Digital Closet & Gmail Sync

8. How does Gmail Sync work?
Plus icon to view answer

Connect your Gmail account and Garde-Robe will scan eligible purchase confirmation emails to help build your digital closet automatically. We identify past purchases from supported retailers and add those items to your Closet, so you can organize what you own, rediscover forgotten favorites, and easily decide what to keep or resell.

9. Is it safe to connect my Gmail account?
Plus icon to view answer

Absolutely. Garde-Robe completes Google's required security assessment (CASA Tier 2) for apps that access Gmail data. We only access purchase-related details — like the item name, brand, size, and price — and never touch personal messages or unrelated data. Everything is encrypted and used solely to build your digital wardrobe, and your information is never sold or shared.

10. Do I have to connect my Gmail account?
Plus icon to view answer

No! Gmail Sync is completely optional. You can still add items manually using the Garde-Robe app, Chrome Extension, Safari Share Button, or by saving products from Instagram. You can also manually forward eligible purchase confirmation emails to add items to your Closet without connecting your Gmail account.

11. Do I need to take photos of my items?
Plus icon to view answer

Nope. Garde-Robe can automatically import product information from eligible email receipts, including product images and details, making it easy to build your Closet without photographing every item yourself.

12. What can I do with my digital Closet?
Plus icon to view answer

Your Closet helps you keep track of what you own, organize your wardrobe, rediscover pieces you've forgotten about, and identify items you're ready to resell in one-click!
