Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Article 6)

For users in the EU/EEA, we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal data:

  • Performance of Contract (Article 6(1)(b)): Account management, subscription services, payment processing, campaign facilitation, and delivering the virtual try-on service you requested.
  • Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Biometric data processing (facial geometry, body proportions), non-essential cookies and tracking (analytics, browser fingerprinting). You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
  • Legitimate Interest (Article 6(1)(f)): Fraud prevention and abuse detection, platform security and infrastructure monitoring, and general service improvement based on aggregated, anonymized usage data.
  • Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): Retention of tax records and payment information as required by law, responding to valid legal requests, and regulatory compliance.

  • Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Secure password hashing (bcrypt)
  • Two-factor authentication for admin accounts
  • API rate limiting to prevent abuse
  • Regular security audits and monitoring

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies on our platform. When you first visit VirtualFit, you will be shown a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off. They include:

  • Authentication tokens (JWT) — Keeps you logged in during your session
  • Cookie consent preference — Remembers your cookie choice so we don't ask again
  • Session data — Maintains your active state while using the platform

Tracking / Non-Essential Cookies (Require Consent)

These cookies are only set if you click "Accept All" or enable them via "Customize" on the cookie banner:

  • PostHog Analytics (_ph_* cookies) — Used to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Collects anonymized page views, feature usage, and session replays. Data is aggregated and not linked to your personal identity.
  • Browser fingerprint (FingerprintJS) — Used to track free trial usage and prevent abuse. If you reject this, we fall back to IP-based tracking which is less accurate.

Managing Your Preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit. You can also configure your browser to block cookies, though this may impact essential functionality like logging in.

GDPR & ePrivacy Compliance: Non-essential cookies and tracking technologies are only activated after you provide explicit consent. If you reject non-essential cookies, the free trial feature will still work using IP-based tracking as a fallback.

CCPA Notice (California Residents): Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, you have the right to opt out of the "sale" of personal information. We do not sell your personal data. Browser fingerprints are used solely for free trial management and fraud prevention. You can opt out of non-essential tracking by selecting "Essential Only" on the cookie consent banner.

International Data Transfers

Our service providers (Google LLC, Cloudinary Ltd., Stripe Inc., Resend Inc., and FingerprintJS Inc.) are based in the United States. If you are located in the EU/EEA, your personal data will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

GDPR Safeguards: Transfers of EU/EEA personal data to these providers are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission under GDPR Article 46(2)(c), or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where applicable. These mechanisms ensure that your data receives an adequate level of protection regardless of where it is processed.
