Skins

Privacy policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

The privacy of your data—and it is your data, not ours!—is a big deal to us. In this policy, we lay out: what data we collect and why; how your data is handled; and your rights with respect to your data. We promise we never sell your data: never have, never will.

This policy is split into sections. For your convenience, links to each of those sections is as follows:

This policy applies to Skins, built and maintained by BRYO GmbH, Obentrautstraße 53 G, 10963 Berlin, Germany (Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 249995): the Skins browser extension, the Skins service at skins.dev, and this website (together, “Skins”). BRYO GmbH is the controller for the data described here.

This policy applies to our handling of information about site visitors, prospective customers, and customers and authorized users. We refer collectively to these categories of individuals as “you” throughout this policy.

What we collect and why

Our guiding principle is to collect only what we need. Here’s what that means in practice:

Identity and access

When you sign up for Skins, we ask for identifying information such as your name and email address. That’s so you can sign in, personalize your account, and so we can send you essential information about the service.

We’ll never sell your personal information to third parties, and we won’t use your name or company in marketing statements without your permission either.

Product interactions

We store on our servers the content that you create or keep in your Skins projects: the recordings you choose to keep, what you ask bryo (our AI) to do, and the skins it builds. This is so you can use Skins as intended. To do the work you ask for, bryo reads a project’s recordings and chats; it runs on Google’s Gemini models in the EU. If you add your own model in the app’s settings, your chats go to that model’s provider instead. We keep this content as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we’ll delete the content within 60 days.

Recordings

When you press Record in the Skins extension, it records the tab you chose until you press Stop, and nothing else: how the page looked and changed (its content, text, layout, images, fonts and styles, but not its scripts), what you did (clicks, scrolling and typing, except in password fields), and the page’s network requests and responses. Cookie, authorization and CSRF-token headers are replaced with [redacted], and credentials are removed from addresses. A recording can contain whatever that page showed you. It stays in your browser until you press Keep; only then is it saved to the project you chose.

General Geolocation data

We log the IP address of requests to our servers for security and fraud prevention purposes, and we keep these logs only for a short time.

Website interactions

We collect information about your browsing activity on this website for analytics and statistical purposes. This includes, for example, your browser and operating system versions, which web pages you visited, and which website referred you to us. The web analytics we use are described further in the Analytics and Cookies section.

Analytics and Cookies

We use PostHog, hosted in the EU, to see how this website is used. Until you make a choice, visits are counted without cookies or anything stored on your device. Only if you click Allow do we set cookies, record your interactions and replay sessions (with what you type masked). You can change your choice at any time under Cookie settings in the footer. The Skins extension sends no analytics.

A cookie is a piece of text stored by your browser. It may help remember login information and site preferences. It might also collect information such as your browser type, operating system, web pages visited, duration of visit, content viewed, and other click-stream data. You can adjust cookie retention settings and accept or block individual cookies in your browser settings, although the Skins app won’t work if you turn cookies off, because sign-in relies on them.

Voluntary correspondence

When you email us with a question or to ask for help, we keep that correspondence, including your email address, so that we have a history of past correspondence to reference if you reach out in the future.

How we approach browser extension permissions

The Skins extension asks for the browser permissions it needs to work, and uses them only for that:

  • It keeps on your device your sign-in tokens, a copy of your skins (so they apply as soon as a page loads), your settings, and a recording in progress until you keep or discard it.
  • It applies your skins only on the sites they target. A skin’s JavaScript runs through the browser’s user scripts feature, which you turn on yourself.
  • It uses the browser’s debugger interface only on the tab you record, and only between Record and Stop, to capture that page’s network requests. Chrome shows its debugging bar while it does.
  • Its side panel shows screens served from skins.dev, and reads the current tab’s address to list the skins for that page.

When we access or disclose your information

To provide products or services you’ve requested. We use some third-party subprocessors to help run Skins and provide the services to you:

  • Google Cloud (Google Ireland Limited): hosting, in Germany, and the Gemini models through Vertex AI, in the EU.
  • PostHog (PostHog, Inc., EU hosting): website analytics, as described above.

When you share a project with other people, they can see it.

No BRYO human looks at your content except for limited purposes with your express permission, for example, if an error occurs that stops an automated process from working and requires manual intervention to fix. These are rare cases, and when they happen, we look for root cause solutions as much as possible to avoid them recurring. We may also access your data if required in order to respond to legal process (see “When required under applicable law” below).

To help you troubleshoot or squash a software bug, with your permission. If at any point we need to access your content to help you with a support case, we will ask for your consent before proceeding.

Aggregated and de-identified data. We may aggregate and/or de-identify information collected through the services. We may use de-identified or aggregated data for any purpose, including marketing or analytics.

When required under applicable law. BRYO GmbH is a German company and our data infrastructure is located in the EU. Our policy is to not respond to government requests for user data unless we are compelled by legal process or in limited circumstances in the event of an emergency request. It is our policy to notify affected users before we disclose data unless we are legally prohibited from doing so, and except in some emergency cases.

Finally, if BRYO GmbH is acquired by or merges with another company — we don’t plan on that, but if it happens — we’ll notify you well before any of your personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Your rights with respect to your information

We strive to apply the same data rights to all customers, regardless of their location. Some of these rights include:

  • Right to Know. You have the right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared or sold. We outline both the categories and specific bits of data we collect, as well as how they are used, in this privacy policy.
  • Right of Access. This includes your right to access the personal information we gather about you, and your right to obtain information about the sharing, storage, security and processing of that information.
  • Right to Correction. You have the right to request correction of your personal information.
  • Right to Erasure / “To Be Forgotten”. This is your right to request, subject to certain limitations under applicable law, that your personal information be erased from our possession and, by extension, from all of our service providers. Fulfillment of some data deletion requests may prevent you from using Skins because our applications may then no longer work. In such cases, a data deletion request may result in closing your account.
  • Right to Complain. You have the right to make a complaint regarding our handling of your personal information with the appropriate supervisory authority.
  • Right to Restrict Processing. This is your right to request restriction of how and why your personal information is used or processed, including opting out of sale of your personal information. (Again: we never have and never will sell your personal data.)
  • Right to Object. You have the right, in certain situations, to object to how or why your personal information is processed.
  • Right to Portability. You have the right to receive the personal information we have about you and the right to transmit it to another party.
  • Right to not Be Subject to Automated Decision-Making. You have the right to object to and prevent any decision that could have a legal or similarly significant effect on you from being made solely based on automated processes. This right is limited if the decision is necessary for performance of any contract between you and us, is allowed by applicable law, or is based on your explicit consent.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination. We do not and will not charge you a different amount to use our products, offer you different discounts, or give you a lower level of customer service because you have exercised your data privacy rights. However, the exercise of certain rights may, by virtue of your exercising those rights, prevent you from using our Services.

Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need to retain certain information in order to provide our services to you.

In some cases, we also need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, verifying your name and email address. If we are unable to verify you, we may be unable to respond to your requests. If you have questions about exercising these rights or need assistance, please contact us at privacy@bryo.ai or at BRYO GmbH, Obentrautstraße 53 G, 10963 Berlin, Germany. If an authorized agent is corresponding on your behalf, we will need written consent with a signature from the account holder before proceeding.

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to appeal our decision to deny your request, if applicable. We will provide information about how to exercise that right in our response denying the request. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Ours is the Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit; you can also contact the data protection authority where you live.

How we secure your data

All data is encrypted via SSL/TLS when transmitted from our servers to your browser. Sign-in to the Skins extension uses OAuth with PKCE, and the extension keeps its tokens only in your browser’s extension storage.

What happens when you delete content in your account

When you delete a project, its content, including its recordings and skins, becomes immediately inaccessible. If you ask us to delete your account, your content will become immediately inaccessible and should be purged from our systems in full within 60 days.

A recording you don’t keep never leaves your browser, and is gone when you discard it. What the extension keeps on your device is removed when you sign out or remove the extension.

Data retention

We keep your information for the time necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and your choices, after which time we may delete and/or aggregate it. We may also retain and use this information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Through this policy, we have provided specific retention periods for certain types of information.

Location of site and data

Skins is operated from Germany, and your data is stored in the EU: our servers are in Germany, and the Gemini models we use run in the EU.

When transferring personal data out of the EU

Some of our service providers, or their parent companies, are located outside the EU. Where personal data may be transferred to them, the transfer relies on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, so your data keeps the same level of protection that it has under EU privacy law.

Changes and questions

We may update this policy as needed to comply with relevant regulations and reflect any new practices. Whenever we make a significant change to our policies, we will refresh the date at the top of this page and take any other appropriate steps to notify users.

Have any questions, comments, or concerns about this privacy policy, your data, or your rights with respect to your information? Please get in touch by emailing us at privacy@bryo.ai and we’ll be happy to try to answer them!
