Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how [Company Legal Name] ("Hangers," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website, apps, and services (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to this Policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Waitlist details — the username you reserve and your email address.
• Profile information (when accounts launch) — such as your display name, the styling categories you offer or seek, photos you upload, and social accounts you choose to link (e.g., Instagram, TikTok).
• Communications — messages you send us or, later, other users.
• Payment information (when booking launches) — handled by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers.

Information we collect automatically

• Usage and device data — such as pages viewed, actions taken, approximate location derived from IP, browser and device type, and identifiers.
• Cookies and similar technologies — used to keep you signed in, remember preferences (like your light/dark theme), and understand how the Service is used.

2. How we use information

• Operate the waitlist and, later, provide and personalize the Service.
• Match Clients with Stylists and enable bookings and communication.
• Process payments and prevent fraud and abuse.
• Send you launch updates, service messages, and — with your consent where required — marketing emails.
• Improve and secure the Service and comply with legal obligations.

3. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed:

• Between users — profile and booking details are shared with the Stylist or Client as needed to provide the Service.
• Service providers — vendors who help us operate (e.g., hosting, email delivery, analytics, and a payment processor such as Stripe), under contracts that limit their use of your data.
• Legal and safety — when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and property of Hangers, our users, or the public.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

4. Your choices and rights

You can turn off product analytics and session recording at any time in Settings → Privacy preferences. That setting applies to the browser you set it in.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to opt out of marketing (every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link). To exercise these rights, contact us at [privacy@hangers.com]. We will respond as required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

Region-specific disclosures (e.g., GDPR legal bases and EU representative, CCPA/CPRA categories and "Do Not Sell or Share") should be added here based on where you operate and who your users are.

5. Data retention

We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide the Service and for legitimate business or legal purposes, then delete or anonymize it. Waitlist information is kept until launch and for a reasonable period afterward, or until you ask us to remove it.

6. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children

The Service is not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. International users

We may process and store information in countries other than where you live. Where required, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy as the Service evolves. If changes are material, we'll take reasonable steps to notify you. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version.
