StitchTrack

Last updated: May 2025

Short version: StitchTrack stores all your data locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or share any personal information. Your knitting projects are yours.

1. Who We Are

StitchTrack is a knitting and crochet project tracker developed by Gabriella Frank Ferm. The app is available on Android via the Google Play Store.

2. Data We Collect

StitchTrack does not collect any personal data. Specifically:

We do not require account registration or login
We do not collect your name, email address, or any identifying information
We do not use analytics, crash reporting services, or third-party tracking SDKs
We do not serve advertisements

3. Data Stored on Your Device

All data you create in StitchTrack — including project details, row counts, session history, notes, and any photos or PDF patterns you attach — is stored exclusively in a local database on your device.

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to export or share it using the export feature.

4. Permissions Used

StitchTrack requests the following Android permissions:

Camera — used only when you choose to take a photo for a project. Photos are stored locally on your device.
Read Media Images — used only when you choose to pick a photo from your library for a project.
Vibration — used for optional haptic feedback when tapping counter buttons.
Internet / Network State — reserved for a future optional cloud sync feature. Currently unused.

No permission is used to collect or transmit data.

5. Photos and Files

If you attach a photo or PDF pattern to a project, that file is copied to the app's private storage directory on your device. It is not uploaded anywhere. Deleting the app will remove all stored files.

6. Future Cloud Sync (Phase 3)

A future update will introduce an optional cloud backup feature that syncs your data to your own Google Drive or iCloud account. This will be strictly opt-in. When available, an updated privacy policy will be published before the feature is released. Your data will always sync to your own cloud account — never to our servers.

7. Children's Privacy

StitchTrack does not knowingly collect any information from children. The app contains no user accounts, no data transmission, and no advertising.

8. Data Deletion

To delete all data associated with StitchTrack, simply uninstall the app from your device. All locally stored data — projects, sessions, photos, and patterns — will be permanently removed.

9. Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes in a meaningful way (for example, when cloud sync is introduced), the updated policy will be published at this URL and the "Last updated" date above will be changed.
