How We Use Your Data
We use information from you for the purposes listed below:

For example,after you agree to submit a photo for face comparison with the Aryan Recognition Tool, we use your image to extract face embeddings for comparison to the stored data set of aryan and non-aryan faces such that you will be able to receive the resultant report of a percentage similarity to the average “Aryan” face, and best matched “Aryan” faces.
- To ensure quality, maintain safety, and improve our Services. For example, monitoring and analyzing how users interact with different pages on our Website will help us make our website easier to use or find out where people may experience errors.
- To measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our outreach. For example, by understanding where most users are visiting us from, we can think about translating our content to suit their native language. Or for example, being able to see where the link is shared the most will provide insights to how to list our Services on search engines.

For example, by detecting security incidents; detecting and protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; fighting spam submissions; complying with our legal obligations; and protecting the rights and property of ART and others, which may result in us, for example, declining site visitation from your location and/or device, and terminating Services with You.
