Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Potik Technologies OÜ ("we", "us", "our") collects and processes your personal data when you use Wearli, our AI-powered wardrobe management application.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled with the utmost care and transparency. We only collect the essential information necessary to provide our service—nothing more.

You can review our full privacy policy below for details on how we collect, use, and protect your data. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at contact@wearli.app.


Who is this privacy policy for?

Potik Technologies OÜ places great importance on the protection and confidentiality of your personal data, considering it a fundamental pillar of trust. Our Privacy Policy reflects our commitment to ensuring compliance with applicable data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This policy aims to inform you about how and why we process your personal data in connection with the Wearli application.

What services are covered by this policy?

This policy applies to all services related to our AI-powered wardrobe management application, specifically:

  • Account data — Information you provide when creating an account, including your email address and authentication credentials.
  • Wardrobe data — Photos of clothing items you upload, along with categories, tags, and preferences you assign to them.
  • Style preferences — Your outfit history, favorite combinations, and style analytics data generated by your usage.
  • Payment information — Processed securely through Apple App Store or Google Play Store; we do not have access to or store your payment card details.
  • Technical data — Device identifiers, app usage patterns, and crash reports collected for security and service improvement.
  • Location data (optional) — You can set your location in your profile settings (either manually or via auto-detection with your permission) to receive weather-based outfit suggestions. This data is stored in your profile and can be removed at any time.
  • Timezone — We detect your timezone to schedule personalized features such as your daily "look of the day" notification.

Data we explicitly do not collect or store

Wearli is designed to respect your privacy. We explicitly do not collect or store:

  • Biometric data — No facial recognition, body measurements, or biometric identifiers are extracted or stored.
  • Location history — We do not track your location over time or build a location history. If you choose to save your location for weather features, only your current/home location is stored, not a history of where you've been.
  • Sensitive personal data — No health, financial, or other sensitive categories of data.

How AI processes your data

Wearli uses artificial intelligence to provide outfit suggestions, wardrobe analytics, and content moderation. Here's how we handle your data in AI processing:

  • Image analysis — When you upload photos (including photos of yourself wearing clothes), these images are processed by AI services for clothing analysis and outfit suggestions.
  • Content moderation — AI is used to detect and prevent harmful content, including images of minors, to ensure platform safety.
  • No biometric extraction — While photos containing people may be processed, we do not extract, store, or use any biometric data (facial features, body measurements, etc.).
  • No personal account data to AI — Your personal information (name, email, etc.) is never sent to AI providers.
  • Transient processing — Images are processed in real-time by AI providers and are not retained by them after processing.

Technical infrastructure and third-party services

We use carefully selected third-party services to provide our platform. All processors are GDPR-compliant and bound by data processing agreements:

Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including encryption in transit and at rest, secure authentication mechanisms, and regular security assessments. While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
