Your information, clearly explained
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how ASATWO PTY LTD (“ASATWO”, “we”, “us” or “our”) handles information when you use the Closetelle mobile application, website and related services (together, “Closetelle”).
Privacy contact: support@closetelle.com
1. Information we handle
Depending on the features you choose, we may handle:
- Account information, including your email address, name if supplied, authentication identifiers and sign-in method.
- Wardrobe content, including clothing photos, cut-outs, item names, colors, brands, materials, categories, style details, wear counts, outfits and saved looks.
- Optional Twin content, including a person photo you select, garment images, generated previews and descriptions of visible appearance needed to complete a requested preview.
- Stylist requests, including the text you enter and the wardrobe details needed to answer.
- Optional local-weather information, including an approximate foreground location sent directly to Apple Weather when you enable weather-aware Today recommendations. Closetelle does not store your coordinates or send them to our backend.
- Purchase, usage and referral history, including purchased product identifiers, Apple transaction identifiers and dates, subscription status, refunds or revocations, a pseudonymous app-account token, AI allowance reservations and counters, invite codes and referral qualification or reward status.
- Technical and security information, including authenticated user identifiers, request timestamps, error information and short-term usage counters used to protect the service and apply fair-use limits.
- Anonymous product analytics and diagnostics, including content-free events such as features or onboarding pages viewed, purchase-flow steps, success or failure categories, item or outfit counts, and native crash reports. Crash reports may include the crash type, stack trace, app version, operating-system version and device model. These events use a random app identifier and are not connected to your Closetelle account.
- Support correspondence and the information you choose to include when contacting us.
Closetelle does not collect precise location, contacts, health information, financial information, audio, advertising identifiers or data for cross-app tracking in the current version.
2. Camera and photo access
Closetelle asks for camera or photo-library access only when you choose a feature that needs it. On-device background removal does not send an image to us. You control which photos are selected, and you can change system permissions in iOS Settings.
3. Optional local weather
When you tap Use weather in Today, Closetelle asks iOS for approximate location access while the app is in use. The app sends that approximate location directly to Apple WeatherKit to obtain current conditions and uses the resulting forecast on device to rank suitable wardrobe combinations. Coordinates are not stored, linked to your Closetelle account or sent to our Convex backend. A forecast summary may remain on your device for up to six hours to reduce repeat requests. You can deny or revoke location access and continue using non-weather-aware recommendations.
4. On-device storage and cloud copy
Your local wardrobe is stored in an account-separated database on your device. Closetelle’s cloud-copy setting is enabled by default so wardrobe metadata, garment images, outfits and saved generated looks can be backed up to our Convex backend. You can turn off future cloud-copy uploads in Closetelle’s Privacy & AI settings. Turning it off does not itself delete content already uploaded; use Delete Account or contact us to request deletion.
The original Twin identity photo and derived identity anchor are kept in the app’s account-scoped device storage. They may be transmitted for real-time processing when you request a Twin feature, as described below.
5. Optional intelligent features
Features such as garment recognition, Stylist responses, image clean-up and Twin previews remain off until you grant in-app permission for Google Gemini processing. When you make a request, Closetelle sends only the information needed for that request through our authenticated backend to Google Gemini. Depending on the feature, this may include clothing photos, wardrobe descriptions, your message, a person photo, generated previews and descriptions of visible appearance.
You can withdraw this permission at any time in Closetelle. Withdrawing permission stops future requests; it does not undo processing already completed. Generated output can be inaccurate and should be treated as visual inspiration.
6. Anonymous product analytics
When Share product usage is on, Closetelle uses PostHog to understand whether people complete onboarding, which features are useful, where requests fail, whether purchase or referral flows work, and where the app crashes. Handled failures may include a stable error code and feature source, HTTP status, retryability, a broad retry-time range, and whether a security or quality guardrail blocked, throttled or discarded a request or output. These fields describe the operational outcome, not the content that caused it. Screen and element autocapture, exception variables and session replay are disabled. Native crash reports may include the crash type, stack trace, app version, operating-system version and device model. Analytics and diagnostic events do not contain photos, wardrobe contents, Stylist messages, Twin images, generated output, raw error messages or provider response bodies, email, account ID, exact location or URLs.
PostHog assigns a random app identifier so events from one installation can form a funnel or retention journey. Closetelle resets that identifier when accounts change on a device and does not connect it to your Closetelle account. You can stop future analytics at any time in Settings.
7. Why we use information
We use information to:
- authenticate users and keep accounts separated;
- operate, synchronise and secure wardrobe features;
- tailor optional Today recommendations to local weather without storing location coordinates;
- provide features you request, including optional Gemini-powered processing;
- verify purchases, maintain subscriptions and included usage, apply verified referral rewards, restore access and process refund or revocation updates;
- prevent abuse, enforce request limits and diagnose failures;
- measure anonymous feature adoption, reliability, retention and purchase-flow performance;
- respond to support, privacy and account requests; and
- meet legal obligations and protect users, ASATWO and the public.
We do not sell personal information and do not use Closetelle information for targeted advertising or cross-app tracking.
8. Service providers
We use carefully selected providers to operate Closetelle:
- Clerk provides authentication and account security.
- Convex provides the authenticated backend, database, file storage and request processing.
- Google Gemini processes optional intelligent-feature requests after you opt in.
- PostHog processes anonymous, content-free product-analytics events and native crash diagnostics when Share product usage is on.
- Apple provides WeatherKit forecasts when you enable local weather, processes App Store payments and supplies signed transaction and subscription-status information to us. We do not receive your full payment-card details.
- Apple and Google may also process information when you use their sign-in or distribution services.
These providers process information under their own terms and privacy commitments and may operate infrastructure outside Australia.
9. Retention and deletion
We keep account-linked Closetelle cloud content while your account remains active or as needed to provide the service. Short-term security and request-limit records are retained only as reasonably needed for those purposes. Anonymous product analytics may be retained for trend and product-improvement analysis and are not connected to the Closetelle account you delete. Support correspondence may be retained while an issue is open and afterwards where reasonably necessary for records, safety or legal obligations.
You can delete your account inside Closetelle under Settings → Account data → Delete Account. This deletes account-owned Convex records, purchase-ledger records and stored images, the Closetelle account held by Clerk, and the app’s local account data. Account deletion does not cancel an Apple subscription and does not delete purchase records Apple retains under its own terms; cancel the subscription separately in your Apple Account. Deletion from our active systems may be followed by limited residual retention in provider backups, security logs or records that must be kept by law, after which those copies expire under applicable provider schedules.
10. Security
Closetelle uses encrypted HTTPS transport, short-lived authenticated sessions, server-side ownership checks and account-separated local storage. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong device passcode and protect access to your sign-in account. Contact us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
11. International transfers
Our providers may process information in Australia, the United States and other locations where they operate. Privacy and data-protection rules in those places may differ from those in your country. We take reasonable steps to use providers and arrangements appropriate to the information and service.
12. Your choices and rights
You can review or change wardrobe content, disable future cloud-copy uploads, turn off Share product usage, deny or revoke approximate location access in iOS Settings, withdraw Gemini permission, remove Twin photos and delete your account from within the app. You may also contact us to request access, correction or deletion, or to raise a privacy concern. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
If you are in Australia and are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. Users elsewhere may have additional rights under local law.
13. Children
Closetelle is not directed to children under 13. You must be at least 13 to create an account, and you must have a parent or guardian’s permission where the law in your location requires a higher age for independent consent. If you believe a child has provided information contrary to this section, contact us so we can investigate and delete it.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as Closetelle changes. We will post the revised version here, update the effective date and provide additional notice in the app when a change materially affects how information is handled.
