Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Garma ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your information when you use our platform and services (the "Service"). We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and handling your data responsibly.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, password (stored in hashed form), company name, and billing information. This information is necessary to provide the Service and process payments.
1.2 Content You Upload
We collect and store the garment photographs and other images you upload to the Service, as well as any text inputs such as collection names, client information, season data, and custom prompt text. This content is processed to deliver the AI image generation service.
1.3 Generated Content
We store the AI-generated images produced through your use of the Service, along with associated metadata such as the style template used, generation timestamps, and approval status.
1.4 Usage Data
We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages visited, features used, generation history, credit consumption, session duration, device information, browser type, and IP address.
1.5 Payment Information
Payment processing is handled by our third-party providers. We do not store your full credit card number or payment credentials on our servers. We receive and store transaction identifiers, billing addresses, and payment status information from our payment processors.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
- Process your garment photographs through AI models to generate product images.
- Manage your account, subscriptions, and credit balance.
- Process payments and issue invoices.
- Communicate with you about your account, service updates, and support requests.
- Analyze usage patterns to improve the Service, fix bugs, and develop new features.
- Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
- Comply with legal obligations.
3. AI Image Processing
When you initiate an image generation, your uploaded photographs and selected style parameters are sent to third-party AI services for processing. This transmission is necessary to produce the generated images. We send only the data required for generation and do not share your account information or other personal data with these AI providers.
AI-generated images are stored in our cloud infrastructure and associated with your account. Our AI providers may process your image data according to their own privacy policies and data processing terms. We select AI providers that commit to not using customer data for training purposes.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with the following categories of third parties:
- Payment Processors: Third-party providers that handle payment and billing on our behalf.
- Analytics Providers: To help us understand usage patterns and improve the Service.
- Legal Compliance: When required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of the transaction.
5. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers operated by our cloud infrastructure providers. We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest.
- Fine-grained access control policies on all stored data.
- Authentication via secure token-based sessions with automatic expiry.
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments.
- Access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account data and generated content for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data and uploaded content within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal compliance, dispute resolution, or enforcement of our Terms.
Usage logs and anonymized analytics data may be retained for up to 24 months for service improvement purposes.
