Clobe · Last updated 29 October 2026
Clobe is a wardrobe app. You photograph or film the clothes you already own, and it suggests outfits from them. This page explains exactly what we collect, what we do with it, and who else sees it. It is written to be read, not to be survived.
To recognise your clothes, draw clean pictures of them, build your avatar and show outfits on it, Clobe sends your photographs and videos to Google's Gemini API. That includes pictures of your garments, screenshots and photos of clothes you check before buying, the photos you provide of yourself, and a cropped image of your face. Nothing is sent until you have agreed to it in the app, and you can stop at any time by withdrawing in Settings, or by deleting your account.
Clobe is operated by Hemanth Raj Garlapati. For anything on this page, write to theclobeapp@gmail.com.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your email address | To create your account and sign you in. If you use Sign in with Apple or Google, we receive the address that service gives us, including a private relay address, if you chose to hide yours. |
| Your first name | So the app can address you. Optional beyond that. |
| Your gender, date of birth, height and weight | Asked in About you. Your gender sets the men's or women's side of Clobe: the clothes it knows, the outfits it suggests and how your pictures are drawn. Your date of birth tells us you are 13 or over and gives your avatar its age. Your height and, if you give it, your weight give your avatar the right shape. |
| Photographs of your clothes | To identify each garment, its colour, pattern and type, and to draw a clean picture of it. |
| Videos of your wardrobe | An alternative to photographing each item. We extract still frames and identify the garments in them. |
| Screenshots and photos of clothes you might buy | When you check one in Before you buy: to find the clothes in it, compare them with yours, draw a clean picture of the piece and, if you ask, show it on your avatar. You can open it again from Recent or your Wishlist. The whole picture is sent, so anyone else in it is sent too. |
| Photographs of you | Only if you choose to build an avatar. We use them to generate a likeness, and we keep a cropped image of your face so later pictures look like you. |
| Your wardrobe data | Garment types, colours, what you wore and when, outfits you saved. This is the app. |
| Approximate location | To fetch your local weather so suggestions suit the day, and to have Today's outfits ready each morning. See below. |
| How you use the app | Which screens you open, which features you use, how long screens take to load, and crashes with the steps just before them, so we can fix what is slow or broken. |
If you allow it, we ask your device for an approximate position, not a precise one, and send those coordinates to Open-Meteo to look up the current weather. We keep that approximate position (about 11 km, never a street) and your time zone, so Today's outfits are ready each morning. We keep only the latest, and delete it with your account. If you later turn location off, the last one stays until you delete your account, and is still used for the weather for up to 14 days. If you refuse the permission, the app works; it simply stops adjusting for weather.
| Who | What they get |
|---|---|
| Google (Gemini API) | Your garment photos, wardrobe videos, the screenshots and photos you check in Before you buy, the photos you provide of yourself, and your face crop, sent so they can be identified, drawn and rendered. To suggest outfits, it also gets your clothes described in words, when you last wore each one for that occasion, the looks you disliked or wore today, the occasion you pick or type, and the day's temperature. It is told your gender, so the pictures and outfits suit you, and when you build an avatar, your age and, if you gave them, your height and weight. Google states that data sent through the paid Gemini API is not used to train its models. |
| Supabase | Your account, your wardrobe data and your images. They store it; they do not use it. |
| Contabo | Hosts the server that does the processing. It is located in Missouri, in the United States. |
| PostHog | Usage events, screen load times and crash reports, linked to your user ID and email. A crash report carries the screens and the app's requests just before it (their names, results and timings, never what was sent). No photographs, and no wardrobe contents. |
| Open-Meteo | Approximate coordinates, from your phone when it shows the weather and from our server each morning to get Today's outfits ready. Never your name, email or account. |
| Apple or Google | If you subscribe, your payment is handled entirely by the app store. We never see your card details. |
| RevenueCat | Your user ID, and your subscription history if you subscribe (which plan, when it started, when it renews), so the app knows whether your plan is on. No card details, no photographs and no wardrobe contents. Deleted when you delete your account. |
We do not sell your data, and we never will. We do not share it with advertisers, and there is no advertising in Clobe.
On servers in the United States. If you are using Clobe from another country, your information is transferred there and processed there.
For as long as your account exists. You can delete your account from inside the app, in Settings, under Account. Deleting it removes your garments, your photographs, your avatar and your history from our database and our file storage. Some of it may persist for a short period in routine backups before those expire.
When we make the clean pictures of your clothes, we keep a working copy of each batch (your original photos and the pictures made from them) for 14 days, only so we can see where a picture went wrong and make them better. After 14 days it is deleted automatically, and if you delete your account it is deleted straight away.
When you delete a piece of clothing, Clobe keeps it and its photos for 15 days, so you can bring it back from Settings, Recently deleted. After 15 days they are deleted for good. You can delete them sooner with Delete now, and deleting your account removes them straight away.
When you delete your account, the usage events PostHog already has are not deleted with it. They stay linked to your user ID (a random code) and may include your email address and, for some early accounts, your name. Our record of what each request to Google cost stays too, with nothing that leads back to you.
You may also ask us for a copy of your data, or ask us to correct it, by writing to theclobeapp@gmail.com.
Clobe is not intended for anyone under 13, and we do not knowingly collect anything from a child. If you believe a child has created an account, write to us and we will remove it.
Your images live in private storage that only your own account can read, enforced by the database itself rather than by our code. Traffic between the app and our server is encrypted. No system is perfect, and we will tell you promptly if something happens that affects you.
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
