Baby Closet, an iPhone app by Alex M. Rodriguez (InceptumRex)
Baby Closet helps parents photograph their baby's clothes, plan outfits on a calendar and get outfit suggestions. It was designed to work without knowing anything about your baby: it never asks for your baby's name, birthday, age, size or photos, and there is no place in the app or its database to store them.
The short version
- Photos are analyzed on your iPhone. The original photo is never kept or uploaded.
- Photos that show a person or a face are rejected before anything is saved.
- Without an account, everything stays on your iPhone.
- With an account, your closet syncs to your own private account so you can use it on your other devices. Nothing is shared with other users.
- No ads, no tracking, no analytics, and we never sell your data.
- You can delete everything, or your whole account, from Settings in the app.
What stays on your iPhone
When you add clothes, Baby Closet uses Apple's Vision framework on your iPhone to find each garment in the photo, cut it out, suggest its type and detect its color. If the photo contains a person or a face, it's rejected. Only the cut-out of each garment is saved, re-encoded so the photo's location and other metadata are removed. Photos are chosen with the system photo picker, so Baby Closet never has access to your photo library.
On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the app also asks Apple's on-device model to look at each garment cut-out and suggest its type, a short name, its pattern and how warm it is. This happens entirely on your iPhone. The optional stylist note and the stylist's pick on the Next Style screen are also written by Apple Intelligence on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to us or to anyone else to write it. To point out a garment you may have already added, the app compares new cut-outs with the ones in your closet using Apple's Vision framework, also on your iPhone. Reminders, if you turn them on, are scheduled on your iPhone as local notifications; no push service or server is involved. When you use Siri or Shortcuts to hear or update today's outfit, Baby Closet reads your plans on your iPhone and sends nothing to us.
Weather
If you turn on the forecast in Next Style, Baby Closet asks for your approximate location (not your precise one) and sends it to Apple Weather (WeatherKit) to get the forecast for the coming days, which is also used in your outfit reminders. The location isn't stored by the app, isn't sent to our servers and isn't linked to your account. You can turn location access off anytime in the Settings app.
If you create an account
An account is optional. You can sign in with Apple or with Google to sync your closet across your devices. When you do, the following is stored with your account:
- Account details: your email address and an account ID. Sign in with Apple only shares your email (you can choose Apple's Hide My Email). If you sign in with Google, Google also shares your name and profile picture with our sign-in provider; Baby Closet doesn't use them.
- Your closet: the garment cut-out images; each garment's type, color, seasons, favorite, layering and laundry settings; your saved outfits; your calendar plans (date, occasion and optional time of day); and your closets' names, emoji and colors.
Occasions are picked from a fixed list rather than typed, so personal notes don't end up in the database. Closet names are free text: we suggest naming closets by place or purpose, not by your baby's name.
Purchases
Baby Closet Premium is bought through Apple. Apple processes the payment and we never receive your payment details. The app checks whether your subscription is active using Apple's StoreKit on your iPhone; we don't store your purchase history on our servers. See the Terms of Use for subscription terms.
Who processes your data
- Supabase hosts the database, image storage and sign-in for accounts. Data is encrypted in transit, and database rules ensure only you can read it.
- Apple and Google handle sign-in when you choose them. Apple also handles subscription payments and, if you turn on the forecast, provides the weather through WeatherKit.
We don't use advertising or analytics services, and we don't sell or rent your data to anyone.
Keeping and deleting your data
- Delete All Data in Settings removes your closets from your iPhone.
- Delete Account in Settings permanently deletes your account, your images and everything synced to it.
- Deleting the app removes everything stored on your iPhone.
We keep account data only while your account exists.
Children
Baby Closet is made for parents and isn't directed at children. It's built not to collect information about babies or children, rejects photos of people, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or California law), you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to object to how it's used. Most of this you can do in the app; for anything else, email us and we'll respond within 30 days.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above, and tell you in the app if the change is significant.
