Privacy Policy

StyleChart is a private record of your services, formulas, products and photos that belongs to you. This policy explains what information StyleChart Technologies, LLC, a subsidiary of Whole Atlas (“StyleChart,” “we,” “us”), collects through the StyleChart apps and website, how we use and share it, and the choices you have.

1. What we collect

Information you give us

Information created when you use StyleChart

What we don’t collect

We remove location data and other hidden metadata (EXIF GPS, XMP, IPTC and PNG text) from every photo before it’s stored. The apps don’t include advertising SDKs or third-party tracking, and we don’t track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

2. How we use information

3. Derived data

We create information derived from how StyleChart is used, such as how often services are booked, which categories, techniques, brands, shades and products are popular, and how those trends change by region or over time. Before we use derived data beyond operating your account, we de-identify and aggregate it so it doesn’t identify you, your professional, or any individual record, and we don’t attempt to re-identify it.

We may use de-identified, aggregated data for any lawful purpose, including research, product development, industry insights, and sharing or licensing it with partners such as product brands, distributors and salons. Because it can’t reasonably identify you, it isn’t personal information.

Health information is never part of derived data. Sensitivities, allergies and reactions you record are used only to show them to you and the professionals you share with. We never use them for advertising, marketing or data mining, and we never sell or license them.

4. When information is shared

We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Sign in with Google. When you sign in with Google, we receive only your Google account identifier and, if Google shares it, your verified email address. StyleChart’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We don’t use it for advertising, and we don’t transfer it to others except as needed to provide StyleChart, for security, or to comply with law.

5. Your choices and rights

6. Retention and deletion

We keep your information while your account is active. When you delete your account, we permanently erase your StyleChart (its entries, formulas, products, photos, notes, shares and access log), your profiles, your sign-in links and your sessions, and we remove your photo files from storage.

If you used StyleChart as a professional, services you recorded on your clients’ StyleCharts stay on those records, because they belong to your clients. Your name, photo, specialty and code are removed, and those entries show as “Former member.” Your private professional notes are deleted. Copies may remain in backups and security logs for a limited time before they’re overwritten. De-identified, aggregated data isn’t affected by deletion.

7. Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Every request to a StyleChart record goes through a single authorization check. Photos are stored privately and are only served to people allowed to see them, and access by anyone other than the owner is logged. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify you of a breach as the law requires.

8. Children

StyleChart isn’t directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

9. Changes and contact

StyleChart operates in the United States, and your information is stored and processed there. If we make material changes to this policy, we’ll update the effective date and let you know in the app or by email before they take effect.
