Privacy Policy

Last updated 19 September 2026

NOLUGGS is a research prototype built for a doctoral (DBA) study at the International School of Management, Paris. It is not a commercial service, it does not sell or ship clothing, and it takes no real payment. This document is provided for transparency during the study and is not legal advice.

This policy explains what personal data the NOLUGGS research prototype collects, why, and your rights over it. Because NOLUGGS is used in a doctoral study with participants in the UK and the US, we follow the UK GDPR and EU GDPR as our baseline.

Who is responsible

The study is run by Mathias Nana, a DBA candidate at the International School of Management, Paris, under academic supervision. Questions and data requests go to info@noluggs.com.

What we collect

Account details: your name, email, country, city and date of birth.

Fit and style details you enter: gender, standard size, body measurements, foot length and style preference.

Trip details: origin and destination, dates, travel class, chosen activities, delivery choice and any hotel or address you enter, and your outfit selections and returns.

Generated content: the outfit descriptions and images the app creates for your trip.

Usage analytics: in-app events (screens viewed, tasks started and completed, features used) recorded with a session identifier and, when you take part through Prolific, your Prolific participant id. We do not collect payment details, because no real payment is taken.

Sharing on the community feed

Sharing a trip on the community feed is optional and off unless you turn it on, for one trip from your booking confirmation or for all trips in your profile. Your card shows your current first name and last initial, the month you joined, the number of trips you shared, the outfits booked on them, your latest shared trip (route and month) and the carbon saved on those trips. You can unshare any trip at any time. The community totals count all trips anonymously, and your position among savers on the carbon page is visible only to you.

Reviews you post

After a returned trip you can post a review: a rating, optional text, the name you choose to show and an optional photo. Reviews are checked before they appear and are shown publicly with that name and the destination city. You can ask us to remove your review at any time at info@noluggs.com. Quotes shown under "From NOLUGGS research sessions" come from anonymized academic research sessions and identify no one.

How we use it

To create your personalised outfits, run the trip and return flow, and to analyse how people use the prototype for the research study. Analytics are used in aggregate to evaluate the design; they are not used to advertise to you.

Legal basis

For study participation and analytics we rely on your consent, given when you join the study. For running the core app features you ask for, we rely on performance of the task you requested. You can withdraw consent at any time (see Your rights).

Who processes your data

We use a small set of service providers strictly to run the prototype: Supabase (database, authentication and image storage), Lovable Cloud and its AI gateway (to generate outfit text and images), and Open-Meteo (weather by destination, no personal data sent). If you have consented to marketing analytics, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta may also process usage data; the research telemetry above does not depend on these.

Cookies and local storage

The app uses first-party browser storage to keep you signed in and to hold your trip in progress. See the Cookie Policy for details.

Retention

Study data is kept for the duration of the research and its academic review, then deleted or anonymised. You can ask us to delete your data sooner.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct, export or delete your data, and to withdraw from the study, by emailing info@noluggs.com. Withdrawing will not affect you in any way.

International transfers

Some providers process data outside your country. Where that happens we rely on the providers' standard safeguards for international transfers.

Age

NOLUGGS is for adults. You must be 18 or older to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
