Privacy Policy

Outfit Sourced: Clothes Finder (“Sourced”) · Last updated 12 September 2026

Sourced is made by an individual developer, Fatih Alkan. This policy describes exactly what the app does with your information. It is short because the app does little: there is no account and no server belonging to us. The one thing it does that is not about clothes — measuring which advert brought you here — has its own section below.

There is no account

Sourced has no sign-up, no log-in, and no user profile. We never ask for your name, your email address, or your phone number, and we have no way to identify you or to contact you.

Photographs — the important part

Sourced reads clothing out of pictures. It cannot do that on your device. When you photograph a look, choose a picture from your library, or share a screenshot into Sourced, that picture is sent over an encrypted connection to Google’s Gemini API (generativelanguage.googleapis.com) so that the garments in it can be named. The picture is resized to 1024 pixels on its longest edge before it is sent; it is otherwise unaltered, and it may show people’s faces and bodies if your picture does.

When you then ask Sourced to find one particular garment, a crop of that garment is sent the same way, together with the description the model wrote for it, so that shops selling it can be searched for.

Sourced asks before the first picture is ever sent, in a screen that says plainly where the picture goes. If you decline, the app switches to its built-in sample look and sends nothing. You can turn sending off again at any time in Settings › Reading › Sample look only, which stops all picture uploads and makes the app read only its bundled example.

We do not keep a copy of your pictures. We run no server, so there is nowhere for us to keep one. Once a picture reaches Google, what happens to it is governed by Google’s own terms for the Gemini API and by Google’s privacy policy, at policies.google.com/privacy. Google’s API terms are at ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms.

Shop pages

When you watch a shop page for a price change, and when Sourced checks that a shop link still works, your device fetches that page directly from the retailer. The retailer sees an ordinary web request from your device, including your IP address, exactly as it would if you had opened the page in Safari. Sourced sends the retailer nothing about you beyond that request, and the request is not routed through us.

What is stored, and where

Everything Sourced keeps is stored on your device, in the app’s own container. Nothing is synced to us. That includes:

• the looks you have read, and the photographs they were read from;
• the pieces Sourced named and the shops it found for them;
• the shop pages you are watching and the prices read from them;
• your settings, including your region and whether you have allowed picture sending.

Deleting the app deletes all of it. You can also clear it inside the app from Settings.

Purchases

Sourced Pro is an auto-renewing subscription sold through Apple. Payment is handled entirely by Apple; we never see your card details. We use RevenueCat (revenuecat.com/privacy) to check whether a subscription is active. RevenueCat receives an anonymous identifier it generates itself and the receipt information Apple provides. It is not given your name, your email address, or your photographs.

Meta is not told about your purchase in this version of the app: Meta’s own automatic purchase logging is switched off, and Sourced sends it nothing about money. If that changes, this paragraph changes with it and the date at the top of the page changes too.

Notifications

Sourced sends two kinds of notification, both created on your device. Neither uses a push server, and we cannot send you anything remotely.

• Price alerts, when a shop page you are watching publishes a lower price or the piece comes back in stock.
• Return reminders, at most three in total, if you have not opened the app for a while. These are only ever offered after you have saved at least one look, they are silent, and they stop for good after the third.

Both are optional. Price alerts stop when you stop watching pages; return reminders have their own switch in Settings › Reminders, and all notifications can be turned off in iOS Settings.

What Sourced does not do

• No adverts inside the app. Sourced shows you nothing it was paid to show you, and no shop pays to be in a result.
• We do not measure which screens you open, and we do not log what you search for.
• No selling or renting of data. There is no data to sell.
• No marketing email, because we have no email address for you.

What changed, and why — advertising measurement

Until September 2026 this page said Sourced contained no advertising or attribution SDK of any kind. That is no longer true, and rather than quietly drop the sentence we are saying what replaced it.

Sourced now includes Meta’s Facebook SDK for iOS. It is here for one reason: we buy adverts for Sourced on Instagram and Facebook, and without it we cannot tell which advert brought somebody to the app. It reports to Meta that the app was installed, that it was opened, and — separately, through our subscription provider — that a subscription was bought. It does not receive your photographs, the garments Sourced named, what you searched for, or the shops you opened.

Some of this is sent from the first time you open the app, before you have answered anything: that the app was installed and opened. Without permission to track, it carries no advertising identifier and Meta has no way to join it to you across other apps.

iOS asks you. After your first read, Sourced explains what is at stake and then shows Apple’s own “Allow Sourced to track your activity across other companies’ apps and websites?” prompt. If you choose Ask App Not to Track, or skip the question entirely, no advertising identifier is shared. You can change your answer at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking, and Sourced works identically either way — nothing is gated on it, including the three free reads a day.

Children

Sourced is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect anything from them. Because there is no account, we hold no information about any user that could be identified and removed on request; deleting the app removes everything the app holds.

Sourced is rated 4+ but is not a children’s app and is not in the App Store’s Kids category. No advertising is shown inside the app to anybody.

Your rights

Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held about you. We do not hold any personal data about you on any system of ours, so in practice these rights are exercised on your own device: deleting a look, clearing your data in Settings, or deleting the app removes it. For anything sent to Google, see Google’s privacy policy above. For subscription records, see Apple’s and RevenueCat’s.

One transfer does leave your device to a company outside Sourced for a purpose that is not the app working: the install, open and subscription events sent to Meta, described above. If you are in the UK or the EU and want that transfer limited, choose Ask App Not to Track at the prompt, or turn it off later in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. You can also write to af.alkanfatih@gmail.com and we will tell you what we can see, which is a count, not a person.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Material changes will be described in the app’s release notes.

This policy covers the Sourced iOS app and its share extension. It does not cover the retailers’ own websites, which have their own policies.
