See the prior versions of our Privacy Policy here.

Here are a few key points about our privacy practices:

• We are an AI-powered platform that provides personal styling, shopping assistant, and wardrobe management services. 
• What we do: 
  • We make personalized clothing and outfit recommendations (or provide advice if the items match your style and fit your wardrobe) by analyzing your selfie, as well as other physical parameters and your preferences.
  • We help to unlock your style potential and enhance your understanding of what complements your appearance.
  • Our AI features mix and match pieces from your own wardrobe into outfits to maximize what you already own.
  • To personalize our advice, we analyze your complexion and facial features from a selfie, assess your body type, height, take body measurements, and consider your preferences. We may analyze photos of your clothes uploaded to the App to find the best matches or pairings.
  • To use the app and the services it offers, you may need to provide your Personal information as specified in this policy (“Personal Information”) . To use the ‘How to Style’ and ‘Wardrobe management’ services, you can upload any photos of items you have, and the application will generate outfits incorporating them (all the above together with the ‘Purposes’).
• To make sure our services run smoothly, we use third-party providers – for example, Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud for cloud storage and data processing.  All such providers are bound by our mutual contractual arrangements and are not able to use your data for any purpose except the one Style DNA tells them to.
• We use the photographs or any other personal information you provide us only in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Purposes.
• We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your Personal Information from loss, theft, misuse, or unauthorized access.

Service providers.   We engage other companies to process your Personal Information on our behalf. This is normal in the tech industry: even if we wanted, it would be extremely difficult and impractical for us to build our own hosting facilities, analytics and email delivery services. We refer to these companies or service providers as “processors.” We prohibit the service providers we engage from using Personal Information for any purpose that is not related to our engagement.

Processors are companies that help us run the Services, support our communication with you, or perform other Services-related activities. They may process certain Personal Information on our behalf to accomplish the goals related to the App functions, deliver the Services and associated activities.

Unless a separate consent is required under applicable law, consent to this Privacy Policy shall constitute consent to such activity.

Third-party platforms and social media networks. If you have enabled features or functionality that connect the Services to a third-party platform or social media network (such as by logging into the App using your account with the third-party, providing your API key or similar access token for the Service to a third-party, or otherwise linking your account with the Service to a third-party’s services), we may disclose the Personal Information that you authorized us to share, such as when you elect to upload a photograph from the Services to your social media account.

7. Other Sites, Mobile Applications and Services

The Services may contain links to other websites, mobile applications and online services operated by third parties. These links are not an endorsement of, or indication that we are affiliated with, any third party. In addition, our content may be included on webpages or in mobile applications or online services that are not associated with us. We do not control third party websites, mobile applications or online services and we are not responsible for their actions. Other websites, mobile applications and online services follow different rules regarding the collection, use and sharing of your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites, mobile applications and online services you use.

8. Data Security and Retention

We implement technical and organizational measures in an effort to protect Personal Information from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information that we process, and risks associated with special categories of Personal Information we collect.

Specifically, We implemented the following measures to protect your Personal Information:

• Encryption: We use an industry-standard security protocol (Secure Sockets Layer—SSL) to help ensure that the information is encrypted and protected from third parties. SSL helps ensure that the communication between your browser and our servers is private and that the information contained therein is safe and delivered only to our computers.
• Firewall: Once your information reaches our servers, we protect it in many ways, including storing it on secure servers and using a device known as a firewall which protects your information by detecting and preventing unauthorized access to the information.
• Authorized access: Using our firewalls and other mechanisms, we also protect your information by only allowing access to it by employees and authorized parties who have a legitimate and verified need to access the information in order to service your requests and administer policies and claims.

9.Cross-Border Data Transfers

STYLE DNA is based in Spain. Personal Information we collect is transferred to and processed in the U.S. (where it is governed by U.S. law) and to other countries (where it is governed by the laws of those countries). The laws of the U.S. and the laws of other countries may not offer the same protections as the laws of your jurisdiction.

Personal Information in the European Union (EU), the EEA and the United Kingdom (UK) is protected by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018, but some other countries may not necessarily have the same standard of protection for your Personal Information. When transferring Personal Information outside the EU, EEA, and UK we either implement standard contractual clauses or rely on current European Commission adequacy decisions. For further information, please contact info@styledna.ai

10. Children

Minors under 18 years of age are not able to contractually agree to the terms of use required by this and its paid edition. For this reason, for the protection of minors, the application is not directed at minors under the age of 18, and our Тerms of Use do not allow minors under 18 years of age to use the Service. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of a child under the age of 18, we will delete it. We encourage parents with concerns to contact us. We do not store or process Personal data of anyone below 18.

12. Notice to California and Virginia Residents

As a matter of principle and commitment to our users, we never sell Personal iInformation.  Under certain US state laws, for example, California and Virginia, if we disclose Personal Information to a third party for any benefit, this might formally qualify as  a “sale” or “share” of Personal Information, even if the third party does not use the Personal Information for any commercial or alike purpose. We may “share”, as defined in such laws, Personal Information if we disclose personal information to a company for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.  

California and Virginia laws grant its residents the following additional rights.

• Request to opt out: While we do not sell your Personal Information for monetary gain, you have the right to opt out of our “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information to our analytics and advertising partners. To exercise this right, you can adjust your browser or device settings, or contact us. 
• Request to know/access: In addition to the other rights mentioned in this policy, you have the right to request to know: (i) the personal and sensitive information we have collected about you and our purposes of use; and (ii) the categories, sources and third parties involved in Personal Information we have collected about you or ‘sold’ or disclosed in the past 12 months. You may exercise your right to request to know twice a year, free of charge.
• Shine the Light. California residents may also request information from us once a calendar year about any personal information shared with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. We don’t share information with third parties for their own marketing uses, but please contact us at info@styledna.ai if you have questions. You’ll need to specify “California Privacy Rights Request” in the subject line of the email, and also include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code.
