Last updated: August 28, 2026
Instarug turns your ideas into custom hand-tufted rugs. To do that we collect a small amount of information, described here in plain language.
Information we collect
- Account information: your name and email address, provided when you create an account (including via Google sign-in).
- Design content: the rug descriptions you write, the designs and revisions generated for you, reference photos you upload, and your conversations with the design assistant.
- Order information: shipping details and order history when you purchase a sample or rug. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.
- Usage information: basic technical data such as browser type and pages visited, used to keep the service running and secure.
How we use it
- To create your rug designs — your descriptions and reference photos are processed by our AI image-generation provider (Google) solely to produce your designs.
- To fulfill orders, provide customer support, and send transactional emails such as order confirmations.
- To operate, secure, and improve the service.
- We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your designs or photos to train AI models.
Service providers
- We rely on a small set of providers to run Instarug: Clerk (sign-in), Google (AI image generation), Supabase (data and image storage), Stripe (payments), and our hosting provider. Each receives only the information needed to perform its role.
Your choices
- You can access your designs and order history from your account at any time.
- To delete your account and associated data, or to ask any privacy question, contact us at the email below and we will respond promptly.
Data retention & security
- We keep your account, designs, and order records while your account is active, and as required for legal or accounting purposes after that.
- Data is stored with reputable cloud providers, encrypted in transit, with access limited to what operating the service requires.
Changes to this policy
- If we make material changes to this policy, we will update this page and revise the date below.
