SomethingAdded operates under strict adherence to international data protection standards, particularly GDPR regulations for European users. When you engage with our platform, whether as a brand partner exploring manufacturing solutions or as an individual interested in our technology, we collect only what we need and protect it like it matters. Your information isn't a commodity. It's a responsibility we take seriously.

Our services span computational design consultation, manufacturing partnerships and technology licensing. Each engagement comes with clear terms defining scope, deliverables, and intellectual property rights. We believe in transparency from the first conversation. If you're a brand partner, your proprietary designs remain yours. Our role is execution and innovation, not ownership. We've built our reputation on respecting boundaries and delivering results within them.

Data we collect includes contact information, project specifications, and usage analytics. We use this to improve our services and communicate with you about work in progress. We never sell your data. We never share it without explicit consent. Our servers are secured with industry-standard encryption, and access is restricted to personnel who need it for legitimate business purposes. GDPR gives you rights—to access, correct, delete and port your data — and we honor every one.

Cookies on our site serve specific functions: authentication, preference storage and performance tracking. You can disable them, though some features may not work as intended. We use analytics to understand how people interact with our technology showcase, not to build profiles for advertising. Our cookie policy aligns with GDPR requirements, and we provide clear consent mechanisms before any non-essential tracking begins.

Disputes are handled through good faith negotiation first. If that fails, applicable law governs resolution. For European users, GDPR compliance is non-negotiable. For others, we apply the same standards because they're the right ones. SomethingAdded exists to push the footwear industry forward. That only works if we're trustworthy.
