Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 21, 2026

What we collect

Newsletter and waitlist: when you subscribe, we store the email address you submit. We use it only to send the updates you asked for, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Accounts (when available): if you create an account by signing in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from Google. Features tied to your account — such as saved places or an optional beauty profile (skin and hair preferences you choose to share) — are stored so we can show them back to you and improve recommendations. The beauty profile is always optional and can be edited or cleared.

Messages: if you contact us, we keep the message so we can reply.

What we don't do

We do not sell personal data. We do not republish other people's reviews or private content. We collect nothing beyond what the features above need.

Cookies, analytics, and ads

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are useful. If we show ads (such as Google AdSense) in the future, the ad provider may set cookies to serve and measure ads; where required, we will ask for your consent first.

Affiliate links

Some articles contain affiliate links. The editor of this site may personally earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects what we recommend.

Where your data lives

Data is processed by our infrastructure providers: Supabase (database and authentication) and Vercel (hosting). Sign-in, when available, is provided by Google. Each processes data on our behalf under their own security terms.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from emails at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account data or anything else we hold about you — contact us and we will handle it promptly.

Changes

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we will update this page and the date above.
