Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 3, 2026 · Last updated: November 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to Closetimo (the “App”), provided by smulsmul (Representative: Beomjun Kang; the “Service Provider”).

1. Information We Store

The App does not offer accounts or registration and does not collect or transmit directly identifying information such as your name, email address, or phone number to the Service Provider.

The following information is stored only on your device to provide the App’s features:

  • Clothing names, brands, types and subtypes, colors, seasons, materials, patterns, purposes, tags you create, care methods, wash cycles, purchase dates, and wear and wash history with notes
  • When and why you archived an item
  • Laundry-basket data, notification preferences, the last-used screen, and other app preferences
  • Photos of clothing that you choose or take in the App, and copies of those photos with the background removed

The Service Provider does not transmit or retain this information on a separate server.

2. Photo Access

When you add a clothing photo, the App may request access to your camera or photo library. Selected or captured photos are kept in the App’s local storage on your device and are not sent to the Service Provider. You can revoke permissions at any time in your device settings.

3. Photo Analysis

When you choose a clothing photo, the App removes its background and suggests values such as type, color, and material. All photo analysis happens on your device; your photos and wardrobe data are not sent to the Service Provider or to any other server. You can turn off background removal and on-device AI analysis in Settings (설정) > Photo Analysis (사진 분석).

  • iOS: The App uses Apple’s Vision and Foundation Models (Apple Intelligence) on your device only and does not transmit any additional information.
  • Android: The App uses Google ML Kit from Google Play services. Analysis models are downloaded through Google Play services, and on supported devices, turning on Detailed analysis with on-device AI (기기 내 AI로 자세히 분석) uses the Gemini Nano model on your device. Photos are not sent off your device in this case either.

However, ML Kit on Android may send the following information to Google to improve and diagnose its features:

  • Device information (manufacturer, model, OS version, available hardware accelerators)
  • App information (package name, app version)
  • Feature usage information (feature type and version, configuration, processing latency, input and output sizes, error codes, and configured languages when on-device AI is used)
  • Device and per-installation identifiers (values that distinguish installations, including user or device identifiers defined by Google when on-device AI is used)

This information does not include your photos or wardrobe data. It is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and handled under Google’s ML Kit data disclosure and privacy policy.

4. Backup and Restore

The App runs a backup or restore only when you start it from the settings screen. It does not perform automatic backups or background uploads.

  • Backup: The App packages your items, photos, wear and wash history, and settings into a single file and opens your device’s share sheet. You choose where to save or send the file (Files, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, email, etc.); the service you choose is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.
  • Restore: The App reads a backup file you pick with your device’s document picker and replaces your current wardrobe with its contents.
  • The App does not connect to cloud services directly and does not request broad access to your storage or photo library. The Service Provider does not receive or retain backup files.
  • A backup file contains your clothing photos and history as they are, so you are responsible for managing wherever you save or share it.

5. Notifications

Notification settings in the App (such as laundry reminders) are preferences stored only on your device. The App does not send your information to a server to generate notifications.

6. Third-Party Services

The App does not use third-party SDKs for advertising, behavioral analytics, or crash analytics. The only third-party SDK it uses is Google ML Kit for photo analysis on Android; the information this SDK sends is described in Section 3. Its core features work without a network connection, and the App does not sync your wardrobe data with external servers.

7. Retention and Deletion

Wardrobe data and photos remain on your device. Deleting an item in the App also removes its photo and its wear and wash history, and deleting the App may remove locally stored information. Backup files you create are stored outside the App, so they are not removed by the App and you must delete them yourself. To guard against data loss from changing devices, loss, device failure, or deleting the App, use the backup feature or keep separate copies of important information.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14.

9. Changes and Contact

This policy may be updated to reflect changes to the App or applicable law. Updates will be posted on this page.
