Privacy Policy for Stitchnook

In short

Stitchnook works without an account and without our own server. Everything you enter stays on your device. We do not collect usage data and use no tracking, advertising or analytics.

Data processed by the app

You enter projects (name, yarn, needle size, gauge, notes), counter values, charts you draw yourself, progress photos from your library and PDF patterns you import from the Files app (including your highlights). When you share a chart as PNG or PDF or a CSV export, only the recipients you choose receive it. Please only import and share patterns you are allowed to use.

This data is stored only locally in the app’s protected storage on your device. It is not transmitted to us or to third parties. Depending on your device settings it is part of your device backup (iCloud or computer), which Apple or you manage.

Sharing

When you send a document by email, message or the share menu, this happens through the app you choose. You decide on recipients and content. You are responsible for sharing data of third parties (e.g. your customers).

Permissions

The app only asks for permissions needed for a feature (e.g. the camera for photos). You can revoke them anytime in iOS Settings. Picking photos from your library needs no permission: you only share the selected images.

Purchases and subscriptions

The basic features of Stitchnook are free. You can unlock Pro with a subscription (yearly or monthly) or with a one-time purchase (Lifetime). All purchases are handled entirely through your Apple Account and the App Store; Apple’s terms apply, in particular the Standard License Agreement (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. We receive no payment or personal data, only the purchase confirmation signed by Apple, which the app checks on your device to unlock Pro. Apple’s privacy policy applies: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

• Auto-renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically for the chosen period at the price shown unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account.
• Cancellation: anytime in your Apple Account settings under “Subscriptions” (in the app also via “Manage subscriptions”). Pro stays active until the end of the paid period; after that the free version applies again and your data is kept.
• Free trial: For new subscribers, the yearly subscription starts with a free trial of 7 days. If you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, you won’t be charged; otherwise it automatically converts into the paid yearly subscription. The trial is available once per Apple Account.
• Lifetime: a one-time purchase with no renewal and no further costs.
• Refunds are handled by Apple only (https://reportaproblem.apple.com).

Email support

If you email us, we process your address and message only to answer your request (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR) and delete them when no longer needed.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection (Art. 15 to 21 GDPR) and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Since your app data stays on your device, you can change, export or delete it there at any time.

Changes

We update this policy when the app or the legal situation changes. The version shown in the app applies.
