Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026.

Valet is a personal wardrobe stylist for iPhone and Android: it dresses you for each part of your day from the clothes you own, the weather and your calendar. This policy says what Valet keeps, where, and why. In short: what you put into Valet is used only to style you, it is never sold, and there is no advertising and no tracking across apps or websites. Valet counts how its features are used — anonymously, and only while you let it (see Anonymous usage). Valet is made by an independent developer, trading as Valet Stylist; "we" below means them.

Who Valet is for

Valet is for adults: you need to be 18 or over to use it. It is in testing, by invitation, on iPhone and Android. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18; if we learn we have, we delete it.

What stays on your phone

Your closet, photos, outfit history and answers live on your phone first, and Valet works fully without an account.

Your calendar is read on the phone. Valet reads your events' titles, times, places and notes on the phone to dress you for them. Who is invited never leaves your phone: Valet keeps only scrambled fingerprints of guests, on the phone, so it doesn't repeat a look in front of the same people. Nothing from your calendar goes to AI unless you turn on Read my calendar with AI (see AI below), and anything that looks medical never does — nor does a plan Valet can't tell anything about. A plan that looks medical isn't saved to your account by name either: where Valet keeps the plan you dressed for, it's called "Appointment".

If you create an account

You can sign in with a code sent to your email, with Google, or on iPhone with Sign in with Apple. An account keeps a copy of your Valet data, so a new phone can get it back. It's saved by itself while you're signed in, when you open or leave the app. It holds:

• Your sign-in details: your email address. With Sign in with Apple or Google, it also holds your name if you share it. If you choose "Hide My Email" with Apple, only Apple's relay address is stored. With Sign in with Apple, Valet also keeps the token Apple gives it, only so it can cancel your Apple sign-in when you delete your account.
• What you've saved in Valet: your pieces and their photos, your outfit history (with the names of the plans you dressed for, such as a flight or a meeting, but never one that looks medical: that's saved as "Appointment") and "What I wore" photos, inspiration photos, your style and profile answers (for example what you wear to work, your sizes and what you never wear), your wishlist and trips, your settings, which calendars Valet reads and what each one is for, and the corrections and words you've taught Valet about your calendar plans (kept under the plans' titles; one about a plan that looks medical stays on your phone).
• Your conversation with the stylist and what Valet knows about you (see The stylist below).
• Which phone holds the account, as a random name for that installation of Valet (not a device identifier), so an older phone that's still signed in stops saving over a newer one.

The account doesn't hold what the AI read from your calendar, anything about who was invited, or the scrambled fingerprints of guests.

This data is stored with Supabase in the United States. It is encrypted in transit and locked so that your account can read only its own data. The developer can reach the database to keep the service running, and does so only to fix problems you report. Valet's server also counts how many AI requests each account makes a day, to share the free allowance fairly.

The stylist

The stylist chat keeps your conversation (its last 60 messages) so it can pick up where you left off. New conversation clears it. It also keeps a short list, What Valet knows about you — facts like "Prefers no ties at work" or "Runs cold" — learned from the chat and from your quick feedback on a look (Loved it, Not for me, Too formal, Too casual). You can see, edit or delete every fact in Settings › You.

Valet is built to refuse facts about your health, body, religion, sexuality, politics or money, and contact details, whoever suggests them. The chat itself is kept as you wrote it, so don't type anything there you wouldn't want saved.

Both are kept on your phone and, while you're signed in, in your account. They are sent to AI with your questions to the stylist (see AI).

You can report anything Valet's AI writes: a stylist reply (press and hold it, or tap its …), and the daily second opinion, a fit check or a "What to wear to…" answer (press and hold it). Pick a reason (offensive or harmful, wrong or unsafe advice, or something else) and it folds away on your phone; a reported stylist reply isn't sent to AI again. If Share anonymous usage is on, Valet's server is told a reply was reported and the reason you picked, never the reply's words (see Anonymous usage). If it's off, nothing is sent, and you can email us the details yourself.

AI

Some features use AI. AI is invite-only while Valet is in testing: it works only for a signed-in account whose email is on Valet's invite list, which the developer keeps by hand (or through your own home server, see Backups). Without an account, or if your email isn't on the list, nothing is sent to AI — Valet's server turns the request away before it reaches Google — and everything else in Valet still works.

For these features, what's listed below is sent through Valet's server to Google's Gemini API. It goes without your name or email. Valet uses Gemini's free tier, under which Google may use what's sent to improve its products, and people at Google may read it to do that. Don't add photos or words you wouldn't want processed this way.

• Photos of your pieces — and a label photo, words or a product link you add with them — to name and tag them. A photo taken with Valet's camera guide is also checked for quality. A product link is opened on the shop's own website, from your phone, and the page's text is sent.
• "What I wore" photos — checked for wear and tear each time you save one, and checked for fit when you ask, along with the pieces' names and your sizes.
• Inspiration photos and how you describe your style — when you set your style.
• Your closet as text — the pieces' names, colours, cloth and kinds, not their photos — with the weather and your style: once a day for a second opinion on the day's look, and when you ask the stylist, chat with it, check a piece against your style, tidy your pieces' names, estimate what pieces are made of, or draft a resale listing. A message to the stylist also sends what you wrote, today's planned looks, what's in the wash or put away, the city and dates of a trip, the conversation so far (its last few messages, and a line for each earlier question) and what Valet knows about you.
• "What to wear to…" questions, with their date and your style.
• Shop ideas: what your closet is missing, your price range and whether you shop menswear or womenswear; for stores near you, your city and the brands you like.
• Your calendar — only if you turn on Read my calendar with AI (it's off unless you do). For plans Valet is unsure how to dress for, when their words or place say what they are (a dinner, drinks, a bar): each one's title, place, the first lines of its notes (with links, email addresses, phone numbers and codes taken out), what its calendar is for, and its day, time and length — with your city, your work setup and dress code, whether you own traditional clothes, and what you never wear. With it on, the stylist may also mention today's plans by name, on the same terms. Anything that looks medical is never sent, nor is a plan Valet can't tell anything about, nor who's invited.

Location and weather

Valet uses only your approximate location: it never asks your phone for your precise location, and it rounds what the phone gives before it goes anywhere: to about 2 km for your forecast, and to about 10 km for anything that only needs your region. Rounded to about 2 km, it goes to Open-Meteo to fetch your forecast; rounded to about 10 km, it goes there once a year for last year's temperatures where you are. Places you type for a trip or an occasion go to Open-Meteo's place search. Your phone turns your location, rounded to about 2 km, into a city name: on an iPhone with Apple's maps service; on Android with the phone's own location service (Google's, on most Android phones). Tapping a store opens Maps near you, at about 2 km. Valet doesn't keep a history of where you've been.

Anonymous usage

While Settings › AI & privacy › Share anonymous usage is on (it's on while Valet is being tested, and you can turn it off at any time), the app sends counts of what was used to Valet's server, so the people building Valet can see what helps:

• What's counted: the app being opened, Today being viewed, a look being worn (and which part of the day — work, evening, a trip — never which clothes), a look swapped, a trip planned (and how many days), a message to the stylist (never its words), a stylist button used (wear, plan, save, swap), a Premium feature used, a service card shown or tapped (which partner and which kind of service), a shop link tapped (whether it could earn Valet a commission — never the product; for a link that can, see Services and shop links), and a stylist reply reported (only the reason you picked — never the reply).
• With each count: the day, your metro area or country (never anything finer — no city, address, ZIP or coordinates), whether the phone is an iPhone or Android, the app's version, and a scrambled name for this installation of Valet. The scrambled name is made on your phone from a secret that never leaves it, so it can't be linked to your account, email or phone.
• Never: your clothes or their names, anything you type, your photos, your email address or your exact location.

Valet's server checks every count against that list and drops anything else. The counts are kept by Supabase in the United States, apart from your account's data and with nothing linking them to it. They're kept for up to 13 months, then deleted automatically. Because nothing in them points to you, we can't pick out yours, and deleting your account doesn't remove them. Turning the switch off stops counting at once and deletes any counts still waiting on your phone.

Services and shop links

Valet may suggest a local service when your closet asks for one — a dry-cleaning or laundry pickup when the pile is big, a tailor for an alteration your fit check found, a cobbler for worn soles, or where to sell a piece you've listed. These are only offered where a partner serves your area, and you can say "Not now" (Valet asks again after a pause, only if it's still needed).

• What decides who's suggested: your area, worked out on your phone from your weather location. Your location isn't sent to the partner or to Valet.
• When you tap a partner's link: your browser opens the partner's own website. The partner gets only what you give it there, plus — in the link itself — that Valet sent you, a referral code if Valet has one with them, and, if their link asks for it, how many pieces you have for them. Nothing about your clothes or your account goes to the partner. What you book is between you and them, under their terms and privacy policy.
• Counting the tap: with Share anonymous usage and Partner links both on, a tap on a partner's link goes through Valet's server first. It records the partner, where in the app it was tapped, your metro area or country, the scrambled install name and the day — then sends you on. A partner's link carries nothing about you, so that's all the server sees.
• Shop links open straight from your phone. A shop link that can earn a commission gets the shop's tag on your phone (or goes by the shop's affiliate network's link), and opens without passing through Valet's server — so Valet never sees which product you looked at. With Share anonymous usage on, your phone then tells Valet's server, separately, that such a link was tapped: the shop's website name (never the product or the link), where in the app, your metro area or country, the scrambled install name and the day.
• How long: these link taps are kept for up to 13 months, then deleted automatically, like the usage counts. With either switch off, links open straight and no tap is recorded this way.
• Commissions: some partners and shops may pay Valet when you book or buy through a link. Valet says so beside each such link ("Valet earns a commission if you book or buy through this link"), and says when it isn't paid. Nobody can pay to have a piece, a brand or a service recommended to you, and payment never changes what Valet recommends or in what order — it only decides which link a shop gets. You can turn off Settings › Shopping › Partner links to always get the plain link. Today, in testing, no partner or shop pays Valet.

Backups

• A file you save yourself: Settings can save your closet, outfit history and answers as one file, to Files or iCloud Drive on an iPhone, or to Google Drive on Android, or anywhere your phone's share sheet offers. The file goes where you send it; photos aren't in it.
• Android's own backup is off: Valet doesn't use Android's automatic backup to Google Drive, so nothing from Valet goes there unless you save a file there yourself.
• Your own home server: if you run your own Valet home server (a small computer at home, reached only over your private network), Valet backs up your closet, photos and answers to it, and AI requests go to Google through it; it remembers identical requests for a day so a repeat costs nothing. It can also read clothing order emails from your Gmail, read-only, and only their item lines go to AI.

Google Calendar

On an iPhone with a home server, you can connect a Google calendar directly. Valet then reads its events from Google with read-only access. The sign-in stays in your phone's keychain and never goes to your account.

What Valet never does

• No advertising, and no tracking across apps or websites. Usage is counted only anonymously, and only while Share anonymous usage is on.
• No selling of your data. It goes only to the services named above (Supabase, Google's Gemini API, Open-Meteo, and your phone's own maps service), to provide Valet's features — with the one exception already said under AI: on Gemini's free tier, Google may also use what's sent to improve its products.

Deleting your data

• In the app: Settings › Account › Delete account removes your account and everything saved to it (data, photos, your conversation with the stylist and what Valet knows about you) from Valet's servers, permanently, takes your email off the AI invite list, and cancels a Sign in with Apple. If any photo can't be removed, the account isn't deleted, and Valet asks you to try again.
• By email: if you can't use the app, write to valet.stylist.app@gmail.com from the address you signed in with, with the subject "Delete my Valet account". We'll delete the account and everything saved to it, take your email off the AI invite list, and reply to confirm when it's done.
• What stays: the anonymous usage counts and link taps, which can't be traced to you; they're kept for up to 13 months, then deleted automatically.
• Deleting the app removes everything stored on your phone.
• Signing out saves everything to your account first, checks that every photo arrived, then removes your data from the phone: your closet, photos, history, answers, your conversation with the stylist, scheduled reminders and any closet files you exported. If something didn't save, you stay signed in and nothing is removed. If the phone was never matched with your account, or another phone holds the account now, signing out leaves the phone's data where it is.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date above changes with it, and anything significant is noted in the app. For questions or requests, write to valet.stylist.app@gmail.com.

Settings › Send feedback opens a draft to that address in your own mail app. A feedback email is only what you choose to send: what you write, and the app's version and build and your phone's system version, which are shown in the draft and you can delete. Nothing goes until you send it, from your own email account.
