This Privacy Policy explains how Evan Technologies ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores and shares information when you use the Closet. mobile app (package name com.evantechnologies.digitalcloset) (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Summary
- Your wardrobe data (items, photos, outfits, plans, wear history) is stored on your device by default.
- It is uploaded to the cloud only if you turn on Cloud Backup.
- We use your approximate location only to show the local temperature, and we don't store it.
- We do not sell your personal data, do not show ads and do not use third-party analytics or advertising tracking.
- You can delete your data and request deletion of your account at any time.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you provide
| Data | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Name and email address | Create and manage your account, sign in, account emails (such as verification and password reset) | Yes |
| Password | Sign in with email. Handled by Google Firebase Authentication; we never see or store your password in plain text | Yes, for email sign-in |
| Google account details (name, email, profile ID) | Sign in with Google, if you choose it | Optional |
| Gender and age range | Personalise the App experience | Optional |
| Preferred currency | Show item prices and wardrobe value | Optional |
| Wardrobe content: clothing photos, item names, categories, colours, sizes, brands, materials, prices, purchase dates, notes, tags, storage locations, outfits, outfit plans, packing lists (including trip destinations you type), wear history and laundry history | Provide the App's core features | Only what you choose to add |
| Feedback messages | Respond to your questions and improve the App | Optional |
2.2 Information collected automatically
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Approximate location (low accuracy) | Show the current temperature on your home screen. Only collected if you grant location permission. Not stored by us or linked to your account |
| Device platform (for example "Android") | Recorded in your account profile for support and compatibility |
| Notification and backup settings | Deliver reminders and run backups at the time you choose |
| Account timestamps (created, email verified, last backup) | Account management and backup status |
2.3 Device permissions
- Camera and photos: to take or choose pictures of your clothing. Only images you select are used.
- Location (approximate): for local weather. The App works fully without it.
- Notifications: for outfit-plan and laundry reminders, and to show backup progress.
- Foreground service, wake lock and network: so Cloud Backup and restore can keep running while your screen is locked.
- Exact alarms: so reminders arrive at the time you set.
You can withdraw any permission at any time in your device settings.
3. How we use your information
We use your information only to:
- create and secure your account and sign you in
- store, display and organise your wardrobe, outfits and plans
- back up and restore your data when you enable Cloud Backup
- send reminders you have turned on
- show local weather
- remove photo backgrounds when you use that feature
- respond to feedback and support requests
- keep the App working reliably, prevent abuse and meet legal obligations
We do not use your data for advertising and do not sell, rent or trade it.
4. Where your data is stored
- On your device: wardrobe data and photos are stored in the App's private storage on your phone. Sign-in session details are kept in encrypted secure storage.
- In the cloud (only if you enable Cloud Backup): a copy of your wardrobe data is stored in Google Firebase Cloud Firestore, and your photos in Google Firebase Cloud Storage, linked to your account. Security rules mean only you, when signed in, can access your backup.
- Account information: your name, email and profile preferences are stored with Google Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore.
Firebase may process data on servers outside your country. Google protects this data under its own security and privacy commitments.
The App disables Android's automatic device backup. So if you uninstall and reinstall the App, local data is not restored. Use Cloud Backup if you want to recover your wardrobe on a new phone.
5. How we share your information
We share data only with the service providers below, and only as needed to run the App:
| Party | What is shared | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Google LLC): Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage | Account details, profile preferences and, if Cloud Backup is on, your wardrobe data and photos | Sign-in, account storage, cloud backup and restore |
| Google Sign-In (Google LLC) | Your Google account name, email and ID | Only if you choose "Sign in with Google" |
| Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com) | Approximate latitude and longitude, with no name, email or account ID | Get the current temperature |
| Photoroom (Photoroom SAS), via our image-processing server | The single clothing photo you choose to process | Remove the photo background, only when you use that feature. Photos are processed and returned, not used for advertising |
| Your email provider | The feedback message you choose to send | Only when you tap Feedback, which opens your own email app |
We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, safety or property of our users or others. If our business is merged or sold, your information may transfer to the new owner under this same policy.
We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers or analytics companies.
6. Data retention
- Local data stays on your device until you delete it in the App, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App.
- Cloud Backup data stays until you delete it. You can delete it by choosing Start fresh when the App offers to restore a backup, or by asking us to delete your account.
- Account data is kept while your account is active and deleted within 30 days of an account deletion request, except where the law requires us to keep it longer.
- Location is used once to get the weather and is not kept.
7. Your choices and rights
You can:
- view and edit your profile and wardrobe data in the App
- delete individual items, photos, outfits and plans at any time
- turn Cloud Backup off in Profile → Cloud Backup
- turn off reminders in Profile → Notifications
- withdraw permissions (camera, photos, location, notifications) in your device settings
- request a copy, correction or deletion of your account and all associated data by emailing closet.support@evantechnologies.com from the email address on your account, with the subject "Account deletion request". We will confirm and complete deletion within 30 days.
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK, California privacy law in the US, or India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act), you may have further rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your data, to receive it in a portable format, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Contact us to exercise any of these rights.
8. Security
We protect your data with:
- encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS)
- Firebase Authentication
- access rules limiting cloud backups to the account owner
- encrypted storage of sign-in details on your device
No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so please use a strong password and keep your device locked.
9. Children's privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, notify you in the App or by email. Continuing to use the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
