Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 5, 2026
Blue Red & Brown Ventures LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Crowd Derm mobile application (the "App") and the accompanying website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure, private experience as you track your skin health and routines.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use Crowd Derm.
1. Information We Collect
To provide you with highly personalized skin routines and clinical insights, we collect the following types of information when voluntarily provided by you:
Account Information: Your email address and account credentials when you register for Crowd Derm.
Profile and Demographic Data: Information you choose to provide regarding your age range, skin type, specific concerns (such as texture or fine lines), Fitzpatrick skin tone (collected via sun reaction scale), and regional location (such as zip code or city) to generate your starter routines.
Lifestyle and Activity Data: Information regarding daily activities that directly impact skin conditions, including sweating frequency, sauna use, and pool or chlorine exposure.
Product and Routine Data: The skincare products you add to your routine and your product preferences.
Progress and Check-In Data: Information generated during your skin check-ins, including how your skin responds to routines over time.
We also collect limited technical information automatically, including device type, operating system, and app usage data. We use cookies on our website to operate the site and analyze usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve the App, including:
Generating and customizing your morning and evening skincare routines
Flagging potential ingredient conflicts between products in your routine
Analyzing individual skin check-in responses to optimize your personal experience
Communicating with you regarding technical assistance, support, or updates
Crowd-Sourced Intelligence: Crowd Derm's differentiator is that one user's anonymized inputs help improve recommendations for others. We analyze non-personally identifiable, aggregated data across user cohorts to discover broader skin health patterns among individuals with similar skin types, age ranges, and lifestyles. No personally identifiable information is ever shared between users. All pattern analysis is performed on fully anonymized data only.
3. Data Sharing, Disclosure, and User Privacy
We do not sell your personal data or skin history to third parties.
We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers: We share data with trusted third-party providers who help us operate the App, including authentication services (Clerk) and cloud hosting and database services (Railway). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change.
