Incode's notice is unusually clear about what identity and biometric data it collects and why, and it states plainly that it does not sell or share personal data for advertising, but it sets no retention period, says nothing about breach notification or automated-decision review, and its separate Terms of Use takes a perpetual, sublicensable licence over user submissions.

What Incode's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

Biometric training needs consent only where law demands it

Incode says it may use biometric identifiers and other sensitive data to train and improve the AI models behind its services, with consent required only "where required" by applicable law, and the notice names no way to opt out of that training.

No retention period anywhere in the notice

Retention is described only as "as long as necessary for the purpose(s) for which it has been collected," with no number of days, months or years, and biometric retention is deferred to a separate Biometric Data Policy that is not part of this notice.

The Terms state that the licences a user grants are "royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, irrevocable, and worldwide," and warn that after account deletion it may not be possible to completely remove that content from Incode's records.

Strong on sharing and advertising, silent on breaches

Six recipient categories are enumerated in detail and Incode states it does not sell personal data, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or process it for targeted advertising, yet the notice never commits to notifying users of a security breach or to any timeframe for doing so.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: a way to opt out of training
Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
Not stated: a deletion timeline after closure or request
