2. SCOPE OF THIS POLICY

This policy covers data accessed through GENA's connection to the Pinterest API. It does not

replace a full product privacy policy covering every feature of the GENA platform; it is scoped

to the Pinterest integration specifically, for the purpose of Pinterest's Developer app review.

3. WHAT DATA WE ACCESS VIA PINTEREST

- We only access data belonging to the Pinterest business account that our organization has

  explicitly connected via OAuth 2.0 (Pinterest API Trial / Standard access).

- We do not access, scrape, or store data belonging to any other Pinterest user, account, or

  board that has not been explicitly connected by our organization.

- Data accessed may include: boards, pins, and trend/interest data associated with the

  connected account, used solely to inform internal fashion trend analysis.

- We do not collect personal data about individual Pinterest users, followers, or the public.

4. HOW WE USE THIS DATA

- Solely for internal fashion trend analysis, to support AI-generated capsule collection

  recommendations within the GENA platform (e.g. identifying rising styles, colors, and

  categories relevant to our organization's design work).

- Not used for advertising, individual profiling, or any purpose unrelated to trend analysis.

- Not sold, licensed, or redistributed to third parties.

- Not combined with personal data from other sources to build profiles of individuals.

5. STORAGE AND RETENTION

- Data is stored on AWS infrastructure in the eu-central-1 (Frankfurt, EU) region.

- Data is retained only as long as needed to support trend-analysis functionality, or until

  the connected Pinterest account is disconnected, whichever comes first.

- Data is deleted upon disconnection of the Pinterest account, or upon a verified deletion

  request (see Section 7).

6. LEGAL BASIS (GDPR)

Processing is carried out in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation

(Regulation (EU) 2016/679). 

7. YOUR RIGHTS

Where applicable, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port your data,
