PRIVACY POLICY FOR FACCI APPLICATION

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

This Privacy Policy explains how Facci ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our fashion style generation application ("Facci" or the "Application"). We are committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) applicable in the United Kingdom. By using Facci, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Facci operates without requiring user accounts, which means we do not collect traditional account information such as usernames, passwords, or email addresses unless you choose to contact us. This policy describes our data handling practices in this account-free environment.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

When using Facci, you may provide certain information directly, including:

Basic body data (such as height, body type, size preferences) to generate personalized fashion recommendations
Style preferences and descriptions (e.g., "casual", "professional", "vintage")
Selected weather conditions for which you need fashion recommendations
Feedback, suggestions, or communications you send to us via email or within the Application

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you use Facci, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage, including:

Device information: model, operating system, unique device identifiers, network information
Usage data: features you use, frequency of use, interaction patterns with generated content
Technical data: crash reports, error logs, and other diagnostic information to improve functionality
Generated content history: records of fashion styles created through your device (stored locally and optionally in encrypted form on our servers)

1.3 Information from Third Parties

Since Facci operates without user accounts, we do not receive information from social media platforms or other third-party services unless you choose to share generated content through such platforms, in which case those third parties may collect information according to their own privacy policies.

2. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

Under UK data protection law, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

Consent: We process your body data, style preferences, and other provided information based on your explicit consent when using the Application's features.
Legitimate Interests: We process usage data and device information to improve the Application, ensure security, and develop new features, provided these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Performance of a Contract: Although no formal contract exists, we process information necessary to provide the core functionality of Facci as requested by you.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by uninstalling the Application or clearing your data through the Application settings.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To generate personalized fashion recommendations based on your input data and preferences
To maintain and improve the functionality and performance of Facci
To provide the "History" feature, allowing you to access previously generated styles
To develop new features and enhance the AI algorithms powering the Application
To respond to your feedback, questions, or support requests
To ensure the security of the Application and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized use
To comply with legal obligations under UK law

We will not use your personal data for purposes other than those stated in this Privacy Policy without first obtaining your consent.

4. DATA STORAGE AND RETENTION

4.1 Storage Locations

Your information may be stored:

Locally on your device (particularly your style history and preferences)
On secure servers located within the European Economic Area (EEA)
With third-party service providers who assist us in operating Facci, all of whom are bound by data protection obligations

4.2 Retention Periods

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide the Services and for legitimate business purposes, as follows:

Body data and style preferences: Retained locally on your device until you clear them or uninstall the Application
Generated style history: Retained for 90 days on our servers (if synced) and indefinitely on your device unless manually deleted
Usage data: Retained for 12 months for analytics and improvement purposes
Feedback and communications: Retained for 24 months to ensure quality responses and comply with legal obligations

When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with UK data protection standards.

5. DATA SECURITY

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

Encryption of data transmitted between your device and our servers
Secure storage protocols for data held on our servers
Regular security assessments and updates to our systems
Access controls limiting who can access your information within our organization

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously update our security practices to address evolving threats.

6. SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

With service providers who assist us in operating Facci (e.g., cloud hosting providers), who are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes
When required by law, court order, or other legal process
To protect our legitimate business interests, rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or others
With your explicit consent for a specific purpose

When you share generated fashion styles through third-party platforms, those companies may collect information about you according to their own privacy policies, which we do not control.
