Envee Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 2, 2026
Envee ("Envee," "we," "us") is an iPhone app for ranking and sharing the clothes you own. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It is written in plain English on purpose.
Contact: closetapp.mail@gmail.com (also for privacy requests and questions).
1. What we collect
Account information. Your email address and a password (or, if you use Sign in with Apple, the name and email Apple shares with us, which may be a private relay address) (we store only a scrambled form of the password, never the password itself), your username, an optional display name, an optional profile photo, and a confirmation that you are at least 13 years old. We do not store your date of birth.
Your content. The clothing items you add to your closet or wish list, your rankings and scores, the notes you write, comments, likes, follows, blocks, reports, and any photos you upload of your own items.
Optional phone number. If you add a phone number so friends can find you, we store only a one-way hash (SHA-256) of the number — never the number itself — in a table that no app user can read. Hashed data is pseudonymous, not anonymous; we protect it as personal information and delete it when you remove your number or delete your account.
Optional contacts access (finding friends). If you allow access to your contacts, Envee computes a one-way SHA-256 hash of each phone number and email address on your device. Only those hashes are sent to our servers, where they are compared against the hashes of members who chose to be discoverable. We do not upload or store your contacts, their names, or the hashes, and we never contact anyone in your address book. You can revoke access at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy > Contacts. Finding friends is optional; you can always search by username instead.
Shopping links. When you tap "Shop this item," the retailer and our catalog partner (Channel3) receive the click. We record that you clicked, which item, and the time so we can track affiliate commissions. We do not see what you buy.
Push notifications. If you allow notifications, we store a device token so we can send you alerts about follows, likes, and comments. It is deleted when you sign out or delete your account.
Technical information. Like any online service, our servers receive your device's IP address and basic device information when the app connects. We do not use advertising, analytics, or tracking software of any kind.
2. How we use it
- To run the app: your closet, rankings, feed, notifications, and friend suggestions.
- To keep the community safe: reviewing reports, blocking abuse, removing prohibited content, and enforcing our Terms and Community Guidelines.
- To help friends find each other (only via the hashed matching described above).
- To send price-drop alerts for items on your wish list, inside the app.
- To earn affiliate commissions when you shop through our links (see "Shopping links").
- To comply with the law and respond to lawful requests.
3. What is public
Envee is a social app. Your username, display name, profile photo, closet, rankings, scores, notes, likes, and comments are visible to other members (to everyone if your account is public; to your followers if you set it to private). Notes you write on an item appear on your friends' feeds — do not put private information in a note. Your email address and phone number are never shown to anyone.
4. Who we share it with
We share information only with the service providers that run the app, and only to the extent needed:
- Supabase — hosts our database, authentication, and photo storage.
- Channel3 — provides the clothing catalog (product names, brands, photos, prices, retailer links) and affiliate link tracking.
- Expo (EAS) — builds the app, delivers app updates, and relays push notifications to Apple.
- Apple — the App Store, Sign in with Apple (if you choose it), and push notifications.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect the safety of members, or as part of a business transfer (we would notify you).
5. How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account exists. When you delete your account (Settings > Delete account), your profile, closet, rankings, notes, comments, likes, follows, phone hash, and uploaded photos are deleted within 30 days and removed from backups within 90 days. We keep report and abuse records for up to one year to enforce our rules and comply with the law. Contact-matching hashes are never stored.
6. Your choices and rights
- Delete your account anytime in Settings > Delete account.
- Edit your profile, photo, and phone number in Settings.
- Revoke Contacts, Camera, or Photos access in iOS Settings.
- Block or report anyone from their profile or from a comment.
- Request a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion by emailing closetapp.mail@gmail.com. We respond within 45 days.
- Notifications: turn them off in Settings or in iOS Settings > Notifications.
We do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals because we do not track you across other apps or websites.
7. Children
Envee is for people 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has an account, we delete it and its data. If you believe a child under 13 is using Envee, email closetapp.mail@gmail.com.
8. Security
We use encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest, row-level access rules in our database so members can only reach their own private data, and locked-down photo storage. No system is perfectly secure; if we learn of a breach affecting your information, we will notify you as the law requires.
9. Where your data lives
Envee is offered in the United States and its data is processed in the United States. If you use the app from elsewhere, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US.
10. Changes
We will update this policy as the app changes. The effective date above shows the latest version; for material changes we will notify you in the app.
