Privacy Policy

1. Information You Provide

• Account information. When you create an account, we collect your name or username and email address, and (if you set one) a password. If you sign in with a third-party provider such as Apple, we receive the basic account details that provider shares with us.
• Content you create. We collect the content you add to the Service, including outfit photos you upload, comments, votes, event details (such as event name, date, location, and dress code), moodboards, links, and the names of people you invite or add to an event.
• Messages to us. If you contact support or send feedback, we collect the contents of that message and your contact details.

2. Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data. We collect information about how you interact with the Service, such as features used, screens viewed, and actions taken, to operate and improve the app.
• Device and log data. We collect device type, operating system version, app version, general (non-precise) location inferred from your IP address, and diagnostic information such as crash reports.
• Identifiers. We assign an account identifier and may process device identifiers needed to run the app and keep it stable.

Clothesline does not access your phone’s contacts. Invitations are sent through links you choose to share. If this changes in a future version, we will update this policy before the feature ships.

3. How We Use Information

• To provide the Service — create your account, host events, display outfits, run voting, and show attendee lists.
• To enable the social features of the app, including sharing your content with the other people in the events you join.
• To maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service.
• To communicate with you about your account, updates, and support requests.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4. How Information Is Shared

• With other users. Content you post to an event (photos, comments, votes, your name) is visible to the other people in that event. Think of an event as a shared group space.
• With service providers. We use trusted third parties to host and operate the Service — for example, cloud hosting and database providers, authentication, and crash/diagnostics tools. They may process information only on our behalf and under obligations of confidentiality.
• For legal reasons. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users or the public.
• Business transfers. If Clothesline is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for cross-app or cross-site advertising tracking.

5. Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we must retain it to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.

6. Your Choices and Rights

• Access and update. You can review and edit your account information in the app.
• Delete your account. You can delete your account and associated content at any time from within the app, or by emailing us at the address below.
• Regional rights. Depending on where you live (for example, the EEA, UK, or California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

7. Children's Privacy

Clothesline is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Users

We may process and store information in the United States and other countries. By using the Service, you understand your information may be transferred to locations that may have different data protection rules than your own.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective” date above and, for material changes, provide a more prominent notice within the app.
