Privacy policy

Effective October 19, 2026. Closet Cat is operated by Toli Zaslavskiy. This policy covers the Closet Cat app and website.

Information we use

We use your account identifier, email and sign-in information to maintain your account. We store the garment photos and descriptions you add, an optional person-reference photo, outfit requests, generated illustrations, saved looks and product bookmarks. Your device keeps sign-in credentials, unfinished drafts, original request references and privacy choices.

Photos are used to organize clothes and illustrate outfits. We do not build face-identification templates or use your photo to identify you. Server image preparation normalizes orientation and removes embedded image metadata. Do not upload another person’s image without permission.

AI and external services

When you use AI outfit features, the relevant request, garment images and descriptions, and selected person-reference photo are sent to OpenAI to select and illustrate a look. Manual wardrobe-photo saving does not itself request AI analysis. Importing a public product link sends a page request to that merchant; product images and descriptions may be used in a later AI request.

AI is optional. Review the disclosure before allowing new AI work. In compatible app versions, Privacy & AI controls save the choice for the account on that device. Revoking permission stops new submissions from that app; work already sent may finish. Browsing saved content does not start a new generation. AI output is approximate and does not guarantee fit or product availability.

Google Cloud hosts account data, private media and database records. Google and Apple process their respective sign-in flows. Expo delivers compatible native software updates and receives the installation/runtime information needed for delivery. We do not request the advertising identifier or use your photos for advertising.

OpenAI processes submitted content under its privacy policy and API data controls. We disable storage of Responses API results. This does not mean zero provider retention: safety/abuse monitoring and applicable provider obligations may still apply. We do not sell your personal information.

Resend delivers Closet Cat sign-in confirmation and password-recovery emails. It receives the recipient email address, message content and delivery information needed to send those emails.

Optional completion notifications

In compatible iOS and Android builds, you can allow notifications when starting a look or product import. We privately associate a device push token with that account and original request for up to one day. Expo and Apple or Google receive the token, a generic completion message and an opaque request identifier to deliver the notification; we do not include garment descriptions, photos, image URLs or retailer links. Tokens are removed from active delivery records after an attempted send, cancellation or expiry. Cloud recovery copies follow the retention policy below. Sign-out attempts to cancel pending subscriptions when connected; a message already sent may still arrive. You can disable notifications in device settings. Browsers keep in-app progress and do not receive these native pushes.

Product diagnostics

Compatible versions use PostHog in the United States for anonymous screen navigation and masked session replay to diagnose usability problems. Text, text inputs and images are masked; account identity, uploaded photos, private media links, network bodies and console logs are not intentionally collected. We do not identify your account to PostHog. Browser capture is restricted to the app entry and respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Replay is subject to the project’s capped free allowance and one-month retention. Native recording requires a compatible app build; this disclosure does not mean every installed version records.

Sharing and public collections

Private account content is not public by default. Content you deliberately publish through a public collection or share link can be viewed by others. Retailer bookmarks are separate from clothes you own. A connected Costume Network account is a separate service; legacy pieces already copied there remain CN data until removed there.

Retention and deletion

Account content remains while your account is active. Removing a Look or Bookmark from a list unlists it; original requests and images can remain for history and recovery until account deletion. Removing a wardrobe piece or changing your selected person photo stops its use in the current selection, but historical uploads and drawings may remain with earlier requests. Contact us to request erasure of particular stored content. Deleting your Closet Cat account removes its active CR-owned records and media. Signed private-media links expire; device caches and copies saved by other people cannot be remotely recalled.

Deleting Closet Cat removes its active account/library records and CR-owned media and disables public collection links. It does not delete a separate CN account or CN-owned inventory. Minimal pseudonymous subject/deletion records remain to prevent delayed requests or stale credentials recreating erased data.

Deleted storage objects can remain in the cloud provider’s recoverable soft-delete storage for seven days. The database retains seven automated daily backups and seven days of transaction-log recovery; copies in those recovery systems expire under that retention. Recovery data is not served as an active account. We retain information longer only where required for security, dispute resolution or applicable law. Provider-held copies follow the provider’s own policies.

Request deletion without the app. You can also use Delete Closet Cat account in a compatible current app. We verify ownership before acting on an email request and confirm its scope and completion. Do not send passwords, sign-in tokens or private photos to support.

Your choices and contact

We and our providers may process information outside your home country, including in the United States. Provider privacy policies describe their processing and safeguards.

You may decline AI processing, remove selected photos, sign out, request access/correction, or request deletion. For privacy questions contact toli@toli.me. This service is not directed to young children. If a child has supplied personal information without appropriate permission, contact us for review and removal.
