Michael Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 15, 2026. Last updated: October 30, 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains how T.A. Tech Inc. collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use Michael.

1. Information we collect

Depending on how you use Michael, we may collect:

Account information

Information you provide when creating or managing your Michael account, such as your name, email address, and account credentials.

Your conversations with Michael

Requests, questions, and other information you provide while interacting with Michael.

Shopping preferences

Information you choose to provide about your preferences, including brands, sizes, styles, colors, budgets, interests, and other shopping preferences.

Your setup answers

When you first meet Michael, he offers a short setup and asks how you shop: who you shop for, your sizes and sizing, favorite brands and stores, colors you love or avoid, what matters most to you, what you usually spend, and, depending on what you buy, your skin type and beauty preferences, jewelry, tech and home preferences. Every question is optional, and you can skip any of them or the whole setup. What you answer is saved to your account and listed in Michael's Memory, where you can delete any answer. Michael uses it to fill in details you don't mention when you shop (for example, your usual budget for shoes), to leave out colors you said you never wear, and to choose among products. Answers you give with less certainty (“I think”) wait in Michael's Learning Center until you confirm them, and answers you say are temporary (“this week”) are deleted after seven days. Small talk isn't saved, and the setup conversation itself isn't kept as a chat.

Food and dining preferences, including allergies

The setup also asks about food: any diet you follow, allergies or ingredients you always avoid, cuisines you love, how you feel about spice, how often and with whom you eat out, and what you usually spend per person. A diet or an allergy can be information about your health. These questions are optional; skip them if you prefer. Your answers are kept in your account until you delete them in Michael's Memory or delete your account. They are not shared with anyone and are not used until Michael helps with restaurants; they are never used for advertising.

Shopping activity

Information about products you view, products Michael selects, retailer connections, purchases attributed through Michael, and other shopping activity.

Family and friends information

If you use Michael to shop for someone else, you may provide information about that person's preferences, sizes, interests, relationship to you, important dates, or other information relevant to helping Michael shop for them.

Network and invitation information

Information necessary to operate your network, including invitation links, QR codes, referral attribution, network membership, and related activity.

Revenue sharing information

Information necessary to calculate and administer pending commissions, confirmed earnings, your Michael Earnings Balance, and use of those earnings.

Contacts

If you choose Sync Google contacts (offered once after you sign up, and on Invite & Earn) and allow access, Michael reads the contacts saved in that Google account and saves to your account the name, email addresses, and phone numbers of each contact that has an email address or phone number. We use them so you can invite people from your own phone or email, and to credit you under the Revenue Sharing Program when one of them joins Michael. Michael does not message your contacts. Syncing again replaces the list, and you can delete it at any time on Invite & Earn.

Instead of syncing, you can type friends' email addresses, after you sign up or on Invite & Earn. Michael saves those addresses to your account and uses them the same way: so you can invite them from your own email or phone, and to credit you when one of them joins. Michael does not email them, and you can delete them at any time on Invite & Earn.

Device and usage information

We may automatically collect technical information such as device type, browser, IP address, operating system, application activity, error logs, and similar information used to operate, secure, and improve Michael.

Support communications

We may retain information you provide when contacting Michael or T.A. Tech for assistance.

3. Personalization

Michael is designed to become more useful as it understands your preferences. Information you provide and your interactions with Michael may be used to personalize future searches and selections.

For example, if Michael knows your preferred brands, sizes, budget, or other preferences, it may consider that information when helping with future requests.

4. Shopping for other people

Michael may allow you to maintain separate shopping information for people you shop for. This information is intended to help Michael distinguish their preferences from yours. You should only provide information about another person that you are authorized or otherwise permitted to provide.

5. Google user data

Michael requests Google data only when you choose Continue with Google or Sync Google contacts.

What we access: with Continue with Google, your Google account name and email address, so we can create or open your Michael account. With Sync Google contacts, if you allow “See and download your contacts,” the names, email addresses, and phone numbers saved in that Google account. Michael reads them once and then ends its access; it keeps no ongoing access to your contacts.

How we use it: account details identify you. Contact details are shown only to you, so you can choose people to invite from your own phone or email, and are used to recognize when a contact joins Michael so your referral can be credited. Your profile records that your contacts came from Google, when you synced, and how many were saved.

How we store it: account details are stored with your Michael profile. Synced contacts are stored in your account until you delete them on Invite & Earn or delete your account; syncing again removes contacts no longer in your Google account. We do not use Google user data to train AI models, to advertise, or to sell data.

How we share it: we do not sell Google user data or share your contacts with other users or third parties, and Michael does not contact them. Service providers that host the application may process this data solely to operate Michael.

Michael's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Michael does not use Google APIs to generate text, images, or video. Michael prohibits using the service or any Google API to generate, facilitate, or distribute non-consensual intimate imagery or synthetic explicit content.

6. Affiliate tracking

Michael works with participating retailers and affiliate networks. When you visit or purchase from a participating retailer through Michael, information may be exchanged with the retailer or affiliate network so that the transaction can be attributed to Michael.

This information may also be necessary to determine whether a transaction generated an affiliate commission and whether an eligible network member earned revenue-sharing credit. Cookies, tracking identifiers, or similar technologies may be used for this purpose.

7. When we share information

We may share information when reasonably necessary with service providers that help us operate Michael, such as technology, hosting, AI, analytics, security, communications, and customer-support providers.

We may also share necessary information with retailers, affiliate networks, and other partners involved in shopping transactions and commission attribution.

We may disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect Michael, T.A. Tech, our users, or others from fraud, abuse, security threats, or unlawful activity.

T.A. Tech does not sell personal information for money.

8. AI and service providers

Shopping conversation is provided by OpenAI. Accounts and stored data are hosted with Supabase. Google is used for sign-in and optional contact sync only. Michael does not send prompts to a Google generative-AI model and does not generate images.

9. How long we keep information

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide Michael, maintain accounts, operate applicable programs, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce agreements. Different categories of information may be kept for different periods. Synced contacts are kept until you delete them or your account. Setup answers are kept until you delete them or your account, except answers you say are temporary, which are deleted after seven days.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for protecting your account credentials.

11. Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide rights concerning your personal information, which may include rights to:

Access certain information
Correct inaccurate information
Delete certain information
Obtain information about how information is used or shared
Exercise other privacy rights provided by applicable law

You can submit a privacy request to the email below. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

12. Account deletion

You may request deletion of your Michael account and associated personal information by emailing the address below. Some information may be retained when required by law or reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, security, financial recordkeeping, affiliate attribution, dispute resolution, or enforcement of agreements.

13. Children's privacy

Michael is not intended for children under 13. Account creation asks for an age of 13 or older.

14. Future Michael services

As Michael expands into additional areas such as restaurants, travel, hotels, parking, payments, or other services, additional information may be required to provide those features. We will update this policy before using personal information for materially different purposes.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Michael evolves. The Last updated date identifies the current version. Where required, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
