Questions
Frequently asked questions
The questions people ask most, answered straight. If yours is not here, the honesty manifesto and the method pages go deeper.
Does NextFace grade my face?
No. NextFace does not give a number, a tier, or a leaderboard, and it never compares you to other people. It reads visible, changeable signals on your face and measures them against your own baseline over time.
Is it a diagnosis?
No. NextFace is not a diagnosis and not a substitute for a doctor. It never names a condition. It reads surface signals — like how rested or fresh you look — and suggests common, changeable drivers to test.
What happens to my photo?
Your selfie is treated as biometric data. It is stored in private, encrypted storage — never on a public page, never sold, never used for ads. You can delete your photos and data at any time, and we remove them from our systems.
Who can see my result?
Only you, by default. There is no public result page. A comparison is only ever shown to a friend you explicitly send a challenge link to — no one else.
Why is it free?
Because the point of this first release is to learn whether the read is worth sharing — not to charge for it. There is no subscription and no paywall on your read. If that changes, we will say so plainly.
Do I need an account?
No account. You can take your read and see your result without a password. After your first week we ask for an email to keep your archive going — so your Day-7 rematch result and your saved reads stay reachable. It is one email, no password, and you can delete it anytime.
How accurate is the read?
It is a light, early-cohort read — honest and shareable, not a precision instrument. We say that plainly rather than dress it up. The signals it reads are the kind that genuinely shift with sleep, hydration, alcohol, and sun.
What is the minimum age?
NextFace is 18+ only. There is an age gate before anything is captured, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
