GIDE Technologies ("GIDE", "we", "us", or "our") operates the website www.gide.you (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site, sign up for our waitlist, or engage with our platform and affiliate partnerships.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information directly from you when you interact with our Site:

• Waitlist & Partner Inquiries: When you sign up for our waitlist or contact us regarding brand/affiliate partnerships, we collect your email address, name (if provided), brand/company name (if applicable), and any message content you submit.
• Technical & Usage Data: When you access the Site, our servers and analytics tools may automatically log standard technical data, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, access times, and pages viewed.
• Future Service Data (Platform Use): As our AI styling engine launches, we may process user-submitted data (such as wardrobe images, style preferences, and query inputs) strictly to generate styling recommendations.

2. How We Use Your Information

We process collected data for the following purposes:

• Communication: To send you updates regarding your waitlist status, early access invitations, platform updates, and responses to partnership inquiries.
• Service Optimization: To analyze traffic trends, monitor technical performance, and improve the functionality and design of our platform.
• Affiliate & Partner Integration: To manage business relationships, coordinate merchant catalog integrations, and evaluate platform engagement.
• Compliance & Security: To protect against unauthorized activity, enforce our terms, and comply with legal obligations.

3. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Retailers

• Our platform may display affiliate links to partner brands, merchants, and retail platforms.
• When you click on an outbound affiliate link, you will be redirected to a third-party merchant website. These third-party sites operate under their own independent privacy policies and terms of service.
• We may earn a commission from affiliate partners when you interact with or make a purchase through these links. Affiliate networks may use tracking cookies or parameters to attribute outbound referrals. We do not control and are not responsible for the data practices of third-party merchants.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR / AVG)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal grounds for collecting and using your personal data include:

• Consent: When you explicitly submit your email to join our waitlist or contact us.
• Legitimate Interests: To ensure technical security, manage B2B partnerships, and optimize platform functionality.
• Legal Obligation: Where necessary to comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

5. Data Sharing & Third-Party Service Providers

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share data with trusted third parties under strict confidentiality agreements:

• Infrastructure & Automation Providers: Hosting platforms, email delivery providers, and automation workflows (e.g., cloud hosting, database management, and form processing tools) that support our operations.
• Affiliate Networks: Anonymized or aggregate click-through data shared for attribution, tracking, and reporting purposes.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of GIDE Technologies, our users, or others.

6. Data Retention & Security

• We retain waitlist and inquiry data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or until you request its deletion.
• We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
