Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 6, 2026

Someone & Others ("S&O," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website someoneandothers.com and related subdomains. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you visit our website, use our client portal, or interact with our services and integrations.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Information you provide directly — name, email address, company name, and project details submitted through our contact forms, questionnaires, or client portal.
Account information — if you create a client portal account, we store your email address and authentication credentials (managed securely via Supabase Auth).
Usage data — pages visited, time spent, browser type, device type, and referring URL. This is collected through standard server logs and analytics.
Cookies and local storage — we use minimal cookies for session management, theme preferences, and authentication. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
Third-party platform data — if you connect a third-party account (such as Pinterest) through our tools or integrations, we may access limited data from that platform's API in accordance with their terms. This data is used solely for the services you have engaged us to provide (e.g., brand research, moodboard curation, content publishing).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Provide, maintain, and improve our brand strategy services.
Communicate with you about your project, deliverables, and account.
Process payments and manage invoicing through our payment processor (Stripe).
Curate moodboards, conduct brand research, and perform competitive analysis as part of our service delivery.
Publish or schedule content to third-party platforms (e.g., Pinterest, Instagram) on your behalf, only when explicitly authorized by you.
Send transactional emails related to your account or project status.
Analyze aggregate usage patterns to improve our website and services.

3. Third-Party APIs and Platform Data

Our services may integrate with third-party platforms including Pinterest, Instagram, and others. When using these integrations:

We access only the data necessary to perform the services you have engaged us for.
Data obtained through third-party APIs (including Pinterest) is used solely for your project and is not resold, redistributed, or shared with unrelated third parties.
If you disconnect a third-party platform or end your engagement with us, we will delete or anonymize any platform-derived data within 30 days, unless retention is required for legal or contractual obligations.
We comply with the terms of service and developer policies of all third-party platforms we integrate with.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. Specifically:

Client project data — retained for the duration of our engagement and up to 2 years after project completion, unless you request earlier deletion.
Account information — retained for as long as your account is active. You may request account deletion at any time.
Third-party platform data — deleted or anonymized within 30 days of disconnection or project completion.
Usage and analytics data — retained in aggregate, anonymized form indefinitely for service improvement.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate our business. These services may process your data in accordance with their own privacy policies:

Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage.
Stripe — payment processing and invoicing.
Vercel — website hosting and deployment.
Google Workspace / Gmail — email communication.
Slack — internal team communication (your data is not shared in Slack channels unless required for project delivery).

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including:

Encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
Row-level security policies on our database to ensure clients can only access their own data.
Secure authentication with email verification and session management.
Regular review of access controls and security practices.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
