Photo Privacy

Who is responsible

The controller is Model Quest. Contact: team@themodelquest.com.

What we handle

• The photos you submit for a quiz or the three-photo challenge.
• Your email address, and your name where you give it (three-photo challenge).
• Your quiz answers, the result style you chose, and your text result and badge.
• Your choices: Terms version and time accepted, and — if you opt in — the modeling consent wording version, time and expiry date.
• Limited records needed to prevent abuse and keep the service secure (for example rate-limit and duplicate-submission records).

Why we use it

• Your requested result: to analyse your photo, show and email your result, and keep it in your profile if you have an account.
• Optional “I want to become a model”: only if you tick it, to keep your photos privately so the Model Quest team can review them and contact you about modeling opportunities.
• Optional photography tips: only if you separately opt in on the three-photo challenge.

Your photos

• Quiz photos are never saved by Model Quest — not in storage, the database, logs or your browser storage — whether or not you tick “I want to become a model”. On quizzes that choice only records your interest in modeling so the team may contact you. Photos are used in memory to create your result, then discarded.
• The separate three-photo challenge: without the modeling choice its photos are not saved either. With the modeling choice, those three photos are stored privately (no public links) for at most 6 months. You can withdraw at any time from your result or your profile. Review access ends immediately when the retention period ends or you withdraw. A daily cleanup then deletes the stored files; if a deletion fails it is retried and flagged to our team until it succeeds.
• Only authorised Model Quest team members can open retained photos, through links that expire after a minute.
• We do not share photos with any outside agency. If that ever changes, we will name the agency and ask for your separate choice first.
• Photos submitted before this notice existed were not collected with the modeling choice and are excluded from team review.
• Quiz photos kept under an earlier version of this notice stay covered by their original retention date, withdrawal and deletion controls.

Model accounts and ID verification

• Model accounts are optional and only for adults who explicitly apply to become a model. Guest quizzes never require an account.
• To verify you are an adult, you upload a photo of an ID document. You may cover or crop out document numbers and other unneeded fields; your name, photo and date of birth must stay visible.
• A member of the Model Quest team reviews the ID by hand. IDs are never analysed by AI, never used for identity recognition, and never shared with outside agencies.
• The ID photo is stored privately with no public access, is visible only to authorised reviewers through links that expire after a minute, and is deleted as soon as a decision is made — and in any case within 30 days if no decision has been reached. Failed deletions are retried automatically until they succeed.
• After a decision we keep only the minimum record: the decision, its reason, the reviewer and the time.

Your Lumi lookalike character

• Approved models can ask Lumi to create a stylised 3D lookalike character from a reference photo they choose, with a separate explicit consent.
• The reference photo is used once, in memory, to generate the character and is not stored. The generated character is private to you and the Model Quest team.
• You can replace or delete your character at any time from your profile.

Skill progression

For signed-in participants, the photo assessment also records demonstrated photography technique (for example posing, framing and lighting) with the visible reasons behind each score, plus experience points and a level. These measure execution of the requested shot only — never attractiveness, body, personality or employability. Approved models see their progression in their profile; model rankings list approved models only.

Text results, email and records

Your text result, email address and delivery status are kept so we can show and send your result and so saved results keep working. Minimal consent, suppression and security records may be kept where necessary for legal or security reasons. We have not set a fixed period for these yet; you can ask us to delete them.

Service providers

• OpenAI analyses your photo to create the result. Every request is sent with response storage turned off (store: false), so OpenAI keeps no retrievable copy of the response — this alone does not guarantee OpenAI keeps nothing. OpenAI says API data is not used to train its models by default, but it may keep request content for up to 30 days for abuse and security monitoring (or longer where legally required or reasonably necessary for safety and security). This is not a zero-data-retention arrangement.
• Lovable Cloud (built on Supabase) hosts the website, database and private photo storage.
• Lovable Emails sends result and account emails.

These providers may process data outside your country. For questions about our providers and applicable safeguards, contact team@themodelquest.com.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its use, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier use. Email team@themodelquest.com to make a request. You can also complain to your data-protection supervisory authority.
