensitive
- Use a clean, front-facing everyday photo instead of uploading anything more sensitive than needed for the try-on.
- Review the full Privacy Policy if you need the legal wording.
- Email looksy.aiapp@gmail.com before using the tool if you need a written answer about deletion or retention.
- Avoid assuming every generated image disappears instantly unless the team confirms that for your exact workflow.
