STITCH & BEAD
Privacy policy
Updated 9 November 2026. Covers Stitch & Bead for iPhone and iPad.
Photo conversion and editing happen on your device. The app has no account system, ads, analytics, tracking SDK or developer-operated server. The developer does not collect your photos, pattern contents, material selections or usage data.
Only photos and files you select with the system picker are read. Saved projects include a reduced-size reference photo, cells, material codes and completion marks. Material selections are remembered locally for each craft. Device backups follow your Apple settings.
Sharing sends only the file you choose to the destination you select. Editable backups include the reference photo and progress; exports are not password-protected. Files, iCloud Drive and sharing services handle transfers under their own policies. The app does not automatically sync your work.
Projects remain until you delete them or remove the app's local data. Export a backup before uninstalling. Deleting a project does not delete copies you exported or system backups. Temporary preview and export files may remain until iOS clears them.
Apple processes payments and provides verified purchase entitlements. The developer does not receive payment card details. No separate app account is needed to purchase or restore Pro.
The support website is hosted on GitHub Pages, which may log IP addresses for security. Public issue reports and attachments are visible to others and handled under GitHub's privacy policy. Do not post personal photos or complete project backups. Support uses the information you choose to provide to answer your request; the app attaches nothing automatically.
