Privacy Policy
What we collect, why, who we share it with, and how you stay in control. Plain English, no dark patterns.
- Kapsee is run by condu s. r. o., a Slovak company. We are the data controller.
- We store your email, a hashed password, the photos you take of clothing, the garment facts we extract from them, your wardrobe items, and basic usage logs.
- Your clothing photos are sent to Anthropic (the Claude vision API) to read what the garment is. We name every processor below.
- We never sell your data, run no ad networks, and our analytics is cookieless.
- You can download all your data or delete your account from inside the app at any time.

2. What we collect
| Data | Why we hold it |
|---|---|
| Email address | Your login identity, account recovery, and transactional email (e.g. password reset). |
| Password | Stored only as a bcrypt hash — we never keep the plaintext and cannot see your password. |
| Photos of clothing | The core of the app. You snap a garment; we process the image to understand what it is. |
| Extracted garment facts | The structured attributes read from a photo (type, colour, pattern, material cues) that drive the verdict. |
| Wardrobe items | The pieces you keep in your digital wardrobe so Kapsee can compare a new item against what you own. |
| Usage & security logs | Basic technical logs (timestamps, request/error info, IP for a short window) to run the service and prevent abuse. |
Planned, not yet collected: a price field per item is on our roadmap. If and when we add it, this policy will be updated before that data is collected.
We do not intentionally collect special-category data. Please don't upload photos of anything other than clothing.
3. Who processes your data (sub-processors)
To run Kapsee we rely on a small number of vetted providers. We share the minimum needed and only for the purpose below. This is the full list:
| Processor | What they do | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic (Claude vision API) | Reads your clothing photo to extract garment facts (type, colour, etc.). | The clothing photo you take, at the moment you request a verdict. This is a genuine cross-processor data flow and we disclose it plainly. |
| Resend | Sends transactional email (verification, password reset, account notices). | Your email address and the message content. |
| Hetzner | Hosting and servers. Infrastructure is located in Germany / the EU. | All application data at rest, as our hosting provider. |
Each provider processes data under its own data-processing terms. See Anthropic's privacy terms, Resend's DPA, and Hetzner's privacy policy. Where a provider processes data outside the EEA, that transfer is governed by the safeguards in its terms (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses). We do not use any advertising, data-broker, or tracking third parties.
4. Why we're allowed to process it (lawful bases)
- Performance of a contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)). Storing your account, wardrobe and photos and returning verdicts is the service you signed up for.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)). Keeping the service secure, preventing abuse, and basic diagnostics. We balance this against your rights.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), where it applies — e.g. any optional communication you opt into. You can withdraw consent at any time.
5. How long we keep it
We keep your data for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your personal data — including your photos, extracted facts and wardrobe — is deleted. Short-lived technical logs age out on their own. Backups roll over on their normal cycle. We may retain the minimum required by law (e.g. accounting records) where a legal obligation applies.
6. Your rights
Under GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and port your data, and to object to certain processing. Two of these are built right into the app:
- Download my data (export). Export a copy of your account data from your account settings — this is a live feature, not a request form.
- Delete account. Permanently delete your account and associated personal data from account settings.
- Rectification. Correct your email and account details in settings at any time.
You can also exercise any right by emailing hello@kapsee.com. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Slovak supervisory authority, the Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky (dataprotection.gov.sk), or with the authority in your EU country of residence.
7. Security
Passwords are stored only as bcrypt hashes. Access to production data is limited. We host within the EU with Hetzner. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data.
8. Cookies & analytics
Kapsee uses a single strictly-necessary cookie (capsule_session) to keep you logged in, and privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics (Umami) that sets no cookies and does not track you across sites. Full detail in our Cookie Notice. We do not sell data and use no advertising cookies.
9. Children
Kapsee is not intended for anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the product changes. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "last updated" date, and where required we'll notify you. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
In one line
Your photos, your wardrobe, your call. We process what we need to answer "yes or no", we name everyone who touches it, and you can take it all back with one tap.
