Privacy Policy

Who we are

Marvin’s Closet is a sneaker release calendar, deals, and community site. Marvin’s Market is the estimate board on that site. We do not sell shoes and we do not keep shoes in stock. When a page links to a retailer or a resale search, that other site handles the sale, the price, and whether the pair is available.

Information we collect

• Your email address and the other details you give us when you create an account.
• Membership and subscription status for Lace Up, Heat Check, and Grail, and payment information that Stripe processes when you pay for a plan.
• If you choose Continue with Google, the name, email address, and profile picture Google shares with us for that sign-in.
• Usage information: pages you visit, device and browser details, votes you cast on Marvin’s Market, and the questions you send to the Shoe desk.
• Your email address if you subscribe to the newsletter.

How we use it

• To create and run your account.
• To open Heat Check or Grail features while that plan is active or trialing.
• To send the newsletter, if you subscribed.
• To answer Shoe desk questions. Those questions are sent to an AI provider, Google Gemini, so it can write the reply.
• To keep the site working, fix problems, and protect it from abuse.

Payments

Paid plans are billed by Stripe. We do not store your card number on our servers. Stripe’s own policy describes how they handle payment data: Stripe’s privacy policy.

Google sign-in

Google sign-in is optional. If you use it, we receive the basic profile and email Google provides for that login, as described in Google’s privacy policy. We request only that basic profile and email. We do not use Google user data for ads. Marvin’s Closet’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Who we share it with

We use service providers to run the site: Supabase for hosting, the database, and sign-in; Stripe for payments; and Google for optional Google sign-in and for Shoe desk replies. They process data only so we can provide those services. We do not sell personal data.

Cookies and local storage

We store a sign-in session in cookies or local storage in your browser so you can stay logged in. That storage is for the session, not for advertising.

How long we keep it

We keep account information while the account is active. If you ask us to delete it, we delete it within 30 days, except records we have to keep for legal or tax reasons. Stripe billing records are in that exception.

Your choices

• Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct information that is wrong.
• Ask us to delete your account and the personal information tied to it.
• Cancel a Heat Check or Grail membership from your account.
• Unsubscribe from the newsletter with the link in a newsletter email.

Email erikjohnson9912@gmail.com to make an access, correction, or deletion request. Tell us the email address on the account so we can find it.

Children

Marvin’s Closet is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards, including access controls on the database and sign-in handled by our providers. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date. Continued use of the site after that date means the new version applies.
