At Chiknal Yarn, your projects, your patterns, and your personal craft history are entirely your own. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the Chiknal Yarn application.
1. Information We Collect
Chiknal Yarn collects no personal data. Everything you create and record inside the app stays exclusively on your device.
We do not require account creation or user registration of any kind
We do not collect personal identifiers such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers
We do not access or track your location
We do not monitor your usage patterns, session frequency, or in-app behavior
We do not gather analytics, telemetry, or any data that leaves your device
Every project card, pattern entry, yarn catalog record, session timer log, hook note, inspiration board item, and achievement within Chiknal Yarn is stored exclusively on your device.
2. How Your Data Is Used
We collect no data — therefore we process none. Every feature within Chiknal Yarn, including project management, built-in row counter, session timing, pattern library, yarn tracking, hook records, inspiration board, and achievement system, operates entirely on-device. No information is transmitted to, processed by, or accessible through any external system at any point during your use of the app.
3. Local Storage
All content you create within Chiknal Yarn is stored locally on your device only.
No project cards, pattern libraries, or yarn catalogs are uploaded to cloud servers
No session history, photos, or personal notes are transmitted over any network
We have no access to your projects, your library, or your craft records
Your cozy archive — every project started, every skein tracked, every hour counted — stays exactly where it belongs: with you.
4. Third-Party Services
Chiknal Yarn does not integrate with any third-party analytics platforms, advertising networks, behavioral tracking tools, or external data services of any kind.
No advertising or retargeting networks
No behavioral analytics or user profiling tools
No data-sharing arrangements with any outside parties
No embedded tracking SDKs or libraries of any kind
Your experience inside Chiknal Yarn is entirely private and self-contained.
5. Data Security
Chiknal Yarn is built as a fully local, offline-first application. Its core functionality requires no external network connections, meaning your craft records and personal data are never exposed to outside systems. We follow responsible development practices to ensure the app remains stable, calm, and consistent with its privacy-first design throughout its lifecycle.
6. Children's Privacy
Chiknal Yarn does not collect personal data from any user, regardless of age. Since no information is gathered, processed, or transmitted externally at any point, the application is fully compliant with children's privacy standards, including those outlined in COPPA. The app is inherently safe and private for users of all ages.
7. Your Rights and Control
You have complete and exclusive control over your data at all times:
Edit or delete individual projects, patterns, yarn entries, and records directly within the app
Clear all stored data through your device's built-in application settings
Remove all content permanently and completely by uninstalling the application
No external accounts, server-side backups, or copies of your data exist at any point
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the application or applicable legal requirements. Any revisions will be published within the app or on its official distribution listing. We encourage you to review this policy from time to time to stay informed.
