Uploaded photographs

Photos are processed by OpenAI to describe clothing. API requests disable response storage, but this is not a promise of zero retention by the provider. Provider retention and data-use terms apply.

The current analysis flow keeps the photo and its results in bounded server memory for a 30-minute session to support manual selections. Expired sessions are removed by a cleanup that runs every minute; restarts or capacity limits may end a session sooner. Uploaded photos are not deliberately saved to the application database by this analysis flow. Do not upload images you lack permission to share.

We process uploaded photos only to provide the analysis you request. Our providers are OpenAI for image analysis, SerpApi for visual product search, Stripe for payments, Resend for email, and Google for analytics and advertising. Each handles data under its own terms. We do not keep historical copies of uploaded photos.

Visual product search

To find possible brands and similar products, StyleFinder sends garment-only crops from your uploaded photo to SerpApi's Google Lens API. We exclude faces from these crops or mask detected faces that remain in frame. If a safe garment crop cannot be established, we skip visual search for that item. We do not send your full photo to SerpApi.

Crops are uploaded directly to SerpApi; we do not create public crop links on our servers. We discard our temporary crop buffers after processing and do not save them as crop files. We may retain a one-way crop hash and returned product-match information in a bounded server-memory cache for up to 24 hours to avoid repeating searches. This is separate from the photo-session retention described above.

SerpApi's uploaded image IDs expire after 10 minutes. This does not mean provider-held search data is deleted within 10 minutes: SerpApi's standard retention period is 31 days, and downstream providers, including Google, may apply their own retention policies. Our deletion of temporary crops does not delete copies held by those providers. We do not use your uploaded photos to train models.

Accounts, usage and payments

We keep usage records based on a hash derived from IP address and browser User-Agent, and records of credit purchases, gifts, use, refunds and adjustments needed to manage your balance. Stripe processes payment details. Email verification uses emailed codes through Resend. A signed account access token is stored in browser local storage.

Account and credit records are kept while the account is active and deleted within 30 days of a verified deletion request, except records we must keep for tax, accounting, or fraud prevention. Usage records based on the hashed IP and browser identifier are kept for up to 12 months.

Contact messages contain the name, email and message you submit and are forwarded through Resend. Contact messages are kept for up to 12 months, then deleted.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

Cookies support private photo sessions, checkout ownership and administrator access. Google Analytics measures visits and interactions. Sponsored placements and advertising may appear for free users; external services may collect device and interaction information under their own policies.

You can request access to or deletion of your data by emailing thestylefinderhq@gmail.com.

The service is operated from the United States. Data is processed in the United States and by the providers listed above. By using the service, you understand that your data is processed there. Analytics and advertising cookies are used as described above, and you can control cookies through your browser settings.
