Armaria — Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 26, 2026
This policy explains what data Armaria ("the app") handles. The app is published by Yabin Alejandro Lagunes Cuevas, trading as The Alchemist Code ("we"), who is responsible for your data. Contact: [email protected].
The short version
- There is no account. We never ask for your name, email or password.
- Your photos, clothes, outfits, what you wore each day, trips and settings are stored only on your device. We do not upload them anywhere and we don't run a server that stores closets.
- Removing the background of a photo happens on your phone, with Google's ML Kit. Your photos are not sent to us or to Google.
- The app does not use your location or contacts, and it takes photos through your phone's own camera and photo picker, without access to the rest of your gallery.
- The app shows ads and uses analytics and crash reporting. Those services, run by Google, collect some technical data, described below.
Data stored on your device
Your clothing items (the original photo, the cut-out, category, color, seasons and, if you add them, brand, size, price, purchase date, tags and notes), your outfits, the days you logged what you wore, planned days, trips with their packing lists, and your settings. They stay on your phone.
- Photos: you choose each one with your phone's camera or photo picker. The app only receives the photo you pick and keeps a copy in its own storage. The original is always kept, even if you use the cut-out.
- Sharing an outfit: when you tap Share, the app creates an image of the outfit and hands it to the app you choose. We are not involved in sending it.
- Backup file: the app creates a .zip (your data and photos) only when you ask. You decide where to save it and who to share it with. We never receive it.
- Android backup: if backup to your Google account is turned on in your phone's settings, Android may include the app's data in your device backup so it comes back when you move to a new phone. Android makes that backup and stores it encrypted in your Google account. We have no access to it.
You can erase everything at any time in Settings › Delete all my data. Uninstalling the app also removes it from the phone.
Data collected by third-party services
| Service | What it collects | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (ads) | IP address (used to estimate approximate location), Android advertising ID and app set ID, interactions with ads and the app, performance diagnostics | Showing ads, measuring them, preventing fraud |
| Google Analytics for Firebase | App-instance ID, advertising ID, approximate location derived from a masked IP address, screen views, sessions and purchase events | Understanding how the app is used |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Crash stack traces, device metadata at the time of a crash, app state, an installation identifier | Finding and fixing crashes |
| Firebase Remote Config | Country, language, time zone, OS and app version | Adjusting app settings remotely |
| Google ML Kit (background removal, on the device) | A per-installation identifier, device model and OS version, app version, performance metrics and API settings such as image size. Not your photos | Diagnostics of the on-device feature |
| Google Play Billing | Payment details and your purchase | Processing your Premium subscription or one-time purchase (we never see your card) |
None of these services receives your photos, clothes, outfits or what you wore. All of this data is encrypted in transit. Each provider handles it under its own privacy policy:
- Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- How Google uses data from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
- ML Kit data disclosure: https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/android-data-disclosure
Your choices
- Ad personalization (EEA, UK, Switzerland): the app asks for your consent before showing personalized ads, and you can change your choice anytime in Settings › Ad privacy options.
- Advertising ID: you can reset or delete it in your Android settings under Privacy › Ads.
- Notifications: the daily "What are you wearing today?" reminder is optional and off by default, and so is the reminder five days before each renewal if you take out a subscription. You can deny the permission and still use everything, or revoke it anytime in your phone's settings.
- Premium removes all ads.
Your rights
You can ask us about your data or to delete it by writing to [email protected]. Because the app has no account and your data stays on your phone, we hold nothing that identifies you; deleting your data in the app removes it for good.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated date.
