Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Margot ("we", "us", "our"), operated by BRAMS Technologies LLC, collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use the Margot mobile application (the "App").

By using Margot, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Who we are

Margot is a mobile application that helps you digitise your wardrobe, get outfit suggestions, and decide whether new clothing items fit your existing closet. The App is developed and operated by BRAMS Technologies LLC.

Contact email: margot@margotwardrobe.com

2. Data we collect

We collect only the data necessary to deliver the App's features.

We do not collect: precise advertising identifiers (IDFA), browsing history outside the App, contacts, microphone audio, health data, or financial account details.

3. How we use your data

We use your data exclusively to:

• Power the App's core features (digital wardrobe, outfit suggestions, "Check Before You Buy", Vinted listing generation).
• Personalise outfit recommendations based on your wear history, style preferences, and calendar/weather context.
• Process and validate subscription payments via Apple's IAP system and RevenueCat.
• Diagnose technical issues, monitor App stability, and improve features.
• Communicate with you about account or subscription matters.

We do not sell your app data, share wardrobe contents with data brokers, or use your wardrobe data for advertising.

4. Automated styling and image processing

Margot uses Google Gemini through a server-side proxy to generate outfit suggestions, analyse clothing, create shopping verdicts, and prepare wardrobe or resale content. Depending on the feature you use, the following information may be sent for processing:

• Wardrobe item descriptions such as categories, colors, materials, seasons, and style tags.
• Photos or screenshots you explicitly submit for wardrobe import, item analysis, product photo generation, or purchase checks.
• The day's context, such as weather and relevant calendar event titles or times.
• Your stated style preferences and app settings.

We do not send your name, email address, payment details, or direct account identifier to model providers. Requests are routed through our backend so API keys stay private and usage can be rate-limited.

5. Third parties we share data with

We use a small number of trusted service providers to operate the App.

We do not share wardrobe or account data with advertising networks, data brokers, or third-party marketing services.

6. How long we keep your data

• Wardrobe data, wear logs, account data: retained as long as your account exists. Active account data is deleted when you delete your account, while backups and operational logs may take up to 30 days to expire.
• Crash reports and analytics: retained for 90 days, then aggregated/anonymised or deleted.
• Subscription receipts: retained as required by Apple's IAP records (typically 7 years for tax/legal purposes).

You can delete your account at any time from the App's Settings screen. This removes your active account and wardrobe data immediately, subject to the backup, log, and legal retention periods described above.

7. Your rights (GDPR & equivalent)

If you are located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar privacy laws, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Delete your data (right to erasure).
• Export your data in a portable format.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent for optional permissions at any time via iOS Settings.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email margot@margotwardrobe.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Security

• All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+).
• Data at rest in Supabase is encrypted (AES-256).
• Access to production systems is restricted to authorised personnel.
• Authentication uses Apple Sign In / Google Sign In OAuth; we do not store passwords.

If we become aware of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you within 72 hours, in accordance with GDPR Article 33.

9. Children's privacy

Margot is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe we have collected data from a child under 13, please contact us at margot@margotwardrobe.com and we will delete it promptly.

In the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the minimum age for using the App is 16 unless a parent or guardian consents.

10. International data transfers

Some of our service providers are located outside the European Economic Area, including Google, RevenueCat, and other infrastructure providers in the United States. Where data is transferred internationally, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission to ensure your data receives an equivalent level of protection.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you in the App and update the "Last updated" date at the top.
