Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. Here's how we handle your data.

What Data We Collect

Data Stored Locally (On Your Device)

When you use curls.guide, some data is stored locally in your browser:

  • Hair profile quiz results - Your curl type, porosity, and goals
  • Saved products - Your "My Shelf" products and notes
  • Saved routines - Routines you've created
  • Theme preference - Light/dark mode setting

This data never leaves your device and is not sent to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings or by using the "Reset All" option in settings.

We do not track individual users, and we do not use cookies for tracking purposes.

Third-Party Services

When you click on affiliate links, you'll be taken to third-party websites (like Amazon, Boots, or LookFantastic). These sites have their own privacy policies and may collect data about you.

How We Use Your Data
