Elyne ("the app", "we", "our") is a personal-assistant tool that helps users curate visual moodboards for personal-growth practice across nine spheres of life. This document explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it. We have written it in plain language — no legal jargon unless necessary.
1. Data we collect
Pinterest API data. When a user connects their Pinterest account, we read public pin and board metadata — image URLs, titles, captions, board names — via the official Pinterest API. Authentication is handled by Pinterest via OAuth; we do not receive or store Pinterest passwords.
User-provided preferences. Style-archetype selections, life-sphere preferences, and other inputs the user enters inside the Elyne app.
Usage data. Anonymous events — which screens were visited, which archetypes were selected — for improving the product. We do not collect personally identifiable information beyond what the user explicitly provides.
2. What we do NOT collect
- We do not collect or store Pinterest passwords.
- We do not sell or share user data with third parties for advertising.
- We do not scrape Pinterest content outside the official API.
- We do not access private boards or pins the user has not explicitly granted access to.
3. How we use the data
- To display a personalised visual style moodboard inside the Elyne app.
- To help the user visualise their chosen archetype across the nine life spheres.
- To improve the quality of future style recommendations.
4. Data storage and retention
Pinterest API responses are cached locally on the user's device and/or on Elyne's secured infrastructure. We retain data only for as long as necessary to provide the service. Users can request deletion of their data at any time by writing to boxolegr88@gmail.com.
5. Third parties
Pinterest (Pinterest, Inc.). Used as described above. Pinterest's own privacy policy applies: policy.pinterest.com/en/privacy-policy.
We do not use advertising networks, trackers, or analytics providers that sell personal data.
6. Children
Elyne is not intended for users under the age of 18.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. Material changes will be announced in the app and dated at the top of this document.
