This Privacy Policy explains what information of yours will be collected by StyleHub Men LLC and its Group Companies when you use our Services, how the information will be used, and how you can control the collection, correction, and/or deletion of information. Note that certain third parties may be able to identify you across sites and services and over time using the information they process. However, any such processing not done at the direction of StyleHub Men LLC is outside the scope of this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy policies, content, or security of any linked third – party websites or services. We recommend that you check the privacy and security policies of each and every website and service that you visit.
INFORMATION WE PROCESS
The types of information we process depend on how you use our Services. Many of our Services require users to set up an account, which involves the collection and processing of your name and email address. Other Services may require the collection of additional information. For example, Our Website helps to connect its community of designers with people and companies in need of their skills. In order to do so, Our Website collects payments data and other information required to comply with relevant legal obligations.
The following table explains the types of information we collect and how we collect it. These categories of data may collectively be referred to as “Your Information”.
Basic Account Information
In order to use our Services, StyleHub Men LLC and its Group Companies may require you to register and create an account. Depending on the Service, you will be required to provide a name and email address, and to choose an avatar and username.
Profile Information
People use our Services for different reasons. Some are looking for the perfect tools to help them create or share their designs. Others join our community in order to be inspired, or even to find the right designer to help them with a project.
Depending on your needs, you may provide us with additional personal information, including your area of expertise (e.g., branding and logo design) and details of any training courses you have completed for your profile.
Identity Information
For certain Services, such as creating a shop, StyleHub Men LLC and its Group Companies may also be required to collect your full name, date of birth, national identification number, photo identification, and other information in order to verify your identity and to comply with applicable law.
Payment and Billing Information
Users can pay to gain access to specific design tools and fonts, or to attend workshops and other training events. Our users can unlock a range of additional features, which enable them to sell their designs online or to enhance their profiles.
Whatever our users’ individual needs, sometimes StyleHub Men LLC and its Group Companies will collect and process payments information. For instance, we collect the credit card information provided to us during checkout, for billing and payment purposes, and to process your transaction.
Additional information, including billing contact name, postal address, and telephone number may be necessary in order for us to provide a particular service.
User – Generated Content
Users can update their profiles to include custom avatars or photos, along with additional biographical information. They can create custom videos for their profile, in which they can “pitch” their talents to prospective employers. They may also upload their designs to the platform, engage in monthly playoffs, and even open a shop to advertise their goods or services for sale. Certain users may also post freelance projects and other job opportunities.

We may ask you to complete surveys that we use for research purposes, or to evaluate our marketing or support efforts, and in those cases we store the answers given.

Location Data
While users can provide their location or shipping address in the course of using our Services, we also automatically collect certain location information, including your IP address and location information provided by your device.

Information Collected Through Cookies
When you visit a Service, we use cookies and related technologies (such as clear GIFs/web beacons) to identify the browser, to identify which page variant a visitor has seen, to determine if a visitor has clicked on a page variant, and to monitor traffic patterns and gauge popularity of service options.

Sensitive Personal Data
Data Protection Law recognizes that certain types of information require additional protection. In particular, the GDPR prohibits the processing of sensitive personal data, other than in certain exceptional circumstances. Sensitive personal data in the EU includes information relating to one’s race or ethnicity, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union, as well as biometric data and data relating to one’s health or sexual orientation. Certain state laws in the US also have different definitions of sensitive personal data.
We do not knowingly collect or process any sensitive personal data. However, some users may make such information public when using our Services. For example, our website allows users to add a biography to their profile. This is a free – text section where users can include any information they wish, provided they comply with the relevant Terms of Service. Users are in control of what information they share and, to the extent they choose to make sensitive personal data public, they may delete or amend this information at any time.
HOW WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION AND OUR LEGAL BASES FOR DOING SO
We collect and process Your Information whenever you use our Services. Consistent with relevant Data Protection Law, we are required to identify a legal basis for each of our processing activities.
Under EU law, there are six different bases, which may be relied upon to enable the lawful processing of Your Information. In particular, data controllers may process personal data:
- where they have received freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent from a data subject (“Consent”);
- where processing is necessary to conclude and perform a contract (“Contractual Necessity”);
- where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which they are subject (“Legal Obligation”); or
- in pursuit of the data controller’s legitimate interests, except where these interests are overridden by the rights and freedoms of individuals (“Legitimate Interests”).
Under the CCPA, we are required to disclose the purposes for which we collect your information. These purposes can be divided into two main categories:
Business Purposes
These include auditing, security, debugging/repair, certain short – term uses, performing services, internal research for technical development, quality and safety maintenance, and verification. Additionally, we may use your information for our operational purposes or other notified purposes, as long as it is reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the operational purpose.
Commercial Purposes
This involves using your information to advance our commercial or economic interests. For example, we may encourage others to buy, rent, lease, join, subscribe to, provide, or exchange products, goods, property, information, or services. We may also enable or effect, directly or indirectly, a commercial transaction.
StyleHub Men LLC and its Group Companies primarily rely on Consent, Contractual Necessity, Legal Obligation, and Legitimate Interests when processing your information. Below, we will explain the purposes for which we process this information, along with the relevant categories of data we use and the legal basis we rely on to do so (for purposes of the GDPR) or other permitted reasons for processing (e.g., Business Purposes or Commercial Purposes under the CCPA).
