Last updated: September 13, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Crochet Ideas collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the mobile application.
Data Controller: Bimsoft Studio
Privacy Contact: katarinaris303@gmail.com
The application does not require account registration and does not directly request your name, postal address, phone number, payment information, contacts, or precise GPS location.
The following information may nevertheless be processed by the application, our servers, or integrated third-party services.
When the application connects to our content server, the following information may be transmitted:
Internet Protocol address;
request date and time;
basic device, application, and network information included in standard internet requests;
search terms entered in the application;
identifiers of images or categories you open;
identifiers of images you download;
technical information needed to provide content and prevent misuse.
Search terms are used to return relevant results. Image identifiers are used to retrieve content and maintain aggregate view and download statistics.
Please do not enter personal or sensitive information into the search field.
When advertising is enabled, Google Mobile Ads may automatically collect or receive:
Internet Protocol address, which may be used to estimate general location;
advertising ID, app set ID, and similar device or application identifiers;
advertisement impressions, clicks, views, and other interactions;
application launches and product interactions;
device and operating system information;
diagnostic and performance information;
information used to prevent fraud, abuse, and invalid advertising activity.
Advertising may be personalized where permitted and where the required consent has been provided. If consent is not provided, limited or non-personalized advertisements may still be displayed. Such advertisements may use contextual information, general location, frequency controls, and fraud-prevention information.
Google Analytics for Firebase may automatically process information such as:
application instance or installation identifiers;
device type, operating system, language, and general region;
application version;
application launches, sessions, and screens viewed;
feature usage and other application interactions;
diagnostic and performance information.
We use this information to understand how the application is used, identify technical problems, measure performance, and improve content and functionality.
We do not intentionally send your name, email address, or other directly identifying information to Firebase Analytics.
Google User Messaging Platform may store and communicate your privacy and advertising choices to Google and applicable advertising partners. These choices may be stored locally on your device or associated with consent-related identifiers.
Where required, you can change or withdraw your choice through the privacy options available in the application settings.
The application may store the following information locally:
favorite images;
cached wallpaper and category information;
display, sorting, column, and theme preferences;
advertising and consent preferences;
information required to apply static or animated wallpapers;
application review and display settings.
This information generally remains on your device and is not used to identify you.
Images you choose to download are saved to your device’s picture or media storage. Images you choose to share are provided only to the application or service you select through the Android sharing interface.
On older Android versions, storage permission may be used only when necessary to save an image requested by you.
We process information for the following purposes:
providing images, categories, search results, and wallpaper functionality;
processing user-requested downloads and wallpaper actions;
storing local favorites and preferences;
displaying and measuring advertisements;
providing personalized advertising where consent has been given;
measuring application usage and performance;
improving functionality, content, and user experience;
detecting fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical failures;
complying with applicable legal obligations;
responding to privacy requests and other communications.
Depending on your location and applicable law, processing is based on:
your consent;
the need to provide a service or feature requested by you;
our legitimate interest in operating, securing, analyzing, and improving the application;
compliance with a legal obligation.
Where consent is the legal basis, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
The application uses or may interact with the following third-party services:
Used to provide, personalize, limit, measure, and protect advertising.
Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
How Google uses information from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Google advertising information and controls: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
Used to measure application usage, performance, and engagement.
Firebase privacy information: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
Used to display privacy messages and manage consent choices for advertising and related data processing.
The application may also use hosting and network infrastructure necessary to deliver its images, categories, settings, and other content.
Third-party services process information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations. Their data practices may depend on your device settings, region, consent choices, and the service configuration used by us.
Information may be shared with:
Google, for advertising, analytics, consent management, measurement, and fraud prevention;
hosting and technical service providers that operate the content server;
an application or service you intentionally select when sharing an image;
legal authorities when disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect legal rights, users, or the public;
a successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of the application, subject to applicable legal requirements.
We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.
The use of personalized advertising may be considered “sharing” or processing for cross-context behavioral advertising under certain privacy laws. Where applicable, you may opt out using the privacy controls shown in the application or relevant device and Google advertising settings.
Google and other service providers may process information in countries outside the country in which you live.
Where required by law, international transfers are protected through recognized legal mechanisms, such as adequacy decisions, contractual safeguards, or standard contractual clauses.
Locally stored favorites, settings, and cached information remain on your device until you remove them, clear the application’s data, or uninstall the application.
Downloaded images may remain in your device’s picture or media storage after uninstalling the application. You can remove them manually using your gallery or file manager.
Operational server logs are retained for no longer than 12 months unless a longer period is necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or compliance with law. Search requests and content interaction records may be converted into aggregate statistics that no longer identify a device or individual.
Advertising and analytics information is retained according to the settings and retention rules of the applicable Google service. We periodically review the information we control and delete or anonymize it when it is no longer needed for the purposes described in this Policy.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information.
Network communications with our server and Google services use encrypted HTTPS or TLS connections where supported. Information stored locally is protected by Android’s application security and storage controls.
No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
request access to personal information associated with you;
request correction or deletion;
restrict or object to certain processing;
receive eligible information in a portable format;
withdraw consent;
object to direct marketing;
opt out of the sale, sharing, or use of information for targeted advertising;
limit certain uses of sensitive personal information;
lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority;
exercise your rights without discrimination.
The application does not create user accounts. Local information can generally be removed by deleting favorites, clearing application data, or uninstalling the application.
Privacy requests concerning information handled by us may be submitted using the privacy contact listed above. Because the application does not require an account, we may need sufficient technical information to identify any data connected with a request. In some cases, we may be unable to associate server or aggregated information with a particular person.
We will respond within the period required by applicable law.
The application is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If we learn that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information may submit a request using the privacy contact listed above.
The application may contain advertisements or links to third-party websites, applications, or services.
We do not control the content, security, or privacy practices of third parties. Information you provide directly to a third party is governed by that third party’s privacy policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy when application features, third-party services, legal requirements, or data practices change.
The updated version will be identified by a new “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated through the application or another appropriate notice.
Continued use after an update means that the new version applies from its effective date, except where additional consent is required by law.
