Last updated: August 8, 2025

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Zesty mobile apps (iOS/Android) and website (collectively, the "Service").

Contact: support@zestyus.com

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy (which explains how we collect and use personal data). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1) What Zesty Is (and Isn't)

Not a dating/matchmaking service. Zesty is a dating profile review and optimization tool. We provide crowd-sourced feedback, AI-assisted photo/profile analysis, and a statistical VCI (Vibe Compatibility Index) score derived from votes and models.

We do not provide matchmaking, user-to-user introductions, or compatibility guarantees.

2) Eligibility & Accounts

You must be 18 years or older to use Zesty. Creating an account or submitting content while under 18 is strictly prohibited.

When you register (including using third-party login such as Google), you agree to provide accurate information and keep your account secure. You are responsible for all activity on your account.

3) The Service, Features & "Experiments"

"Experiments" are profile tests you run to gather votes/feedback. You can upload profile elements (bio, interests, photos), configure demographics, and receive analytics, an AI-assisted report, and a VCI score.

We may show your profile to eligible voters across the platform (subject to moderation and safety rules) to collect votes and comments.

Launch/Beta modes. From time to time we may enable limited or experimental features (e.g., "Launch Mode – Everyone's Invited"). Features may change or be withdrawn at any time.

4) Community & Voting Rules

To keep Zesty useful and safe, all users agree to:

Be respectful. No harassment, abuse, threats, doxxing, or sexualization of minors (zero tolerance).

No discrimination. You may not use Zesty to target, exclude, or demean people based on protected characteristics (e.g., race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, medical status, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, veteran status). Demographic controls we provide are for statistical accuracy and analysis only, not for unlawful discrimination or exclusion.

Lawful, appropriate content only. Don't upload illegal content, nudity/pornography, sexually explicit content, sexual content involving minors or minors' imagery, graphic violence, self-harm content, malware, fraud, or anything that infringes others' rights.

Constructive feedback. Voting and comments should be about profile quality, clarity, and perceived vibe—not personal attacks.

We may remove content, pause Experiments, or suspend accounts that violate these rules or these Terms.

5) Your Content & License to Zesty

You retain ownership of the content you submit (photos, text, profile details, feedback) ("User Content").

You grant Zesty a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (e.g., resize, transcode), analyze, display, and otherwise use your User Content solely to operate and improve the Service (including moderation, voting display to other users, analytics, reports, and marketing only if you've opted in).

Photo Analysis License: You specifically grant Zesty the right to analyze uploaded photos using third-party AI services (including Google's Gemini AI) to assess facial expressions, photo quality, composition, and dating appeal. This analysis may include facial detection, expression evaluation, and photo composition assessment, but does not include biometric identification or facial recognition profiling.

You must have all rights necessary to upload and share your User Content. Do not upload content that you do not own or do not have permission to use.

Deletion & Retention

When you delete User Content or your account, we'll remove it from active use; however, vote records and aggregated statistics may be retained for algorithm integrity, fraud prevention, and audit, and to the extent required by law, contract, or platform obligations. We may also retain backups for a limited period.

6) Visibility, Links, and Sharing

Within Zesty, your profile elements may be shown to other users for voting/feedback subject to your Experiment settings and platform growth mode.

Share/Test Links (preview pages). If you enable a share link, we generate a unique page that shows non-personal, aggregated results (e.g., distributions, scores, tags). These links are intended to be temporary and unindexed, but anyone with the link can view the page. We cannot prevent screenshots or re-sharing. You're responsible for where you post or share your link.

7) Virtual Credits, Purchases & Refunds

Zesty uses virtual credits and one-time paid features:

Credits are a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to access paid features (e.g., run Experiments, request more votes). Credits have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for money.

Fast Lane. A paid prioritization option that attempts to deliver votes faster and may unlock additional analytics otherwise unavailable in free use. Delivery speed is not guaranteed and depends on platform activity and available voters.

Premium VCI Report. A one-time paid, expanded analysis/report for a selected profile.

Refunds

Unless required by law or platform policy:

  • All refunds are in credits only (no cash/fiat refunds).
  • If an Experiment is paused, undeliverable, or partially fulfilled, we may automatically credit back unused portions to your in-app credits.
  • Purchases made via Apple App Store or Google Play are subject to their billing terms and refund processes.

We may adjust credit pricing, bundles, and features from time to time.

8) AI & Automated Analyses (Important)

Zesty uses reputable third-party cloud AI services to analyze photo quality and profile readiness for dating contexts and to help generate suggestions and descriptive "vibe" text.

We do not fine-tune or train our own models on your identifiable photos or content. We configure third-party models to perform inference/processing and to provide outputs for your report and analytics. See our Privacy Policy for details.

AI outputs may be inaccurate or incomplete and can reflect limitations or biases in models or data. Use your own judgment; outputs are for information and entertainment and are not professional advice (dating, psychological, medical, or legal).

8.1) Face Data Collection & Processing Consent

By uploading photos containing faces to Zesty, you specifically consent to the following face data collection and processing:

Face Data We Collect:

  • Facial Detection Data: Number of faces, primary face visibility, positioning within photo frame
  • Expression Analysis: Smile probability, eye contact assessment, emotional expression evaluation
  • Photo Composition: Facial clarity, lighting quality on faces, angle optimization, presentation assessment
  • Quality Metrics: Sharpness, exposure, occlusion detection related to facial features

We do NOT collect: Biometric identifiers, facial recognition templates, identity verification data, or persistent facial maps.

How We Use Face Data:

  • Photo Quality Assessment: Analyzing facial visibility, clarity, and photographic composition for improvement suggestions
  • Dating Profile Optimization: Generating feedback about photo appeal, facial expression, and presentation effectiveness
  • VCI Statistical Analysis: Correlating facial expression data with voting patterns to compute compatibility scores
  • Personalized Recommendations: Creating customized photo improvement suggestions based on facial analysis
  • Aggregate Analytics: Anonymized insights about photo performance patterns (no individual identification)

Third-Party Processing:

Face data is shared with Google's Gemini AI service for analysis processing. Google processes photos transiently and, according to their current policy, does not use customer content to train AI models. Photos are encrypted during transmission and processing.

Your Consent & Rights:

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • All uploaded photos are of yourself and you are 18+ years old
  • You have full rights to all uploaded photos and consent to their facial analysis
  • Face data analysis is for photo improvement only - not identity verification or biometric authentication
  • You can delete photos and associated face data at any time through your account
  • AI analysis may be inaccurate and should not be considered professional advice

Data Retention & Deletion:

  • Active Account: Face data retained while photos exist in your account
  • Photo Deletion: Face data for deleted photos purged within 24 hours
  • Account Deletion: All face data permanently deleted within 30 days
  • Anonymized Data: Statistical patterns may be retained after individual identifiers are removed

Prohibited Uses:

You may not:

  • Upload photos of minors or photos without proper permission
  • Use face data analysis results for identity verification or authentication purposes
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer or extract biometric data from our analysis
  • Share or redistribute face data analysis results outside the Zesty platform

9) Safety, No Guarantees

Zesty provides tools and analytics; we do not guarantee more matches, dates, relationships, or any particular outcome. You are solely responsible for your dating choices, communications, and safety off-platform.

10) Third-Party Logins & Integrations

If you sign in with a provider (e.g., Google):

  • We request minimal profile information (e.g., name, email, profile photo) to create your Zesty account and authenticate you.
  • We do not receive your passwords and do not post on your behalf.
  • We will not sell or transfer Google-provided user data to third parties except to operate the Service, comply with law, or with your consent.

11) Intellectual Property

The Service (software, design, VCI methodology, analytics, text, and graphics) is owned by Zesty or licensed to us and is protected by IP laws. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the Service except as permitted by law.

12) Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent activity.
  • Upload malicious code, scrape, harvest, or attempt to access others' data without permission.
  • Interfere with normal operation (e.g., spam voting, bots, fake accounts, vote manipulation).
  • Use the Service for employment, housing, credit, insurance eligibility, or other legally regulated decisions.

13) Moderation; Enforcement

We may review content and behavior and: remove content, limit visibility, pause or end Experiments, withhold credits in cases of abuse/fraud, or suspend/terminate accounts, especially for violations of these Terms or our policies.

14) Feedback

If you give us feedback or ideas, you grant us a free, perpetual license to use them without restriction or compensation.

15) Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, accurate AI outputs, or specific delivery speeds for votes.

16) Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Zesty and its affiliates, officers, employees, and partners are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages; loss of profits, data, or goodwill; or service interruptions. Our total liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid to Zesty in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim (or €50 if greater and to the extent permitted by law). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations—those rights take precedence.

17) Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Zesty harmless from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable laws.

18) Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and can request account deletion. We may suspend or terminate access at any time for any reason, including violations of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends; Sections that by nature should survive (e.g., licenses, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity) will survive.

19) Changes to the Service & Terms

We may modify the Service and these Terms. If we make material changes, we will notify you (e.g., in-app or by email). Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

20) Governing Law; Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Romania, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

Venue. The competent courts in Gorj County, Romania shall have jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer protections specify otherwise.

EU consumers. If you purchased directly from us (not via Apple/Google), you may have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital purchases unless you asked us to begin performance during that period (e.g., to start delivering votes/analytics immediately), in which case you acknowledge the right is lost once performance starts. For App Store/Google Play purchases, their terms govern. You may also use the EU Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform.

21) Country/Platform Terms

Apple App Store / Google Play. If you obtained the app via a store, the store's terms also apply. The store is not responsible for providing maintenance or support for the app, nor for any claims except as required by its policies.
