The short version

KnitDot collects no data. Everything you make in the app stays on your iPhone. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. We never see your projects, your patterns or your notes, and the app never sends them anywhere.

This policy applies to the KnitDot app for iPhone and its home screen widget.

What the app keeps on your iPhone

KnitDot saves your work in its own storage on your device, so the app and its widget can show it. Nothing in this list leaves your iPhone.

• Projects and pieces. Project names, piece names, row counts, the order of pieces, and the dates you created and last changed them.
• Patterns. A PDF you add is copied into the app's storage. Lines you draw on it are saved into that copy. A pattern website address is saved as text.
• Notes and history. The notes you write and the record of your counting sittings, with the timer.
• Settings. Appearance, counter sounds, your app icon choice, the sort order, and the name you give the app for its greeting. The name is optional.

Your data is part of your normal iPhone backup if you have iCloud Backup or a computer backup switched on. Apple handles that backup under its own privacy policy. KnitDot does not use iCloud itself.

What the app does not do

• It does not ask you to make an account or sign in.
• It does not collect analytics or usage statistics.
• It does not show advertising.
• It does not track you, across apps or websites.
• It does not use any third-party software development kit. The app is built only with Apple's own frameworks.
• It does not send your projects, patterns, notes or settings to us or to anyone else.

The app's own code makes no network connection. The one exception is a pattern website you choose to open, described below.

What the app uses on your iPhone

• Files you pick. When you add a PDF pattern, the app opens only the file you choose and copies it into its own storage. It does not look at any other file.
