Privacy policy
Plain-English. We aim to collect the minimum data needed to run the service.
Who we are
Nendo (the “Service”) is operated by Ronaldo Kurswell, a solo developer. Contact: nendodigital@proton.me. The Service is currently in closed beta.
What we collect
- Your email address. Used to authenticate your account via magic-link sign-in (Auth.js) and to send transactional email (welcome, purchase receipt, low-credit notice). Stored in our Postgres database until you ask us to delete the account.
- Saved muses you create. The muse name, description, and any reference images you choose to save are stored in our Postgres database + Vercel Blob storage, scoped to your account. You can delete a saved muse at any time from the studio.
- Purchase history. If you buy a credit pack, we store the pack name, credits granted, amount paid (cents), Stripe checkout session id, and expiry date. We do not store your card number — Stripe holds payment details on their side and we receive only the session reference.
- Reference images and brief text for one-off generations. Held in your browser’s sessionStorage and posted to our image-generation provider for the duration of a single lookbook build. Not stored on our servers after the response unless you explicitly save them as a muse.
- Usage log. Each credit-spending event (which lookbook kind, when, how many credits) is logged to our database for billing transparency. Visible to you on
/account. - IP address. Used for rate-limiting only. Held in lambda memory, cleared when the day window resets.
- Anonymous analytics via Vercel Analytics — page views and country, no personal identifiers.
What we do NOT collect
- No password — we use magic-link sign-in only.
- No card details — payments are processed by Stripe, who hold that data under their own privacy policy.
- No tracking cookies for advertising.
- No selling or sharing of personal data with third parties beyond the processors named below.
- No marketing emails unless you explicitly opt in.
Third-party processors
Nendo runs on the following processors. Each receives only the data needed to do its job:
- Vercel — web hosting, serverless functions, file storage (Vercel Blob), and anonymous analytics.
- Neon — Postgres database (account, purchases, usage log, saved muses, saved lookbooks). Database is hosted in Sydney.
- Stripe — payment processing for credit-pack checkout. We send Stripe the pack id, price, and your email. Stripe holds card details under their own privacy policy. We never see or store your card number.
- Resend — transactional email delivery (magic link, welcome, receipt, low-credit notice). Resend processes your email address and message body to ship the email.
- Image-generation provider — receives your prompt + reference images for the duration of one generation request. Output images may persist briefly in the provider’s short-term CDN (typically up to 24 hours) but are not catalogued or shared by us.
- Text-generation provider — receives short prompts to enhance your brief, describe a reference, suggest costume notes, etc. Receives only the text snippets we send; no email or account id is forwarded.
We may rotate the underlying generation providers as model quality improves; if you need the current list for compliance reasons,email usand we’ll share it.
Generated lookbooks
Consent for reference photos
By uploading a photo of a person, you confirm that the person is:
- You, OR
- A fictional character, OR
- A real person who has given you explicit permission for their likeness to be used in AI generation.
Uploading someone’s likeness without their consent is a violation of these terms and may also be a violation of local law. We reserve the right to revoke beta access at any time for misuse.
Your rights
You can:
- Sign out at any time — clears your session cookie.
- Delete a saved muse from the studio — removes the row from our database and the associated images from Blob storage.
- Delete a saved lookbook from your account — removes the row and its images from Blob storage. Lookbooks also auto-delete on the retention schedule above (paid 90 days, trial 7 days).
- Request full account deletion by emailing nendodigital@proton.me. We’ll wipe your user row, purchase history, usage log, saved muses, and saved lookbooks within 7 days. Stripe-side payment records are retained for tax/accounting purposes under Stripe’s policy.
- Request an export of the data we hold on you (same email). We’ll send a JSON dump within 7 days.
