Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 14, 2026

Effective Date: September 14, 2026 Last Updated: September 14, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Kindklos. This Privacy Policy explains what the app keeps on your phone, the small amount of data that leaves it, and the choices you have.

Key Privacy Principles:

  • Your closet stays on your phone: Your items, photos, outfits and wear history are never uploaded to us or to any cloud service
  • No Account Required: No sign-up and no email address. If you add your name on the Me tab, it stays on your phone
  • No In-App Purchases: Nothing to buy inside the app, so no payment data ever reaches us
  • No Ads, No Ad Tracking: We don’t show ads, we don’t track you across apps, and we don’t sell data
  • Transparency: Every piece of data that leaves your phone is listed in this policy
  • Data Minimization: We only collect what we need to fix bugs and show the weather

1. Who We Are

Kindklos is a sustainable fashion tracking application that helps you organize your wardrobe, track clothing wear, and make conscious fashion choices.

Contact Information:

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Wardrobe Data (Stored on Your Phone Only)

Kindklos runs on your device. Your wardrobe data is not sent to us. It stays on your phone:

  • Clothing item data (photos, descriptions, tags, purchase info)
  • Outfit combinations
  • Wear history
  • Planned outfits (calendar)
  • App settings and preferences
  • Your name, if you add one on the Me tab

How it’s stored:

  • Records are kept in the app’s private storage on your device, and photos in the app’s private files folder. Other apps can’t read either.
  • Kindklos does not add its own encryption. Your data is protected by your phone’s built-in encryption, which is on whenever your device has a passcode.
  • No account, no login, no servers of ours
  • The app works without an internet connection; only the weather forecast needs one

2.2 Crash Reporting (Sentry)

Kindklos uses Sentry to find and fix crashes and slowdowns. Crash reporting is on by default and you can turn it off at any time with the Send crash reports switch in Me → Preferences → Privacy. When it’s off, the app sends nothing to Sentry.

When it’s on, a report can include:

  • App version and build, device model, operating system version, and similar technical details
  • Error messages and stack traces
  • A short log of what the app was doing just before the problem: screens visited, internal record IDs, and the web addresses the app contacted (with any location details removed)
  • App sessions (whether the app closed normally), app freezes, and performance timings from a small sample of sessions
  • A random installation ID that Sentry generates so reports from the same install can be grouped. It is not linked to your name, email, or Apple or Google account.

We’ve configured Sentry so reports don’t include your wardrobe content or photos, and the app never sends your device’s location to Sentry. When a report arrives, Sentry uses the connection’s IP address to estimate a rough location (country and city); it does not store the IP address itself. Because of the installation ID, reports are pseudonymous rather than fully anonymous; we don’t use them to identify you. Crash data is used only to fix bugs. It is never used for advertising or sold.

2.3 Device Permissions

Kindklos asks for these permissions only when you use the feature that needs them. All are optional; the app works without them.

  • Camera and Photos: to add pictures of your clothes. The photos stay on your device.
  • Location (only while using the app): to fetch today’s local weather. The app reads your location on your phone and sends only a rounded version (about 1 km) to the weather service (see Section 7.2).
  • Notifications: for reminders you choose in Me → Preferences → Notifications. They’re scheduled on your phone; nothing is sent to us.

2.4 If You Email Us

If you contact us, for example with Send Feedback on the Me tab, we receive your email address, your message, and the app version and phone operating system the app adds to the draft. We use them only to reply.

2.5 Data We Do NOT Collect

We never collect:

  • An account, or your name or email address (unless you email us, see Section 2.4)
  • Your precise location (only a rounded version is sent, for the weather)
  • Contacts or address book
  • Social media profiles
  • Financial or payment information
  • Biometric data
  • Health data
  • Browsing history
  • Data from other apps

3. How We Use Your Information

3.1 Wardrobe Data

Your wardrobe data is never uploaded to us or any cloud service. It is used only on your device for:

  • Displaying your wardrobe
  • Creating and planning outfits
  • Tracking wear history
  • Calculating cost-per-wear
  • Exporting data (the export file stays on your device until you share it)

3.2 Crash Reporting

Crash reports help us:

  • Identify and fix crashes
  • Improve app stability and speed
  • Prioritize bug fixes

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process the limited data described above based on:

Legitimate Interests:

  • Crash reporting, to keep the app stable and fix defects. You can object at any time by turning off Send crash reports in Me → Preferences → Privacy.

Your Permission:

  • The weather lookup, which only happens if you grant location permission. You can withdraw it in your phone’s settings.

Legal Obligations:

  • Responding to valid legal requests

Because Kindklos does not collect wardrobe data, account information, or contact details, most categories of GDPR processing simply do not apply.

5. Data Storage and Security

5.1 On Your Phone

  • Records are stored in the app’s private storage, and photos in its private files folder
  • Your wardrobe data and photos are not uploaded to us or any cloud service
  • Kindklos does not encrypt this data itself; it relies on your phone’s built-in encryption and passcode

Backup:

  • You are responsible for backups
  • Use Me → Export → Everything regularly; the resulting file can be restored in one tap
  • Your phone’s own backups (iCloud or Google) may include the app’s data, under Apple’s or Google’s terms

5.2 Security Measures

Technical Safeguards:

  • App data sits in private storage that other apps can’t read
  • Crash reports and weather requests are sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS)
  • Input validation, including protection against spreadsheet formula injection in exported CSV files
  • We fix security issues we learn about in app updates

Your Responsibility:

  • Use a device passcode (this is what turns on your phone’s encryption)
  • Keep the app updated
  • Report security concerns to contact@kindklos.com

6. Data Retention

  • Wardrobe data is kept on your device until you delete it
  • You control all deletions
  • Uninstalling the app deletes all of its data from your device (copies in your iCloud or Google backups follow those services’ rules)
  • Crash reports are deleted automatically by Sentry at the end of its standard retention period

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

7.1 We Do NOT Sell Your Data

We will never:

  • Sell your personal data to third parties
  • Share your data for advertising purposes
  • Rent or trade your information
  • Use your data for marketing

7.2 Third-Party Service Providers

These are the only services that ever receive data from the app:

Sentry (Crash Reporting):

  • Purpose: Crash reporting and performance monitoring (can be turned off in Me → Preferences → Privacy)
  • Data Shared: The report contents described in Section 2.2 — no wardrobe content or photos. Sentry estimates a rough location (country and city) from the connection’s IP address and doesn’t store the IP.
  • Location: United States
  • Privacy Policy: https://sentry.io/privacy/

Open-Meteo (Weather Forecasts):

  • Purpose: Showing today’s local weather on the Today screen and in outfit suggestions
  • Data Shared: Your approximate coordinates, rounded to 2 decimal places (about 1 km) — sent only if you have granted location permission. No identifier of you or your device is sent, and no account is created. As with any internet request, Open-Meteo can see your device’s IP address.
  • Location: European Union
  • Privacy Policy: https://open-meteo.com/en/terms

Google Play Services (Background Removal, Android only):

  • Purpose: On Android, the background-removal feature downloads a one-time on-device machine-learning model (around 200 MB) from Google Play services, only after you choose to use the feature. The model runs entirely on your device — your photos are never uploaded. (On iPhone, background removal uses Apple’s built-in Vision framework, which needs no download.)
  • Data Shared: None beyond what Google Play services itself requires to deliver the model to your device
  • Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Apple App Store / Google Play Store:

  • Purpose: App distribution, updates, and payment for the app
  • Data Shared: None directly from us. Payment is handled entirely by the store — we never receive or store your card details, billing address, or purchase identity. The stores have their own collection practices; see their privacy policies.

We hold very little data, but we may comply with valid legal requests for any crash reports we hold:

  • Legal Requests: Court orders, subpoenas, government requests
  • Rights Protection: Investigate fraud or abuse
  • Safety: Protect the safety of users or the public

8. Your Rights and Choices

8.1 Rights for All Users

Access Your Data:

  • View all your data in the app
  • Export it from Me → Export: CSV files for your items, outfits and wear history; a ZIP of your photos; an insurance PDF with photos; or one Everything ZIP that the app can restore in one tap

Modify Your Data:

  • Edit clothing items, outfits, wear history
  • Update settings and preferences

Delete Your Data:

  • Delete individual items, outfits, or records
  • Delete everything by uninstalling the app

Data Portability:

  • Exports use standard CSV, JSON, PDF, and image files that other apps can open

Crash Reports:

  • Turn off Send crash reports in Me → Preferences → Privacy at any time

8.2 Additional Rights (GDPR — EEA Users)

Because Kindklos does not hold an account or profile for you, most GDPR rights are exercised on the device itself (you have full access, you can edit, you can delete). For crash reports held by Sentry:

Right to Access / Erasure: Email contact@kindklos.com with the approximate date and time of the problem and your device model, and we’ll try to locate and delete matching reports. (Reports don’t contain your name, so we can’t search by it.)

Right to Object: Turn off Send crash reports in Me → Preferences → Privacy.

Right to Lodge a Complaint: File a complaint with your national data protection authority.

How to Exercise Rights:

8.3 Additional Rights (CCPA — California Users)

Right to Know: Categories of data collected, sources, purposes, and third parties (see Sections 2 and 7).

Right to Delete: Your wardrobe data lives on your device — delete it there. For crash reports, email us (see 8.2).

Right to Opt-Out: We do not sell or share data for advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of. You can still turn off crash reports in Me → Preferences → Privacy.

Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

How to Exercise Rights: Email contact@kindklos.com

9. Children’s Privacy

Age Requirements:

  • United States: 13 years or older
  • European Economic Area: 16 years or older
  • Other regions: Age of digital consent in your country

We do not knowingly collect data from children under the required age.

If you are a parent/guardian: If you believe your child has used the app and you want any related crash data removed, contact us at contact@kindklos.com.

10. International Data Transfers

Data that leaves your device is limited to: crash reports sent to Sentry (processed in the United States), if crash reporting is on; your rounded coordinates sent to Open-Meteo for a weather forecast, only if you grant location permission (processed in the EU); and, on Android only, a one-time download of a background-removal model from Google Play services. If you are in the EEA, your local data protection laws still apply, and you keep all the rights described above.

11. Cookies and Tracking

Kindklos does not use cookies, advertising networks, analytics SDKs, social media pixels, or cross-app tracking. The only network calls the app makes are listed in Section 7.2.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new features, legal changes, or clearer wording. When we do:

  • We’ll post the new version on this page and change the “Last Updated” date
  • Material changes will also be mentioned in the app’s App Store release notes
  • Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance

13. Data Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting data we hold (currently limited to crash reports in Sentry), we will:

  • Investigate immediately and contain the breach
  • Notify the relevant authority within 72 hours where the law requires it
  • Tell affected users without undue delay by posting a notice on kindklos.com
  • Provide guidance on protective actions

By using Kindklos, you agree to the limited data practices described in this policy. You can:

  • Turn off crash reports with Send crash reports in Me → Preferences → Privacy
  • Deny or withdraw location permission in your phone’s settings (the weather simply won’t show)
  • Stop all data processing by uninstalling the app

15. Contact Us

Questions about this Privacy Policy or your data?

Response Time: Within 30 days for data rights requests.

16. Supervisory Authority (EEA Users)

If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection supervisory authority. Find your authority at: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en

Summary

We respect your privacy. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Your closet stays on your phone — your wardrobe and photos are never uploaded

  • No data selling — we will never sell your personal information
  • Minimal network calls — crash reports (Sentry, can be turned off), a weather lookup (Open-Meteo, only with your permission), and, on Android, a one-time background-removal model download
