  • AI-generated: metadata about your clothing items and style profile created by our AI processing systems

How We Use Your Personal Data

We process your personal data for the following purposes and relying on the following lawful bases:

  • To provide the Service (contractual necessity): cataloguing your wardrobe, generating outfit suggestions, operating the chat stylist, and maintaining your account
  • To improve the Service (legitimate interest): understanding how users interact with dressed. to improve features and fix issues
  • To communicate with you (legitimate interest): responding to enquiries, sending service updates, and providing support
  • To comply with legal obligations: where we are required by law to process or retain your data

AI Processing

dressed. uses artificial intelligence to provide core features of the Service:

  • Clothing analysis: when you upload a photo, our AI analyses the image to identify and categorise clothing items, detecting attributes such as colour, type, season appropriateness, and style tags
  • Style suggestions: the AI stylist uses your wardrobe data, style profile, and chat history to generate personalised outfit recommendations
  • Chat stylist: your conversations with the AI stylist are processed to provide contextual, personalised styling advice

AI processing is carried out by our sub-processor (see below). Your photos and data sent to AI services are processed via their API and are not used to train their models. We do not sell your data or use it for any purpose other than providing and improving the dressed. Service.

Although our systems and services are primarily located in the European Union and the United Kingdom, there may be occasions where your personal data will be processed outside the UK/EU.

dressed. ensures that appropriate measures are implemented to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal data if it is transferred outside the UK/EU. These measures include entering into Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

Any third parties that process your personal data will only do so on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure.
