You own your photos and notes, but Folicle needs permission to process them for the app to work.
You can request account deletion from the app or from the public deletion page.
Service

What Folicle does

Folicle is a hair-growth tracking app and website operated by Lungu Andrei Leonard. Folicle helps users take more consistent scalp photos, track treatment routines, store progress notes, view reminders, review trends, and prepare clearer information for a dermatologist visit.

  • Folicle is built for measurement and organization, not diagnosis.
  • Folicle may offer photo analysis, Hair Score, AI Coach, educational content, tools, and community-style stories.
  • Feature availability can vary by platform, plan, country, device, and app version.
Important

No medical advice

Folicle does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or prescribe for any condition. Hair loss can have medical causes, including hormonal, autoimmune, nutritional, medication-related, inflammatory, postpartum, or stress-related causes.

  • Do not use Folicle as a substitute for a board-certified dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or other qualified clinician.
  • Talk to a clinician before starting, stopping, combining, or changing medications such as finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, ketoconazole, supplements, or any compounded treatment.
  • Seek medical care promptly for sudden shedding, patchy loss, scalp pain, infection signs, severe side effects, mood changes, sexual side effects, pregnancy-related questions, or any urgent concern.
  • AI-generated analysis and educational content may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong.
Accounts

Your account responsibilities

You are responsible for the information you provide, the security of your login, and any activity under your account.

  • You must provide accurate account information and keep your login credentials secure.
  • You may not access another person’s account, photos, treatment logs, or private information without permission.
  • Folicle is intended for adults. Do not use Folicle if you are under 18 unless your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and accepted these terms where legally permitted.
Billing

Subscriptions and purchases

Paid features may be sold through Apple App Store or Google Play. Store billing is handled by the relevant app store, while RevenueCat helps us manage subscription status and restore purchases.

  • Subscription pricing, renewal dates, trials, taxes, and cancellation options are shown before purchase in the relevant app store flow.
  • You can cancel subscriptions through your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings.
  • Deleting the app or deleting your Folicle account may not automatically cancel an active store subscription.
  • Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google according to their policies, unless local law requires otherwise.
Photos and AI

Scalp photos, AI Coach, and generated analysis

Folicle may process scalp photos, treatment context, scores, notes, and coach messages to create progress reports or AI responses.

  • Only upload photos and information that you have the right to use.
  • AI outputs are informational and should be checked against your own records and medical advice.
  • Lighting, angle, hair length, styling, camera quality, shedding cycles, and treatment changes can all affect perceived progress.
  • Do not submit emergency medical questions to AI Coach.
User content

Your photos, notes, and stories

You keep ownership of the photos, notes, treatment logs, and stories you submit. You give Folicle the limited permission needed to host, process, display, analyze, and back up that content so the service can work.

  • Private app content stays private according to the Privacy Policy and app permissions.
  • If you submit a public story, you allow Folicle to display, edit for formatting, moderate, and promote that story on Folicle pages.
  • Do not submit content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, misleading, spammy, or that exposes someone else’s private data.
  • We may remove public stories or content that appears unsafe, abusive, promotional, medically misleading, or unrelated to hair-loss experience.
Rules

Acceptable use

Use Folicle in a way that respects other users, the product, and the sensitive nature of health-related personal data.

  • Do not reverse engineer, scrape, overload, attack, or interfere with Folicle systems.
  • Do not use Folicle to build a competing database, train models, spam users, or extract private data.
  • Do not bypass paywalls, abuse promotions, automate fake submissions, or misrepresent your identity.
  • Do not upload malware, illegal material, or third-party photos without consent.
Privacy

Privacy and account deletion

Our Privacy Policy explains what data Folicle collects, why we process it, what third parties support the service, and how long data is retained.

  • You can request access, export, correction, or deletion by contacting [email protected].
  • You can delete your account in the app settings when the app is installed.
  • If you no longer have the app, use the public account deletion page at /delete-account.
  • Some purchase, tax, fraud-prevention, backup, support, or legal records may be retained where required or permitted by law.
Changes

Availability, updates, and changes

We may change, pause, remove, or improve parts of Folicle over time, including through app updates and over-the-air updates.

  • We try to keep Folicle useful and stable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.
  • Features may change as we learn from users, fix bugs, adjust pricing, or comply with platform requirements.
  • We may update these terms. The updated date on this page shows the latest version.
Legal

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

Folicle is provided as-is and as-available to the maximum extent allowed by law. We do not promise that Folicle will detect every change, prevent hair loss, improve treatment outcomes, or replace clinical judgment.

  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, Folicle is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
  • Folicle is not responsible for medical decisions, treatment choices, provider advice, app-store billing issues, third-party service outages, or user-submitted content.
  • Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be limited under applicable consumer law.
Termination

Suspension or termination

You can stop using Folicle at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if an account appears to violate these terms, creates legal risk, harms other users, or abuses the service.

  • After termination, some terms continue where needed, including medical disclaimers, privacy, ownership, acceptable use, and liability limits.
  • Account deletion requests are handled according to the Privacy Policy and deletion page.
