About bodiluv

So what is bodiluv?

bodiluv is simply a service that allows you to be able to share your clothing and body sizes with your close friends and family. But you probably gathered that by now.

Once you have signed up you can list your basic vital measurements, whether it is your inside leg measurement or your coat size. You can list as much or as little as you want, it's up to you.

Security, data, sharing and your peace of mind

We understand that this information is extremely personal to you and we respect that wholly. By default, any information that you disclose about yourself will only be visible by you. You have to go in and change the security/visibility settings yourself. This might be awkward at first but your control over your information is important to us.

For each size there are 4 security settings;

Only you - visible only by you when you're logged in
Close friends - friends who you feel comfortable sharing personal information with (your partner, mother, sister etc.)
All friends - visible to your general friends and buddies
Whole world - visible to everyone on the internet (only use this security setting if you're absolutely comfortable with anyone and everyone having access to this)

To compliment this, you have control over each individual friend and what they can see. To do this you just have to assign them to a security category (see above). If you're connected to a friend who you are not too comfortable with knowing anything about you, you can set their security setting so that they can only see what 'The whole world' can see.

Why?

Why build the website? Apart from the obvious reasons for this tool being online to help people, save embarrassment and make people's lives easier the site has been a vision of the founder for some time.

One of the features on the site allows users to 'create an exception'. The purpose of this is because people buy different sizes in different shops. So, for instance, you might generally be a 'Top size' of Large, but when you buy clothing from 'ABC Clothing' you have to buy an X-large as their clothes tend to be smaller than average.

Our brand values

bodiluv have created a set of brand values that we will endeavour to adhere to through the growth of the service. Every feature and partnership will have to be carefully scrutinised by this to ensure that we are providing our users with the best service possible. We only have three values at the minute but we intend to add to these over time.

Be user-centred - we will allows be a user centred service. By that we mean that we will always be free (a side effect of which will mean that we will have to run advertising in some form or another throughout the site, but never to the detriment of the experience).

It also means that you will have full control over your information and how it is shared. The only privilege we grant ourselves will be to analyse the data we capture. This will be done anomalously, but it will help us provide you more accurate statistics when we get to that stage.

However, we believe that control over 'your' information is of paramount importance to us. So if you delete a piece of information from your account we can promise you that it will be deleted from our databases. If you delete your account we will delete all information from our servers. No record will exist. Too many companies online take too many privileges with your information and as users of such websites, naming no names, we're providing you a service that handles your data how we think it should be done, with respect to our users and customers.

If at any point, due to the release of further features, it means that the way your information is shared changes then we will be up front about it. You will have to agree up front to allow it.

Be clear - by this we mean that all information we tell you should be clear straight-forward and easy to understand. We will never hide important information from you and we'll try and say what we need to in as few words as possible. No need say anymore on this.

Be brutally honest - We will always be honest with you. We want to build a brand that you can trust and the only way we can do this is by being straight with you.

We are providing a free service and at some point we will have to create a revenue stream to keep the site afloat. When we do you will know how we are doing it.

We will try and give as much transparency as possible. Whatever it takes; blogs on our numbers, video blogs from our founders and creators, answering any concerns you may have... whatever it takes.

There are some things that we can't disclose with you obviously. Anything that gives our competitors an idea of where we are heading with this site will be kept quiet. We need to do this to build the value of the company.

Finally

We would like to say a huge thank you for using our service. Without our users we are nothing and we are grateful from the bottom of our hearts.
