Stitch in Hand privacy policy
Updated November 8, 2026
Stitch in Hand does not collect, send or share any personal data. Your projects, patterns, photos and orders stay on your device and, if you choose, in your own iCloud.
What stays on your device
- Projects, counters, timers, patterns (the PDFs and photos you import), yarns, pieces, prices and orders (the client name and phone you type) are stored on your device.
- If you turn on iCloud sync (Pro), this data is also kept in your private iCloud database, in your Apple Account, so it appears on your other devices. We have no access to it.
- Pattern text is read on the device itself, with Apple's text recognition; the image is never sent to any server.
- Apple Watch gets the current project directly from your iPhone. Reminders and Lock Screen counting are created on the device, with no server.
- A card or message only leaves the device when you tap to share it or to open WhatsApp and tap send.
What the app does not do
- No account, sign-in or registration.
- No servers of our own, ads, tracking or usage statistics.
- It only uses the camera when you tap to photograph a pattern or a piece; photos and PDFs are picked by you in the system pickers, with no access to your whole library.
- When you pick a client from Contacts, it only reads the contact you choose.
- It does not use the microphone or location. Siri requests are handled by Apple; the app only receives the action asked for, like "one more row".
- It does not send your patterns, photos, prices or your clients' details to any service.
Purchases
Pro subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are sold and processed by Apple through the App Store. We never receive your payment details; the app only asks Apple whether Pro is active.
Children
Because no data is collected, people of any age can use Stitch in Hand without any information being gathered.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with the updated date.
