Knit Numbers
Privacy Policy

Introduction

Knit Numbers is a privacy-focused knitting app for tracking projects and counting rows on Android and iOS. The app stores all data locally on your device and is committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining transparency about how your information is handled.

Data Collection and Storage

• Local Storage Only: All knitting projects, photos, and app preferences are stored locally on your device.
• No Cloud Storage (by default): Knit Numbers does not upload, transmit, or back up your data to external servers. All information remains local unless you choose to enable future optional features—such as cloud backup or in-app shopping—which will require your explicit consent.
• No Data Collection (without consent): Knit Numbers does not collect, track, or analyze personal information. If future features (e.g., account creation, cloud sync, or shopping) require limited data handling, we will request clear opt-in permission before any data is shared or stored beyond your device.

Camera and Photo Access

The app requests camera and photo-library permissions only to support your knitting projects.

• Take Photos: Capture progress photos for specific projects.
• Select Photos: Choose existing images from your device’s photo library.
• Local Storage (by default): All photos remain stored locally on your device and are never uploaded or shared without your permission.
• User Control: The camera and photo library are accessed only when you choose to add a photo within the app.

We never record video, access photos without consent, or use the camera for any unrelated purpose.

Future Features

In upcoming versions, Knit Numbers may introduce optional social or community features that let you share selected photos or project details with other users. Participation will be entirely opt-in and will require explicit permission before any data leaves your device. You will always decide what is shared, when, and with whom.

What the App Stores Locally

Project Data (only what you create)

• Project names
• Counter values and timer seconds
• Color and completion status
• Creation and modification dates
• Optional: photos, yarn info, and notes

App Preferences

• Theme (light or dark)
• Counter starting value (0 or 1)
• Auto-start timer setting
• Sound and vibration preferences

Security & Protection

• Device Encryption: Your data benefits from Android File Encryption and iOS Data Protection.
• No Network Transmission: Your knitting data never leaves your device unless you opt in to a future feature that requires it.
• Platform Standards: The app follows Android and iOS security best practices.
• Regular Updates: We maintain security through ongoing updates.

Third-Party Services

• No Analytics or Tracking Tools: Knit Numbers does not use third-party analytics, advertising, or behavioral tracking services.
• No Advertising or Ad Networks: The app contains no ads and does not share data for advertising purposes.
• No Social-Media Integrations (by default): Knit Numbers does not connect directly to external social platforms or user accounts.
• Basic Sharing Functions: The app supports simple sharing through your device’s native options—such as text messaging, email, or copying project details. These actions occur entirely on your device and only when you choose to share; Knit Numbers never transmits this data on your behalf.
• Future Sharing Options: Future versions may introduce optional integrations for posting or sharing with other platforms or communities. Any such feature will be opt-in only and will require your explicit consent before any information leaves your device.

Platform Services

Knit Numbers relies solely on the essential services required by Google Play and the Apple App Store to operate and distribute the app—such as payment processing, crash reporting, and store verification. These platform-level services may collect limited technical data as part of their standard operation, and their use is governed by Google’s and Apple’s respective privacy policies.

Future Integrations

If Knit Numbers adds optional integrations (e.g., cloud storage, account creation, or community sharing), you will receive advance notice and the ability to opt in explicitly before any data is shared beyond your device.

Children’s Privacy

Knit Numbers is not intended for children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your Rights

You may at any time:

• View or delete your data within the app
• Remove photos or projects individually
• Uninstall the app to delete all stored data
• Contact us with any privacy concerns

Data Retention

• Local Data Only: Information remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app.
• Secure Storage: Uses Android’s app-private storage and iOS’s sandbox environment for isolation.
• No Server Backups: Knit Numbers does not maintain external backups of your data.
• User Responsibility: You may back up your own data through your device if desired.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will appear in the app and on our website, and the “Last Updated” date above will reflect the latest version.
