ThreadyWeddy: Cross-Stitch is built as an entirely on-device application. It does not collect, store on our side, transmit, or share any personal information whatsoever. There is no sign-up, no profile, no server behind the app. This policy explains, in plain language, exactly what that means for the charts, photographs, floss inventories and counters you keep inside it.
01 Information We Collect
We collect nothing. The app asks for no name, no email address, no phone number, no username or password, no location, no device identifier and no advertising ID. There are no analytics events, no crash telemetry sent to us, and no hidden background reporting.
Everything you create — WIP project cards, stitch counts, progress markers, floss stash entries, thread conversions, fabric calculations, stitching goals, diary notes, camera photos of patterns and progress shots of your work — is written only to the storage of the device you are using and stays there.
02 How We Use Information
Because nothing is gathered, there is nothing for us to use. We do not read, profile, analyse, mine, aggregate, rent, sell or trade your content, and we do not build any behavioural picture of how you stitch.
Every function of the app — the camera grid overlay, the stitch counter, the DMC, Anchor and Madeira calculators, the Aida and linen sizing tools, the completion-date forecasts and the speed tracker — runs locally with your device's own processor. Nothing is sent anywhere to make those features work.
03 Data Storage
All app data is held in local storage on your device, inside the app's own sandbox. We operate no cloud service, no database and no synchronisation layer for user content, so there is no copy of your work on any server we control.
Photographs deserve a specific note: images you capture of paper charts, canvas fabric or your stitching in progress are processed on the device to draw the interactive grid, and are saved on the device only. They are never uploaded, never mirrored and never queued for transfer.
04 Third-Party Services
ThreadyWeddy does not embed third-party analytics platforms, advertising networks, attribution or tracking SDKs, social login providers, or crash-reporting services that transmit user content. No third party receives your inventory, your photographs, your notes or your usage patterns, because nothing is transmitted in the first place.
05 Data Security
The strongest protection we can offer is architectural: data that never travels cannot be intercepted, and data we never hold cannot be breached on our side. Your content is confined to your device and protected by that device's own operating-system safeguards, including the lock screen, user account separation and app sandboxing.
We recommend keeping your device software current and a screen lock enabled, since physical access to an unlocked device is the only realistic route to the information stored in the app.
06 Children's Privacy
The app is safe for crafters of every age, including young stitchers learning their first sampler. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, and that includes children under the age of 13 — consistent with the principles of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Since no information is collected from any user, there is no children's data for a parent or guardian to review, correct or ask us to delete.
07 Your Control
You hold complete control over everything in the app. Individual projects, photos, diary entries and stash records can be edited or removed inside ThreadyWeddy at any moment, and removing the app from your device permanently erases all of the data it holds.
Because we keep no accounts and run no cloud backups, deletion is final and there is no remote copy for you to chase, no export request to file and no support ticket needed to be forgotten.
08 Changes to This Policy
If the app gains new features, this policy may be revised so it continues to describe the app accurately, and the Effective Date at the top will be updated when that happens. Any revision will be published within the app and on this page.
Our no-collection commitment is the foundation of the product; should that ever change in any way, we would say so clearly and prominently rather than quietly amending the small print.
