Privacy Policy

🔒 Privacy-First Commitment

• No tracking: We don't track your behavior or usage patterns.
• Minimal data collection: We don't collect personal information.
• Local storage primarily: Your stash, patterns, and progress stay on your device.
• No third-party sharing: We never share data with advertisers or analytics companies.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Woolsy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

Woolsy is designed with privacy as a core principle. Unlike most apps, we collect virtually no personal data. Almost everything you do inside the app stays on your device.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 What We DON'T Collect

• We don't collect your name, email address, phone number, or any personal identifiers.
• We don't collect your location data.
• We don't use aggressive analytics or tracking tools.
• We don't collect your device's contacts or photos.
• We don't monitor your screen time or app usage patterns.

2.2 What We DO Store Locally

The vast majority of your data is stored locally on your device only:

• Stash Data: Your inventory of yarn, hooks, and needles.
• Patterns: The PDFs you import and your generated smart patterns.
• Progress: Your current row counts and project status.
• Subscription Status: Whether you have an active premium subscription.

This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.

2.3 What We Store Securely (Cloud)

The only information we may store on our secure databases (via Supabase) are basic, anonymous answers you provide during the initial onboarding questionnaire to help customize your app experience. This data is not tied to your personal identity.

3. How We Use Information

The minimal information stored locally on your device is used solely for:

• Making the app function as intended (managing stash, maintaining smart patterns, and tracking rows).
• Managing your subscription status (through Apple's payment systems).

We do not use your information for advertising, analytics, marketing, or any other purpose.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Local Storage Primarily

All app data (patterns and stash) is stored locally on your device using secure system-provided storage mechanisms. This data is:

• Protected by your device's security features.
• Automatically deleted when you uninstall the app.

4.2 Security

For the anonymous onboarding data we sync securely to the cloud, the app uses secure coding practices. All data stored on your device is protected by iOS security features. The app does not create network connections except for subscription validation, fetching standard tutorial videos, and securely saving basic onboarding preferences to Supabase.

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Apple App Store

When you download Woolsy, you interact with Apple's App Store. Apple has its own privacy policy. Subscription purchases are processed by Apple. We never see or store your payment information. When you subscribe:

• Apple processes the payment.
• Apple confirms your subscription status to the app (via RevenueCat).
• We receive only a confirmation that you have an active subscription (no personal or payment details).

5.3 No Analytics or Tracking Services

We do not use any third-party analytics, crash reporting, or tracking services. This means:

• No Google Analytics
• No Firebase Analytics
• No advertising networks
• No behavioral tracking of any kind

6. Your Rights and Choices

6.1 Access Your Data

Since almost all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete access to it at all times. You can view and modify your patterns and stash within the app.

6.2 Delete Your Data

To delete all your app data, simply uninstall the Woolsy app from your device. All local data will be permanently deleted.

6.3 Opt-Out

Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to opt out of. Simply uninstall the app if you no longer wish to use it.

7. Children's Privacy

Woolsy is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Since we don't collect any personal data from any users, we also don't collect data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 is using the app, you can simply delete it from their device.

8. International Users

Woolsy is available worldwide. Since main data stays on your device and the anonymous onboarding data we retain does not hold internationally sensitive personal identification records, there are no cross-border data transfer concerns.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and notify you through the app. Your continued use of Woolsy after changes are made constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

10. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for processing the minimal local data is:

• Contractual Necessity: The local storage of settings and patterns is necessary to provide the app's functionality.
• Legitimate Interest: Remembering your stash improves your user experience.

Since we don't collect or process personal data in any meaningful way, GDPR concerns are minimal.

11. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

California residents have specific privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, since Woolsy does not collect, sell, or share personal information, most CCPA provisions do not apply. We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information. We do not collect personal information beyond what's stored locally on your device.

12. Data Retention

We don't retain any personal data on our servers because we don't collect any data. Local data on your device is retained until you uninstall the app or delete the data through your device settings.

14. Your Trust Matters
