Privacy Policy.

Last updated: June 1, 2026 · Applies to autumlove.com and Ask Autum

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Autum Love ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit autumlove.com, use Ask Autum (our AI personal styling assistant), or subscribe to Ask Autum Pro.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We do not sell your personal data. We do not display advertising. We collect only what we need to provide you with a great experience.

Short version: We collect your email for membership and communication. Your style profile and closet data are stored locally on your device. Your AI conversations are processed by Chatbase. Payments are handled by Squarespace. We keep it simple.

2. Information We Collect

  • Email address — when you subscribe to our newsletter or join Ask Autum Pro
  • Name — if you provide it in your style profile or account
  • Payment information — collected and processed by Squarespace (we never see or store your card details)
  • Style profile — body type, color season, budget, lifestyle, style preferences (stored locally on your device)
  • Closet photos — images you upload to My Closet (stored locally on your device, never sent to our servers)
  • Profile photo — if you add one to your style profile (stored locally on your device)

Information collected automatically

  • Usage data — pages visited, time on site, via Squarespace analytics
  • Device information — browser type, operating system, screen size (standard web analytics)

Information we do NOT collect

  • We do not collect Social Security numbers, government IDs, or financial account numbers
  • We do not track you across other websites
  • We do not sell your data to advertisers or data brokers

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and improve the Ask Autum service
  • To process your membership and send receipts
  • To send styling tips, outfit guides, and updates you've subscribed to
  • To show you weather-appropriate outfit suggestions (location is used in real-time only, never stored)
  • To respond to your questions or support requests
  • To improve the quality and relevance of AI styling recommendations

We will never use your information to send spam, sell to third parties, or display targeted advertising.

4. Where Your Data Is Stored

Locally on your device (browser storage)

Your style profile (body type, color season, budget, style preferences), closet items and photos, color analysis results, and daily streak data are all stored in your browser's localStorage — on your device only. This data does not leave your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

This means: if you clear your browser data or switch devices, this information will not transfer automatically. We recommend noting your style profile details so you can easily re-enter them.

Squarespace servers

Your email address, membership status, and account information are stored securely by Squarespace as part of their Member Areas platform. Squarespace is SOC 2 compliant and encrypts data in transit and at rest.

Email (MailerLite)

If you subscribe to our email list, your email address and any preferences you share are stored in MailerLite, our email marketing platform. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following trusted third-party services to operate this site and Ask Autum:

  • Squarespace — website hosting, member accounts, and payment processing. Squarespace Privacy Policy →
  • Chatbase — powers the Ask Autum AI chat. Conversations may be processed and stored by Chatbase to improve AI responses. Chatbase Privacy Policy →
  • MailerLite — email newsletter delivery. MailerLite Privacy Policy →
  • Open-Meteo — anonymous weather API used to show local weather conditions. No personal data is sent. Open-Meteo Terms →
  • Google Fonts — fonts loaded for site design. Google may collect limited data per their standard policy.

We do not share your personal information with any other third parties without your explicit consent.

6. Ask Autum & AI Conversations

Ask Autum is powered by Chatbase, which uses large language model (AI) technology to provide styling advice.

  • Conversations you have with Ask Autum are processed by Chatbase's servers
  • Your style profile is included in conversations as context — this helps Ask Autum give you personalized advice
  • Photos you paste into the chat (such as closet items for styling) are sent to the AI for processing
  • We recommend not sharing sensitive personal information (financial details, passwords, etc.) in chat conversations
  • Ask Autum is an AI assistant, not a human stylist. Always use your own judgment when making purchases
Ask Autum's responses are for informational and styling purposes only. They do not constitute professional fashion, medical, financial, or legal advice.

7. Membership & Payments

Ask Autum Pro memberships are processed through Squarespace Member Areas. When you subscribe:

  • Payment is processed securely by Squarespace using Stripe
  • We never see, store, or have access to your credit card details
  • Your billing information is governed by Squarespace's and Stripe's privacy policies
