Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 27, 2026

We value your privacy and respect your right to protect your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile application “Knitting Patterns” (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information.

1. Information We Collect

The App is designed to minimise the collection of personal information. Depending on how you use the App, we may collect or process the following categories of information:

• Account information: your email address or other account identifier if you create or sign in to an account.
• App activity: saved knitting patterns, favourites, reading progress, recently viewed content, preferences, and other actions performed within the App.
• Device and technical information: device type, operating system, app version, language, country or general region, diagnostics, crash data, and technical identifiers.
• Purchase information: information about your subscription or purchase status. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.
• Usage and analytics information: information about how the App is opened and used, including viewed screens, selected features, and interactions with App content.

2. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

• provide and maintain the App;
• save favourites, patterns, preferences, and progress;
• provide account synchronisation where available;
• enable premium features and verify subscription status;
• improve the App, its content, and user experience;
• identify and fix crashes, errors, and technical issues;
• analyse general App usage and feature performance;
• provide customer support;
• protect the App against fraud, abuse, and unauthorised access;
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

3. Account and Data Deletion

You can delete your account and the information associated with it directly within the App:

1. Open the Knitting Patterns App.
2. Open your profile using the button in the top-right corner.
3. Select “Delete Profile”.
4. Confirm the deletion request.

After confirmation, your account and the information associated with it will be permanently deleted, except where limited retention is required for security, fraud prevention, accounting, dispute resolution, or compliance with applicable law.

You may also request account or data deletion by contacting us at support@dostich.com.

4. Purchases and Subscriptions

Purchases and subscriptions are processed by the applicable app marketplace, such as Google Play. Payment information is handled directly by the marketplace under its own privacy policy and terms.

We do not collect or store full payment card numbers, bank account details, or marketplace account passwords.

We may receive limited information required to verify a purchase or subscription, such as product identifier, subscription status, purchase date, expiration date, and transaction identifier.

5. Third-Party Services

The App may use third-party services that help us provide App functionality, process purchases, analyse usage, deliver notifications, and diagnose technical problems.

These services may process device information, technical identifiers, app activity, diagnostics, purchase status, or general location information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Third-party services used by the App may include:

• Google Play Services;
• Google Play Billing;
• Firebase Analytics;
• Firebase Crashlytics;
• Firebase Cloud Messaging;
• other hosting, analytics, subscription, or technical service providers.

The exact services used may vary depending on the App version, operating system, region, and enabled functionality.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited information with service providers only when necessary to operate, support, secure, and improve the App. We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or a valid request from a competent authority.

7. Data Storage and Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or misuse.

However, no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as necessary to provide the App, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Some information may be stored locally on your device and can be removed by clearing the App’s data or uninstalling the App.

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the minimum age required to consent to data processing in their country. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without the required consent.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

10. International Data Processing

Information may be processed or stored in countries other than your country of residence. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of the processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to object to certain processing or request a copy of your information.

To submit a privacy request, contact us at support@dostich.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing your request.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, third-party services, legal requirements, or our data-processing practices.

The updated version will be published on this page, and the “Last updated” date will be changed accordingly. We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically.
