Privacy Policy

At Stitchpatt, your privacy is a top priority. We believe in providing a powerful tool for creativity without compromising your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we do and do not collect, and how we handle any data.

Your Photos Stay Private

This is the most important thing to know about Stitchpatt: your photos are never uploaded to our servers. When you use Stitchpatt to turn a photo into a craft pattern, all the processing happens directly inside your web browser on your own device. This means your images remain completely private to you. We never see them, store them, or have access to them.

What Information We Do Not Collect

We are committed to a privacy-first approach. Because of how Stitchpatt is designed, we do not collect, store, or process many types of personal information that other websites might:

  • No User Accounts: You don't need to sign up or create an account to use Stitchpatt. There are no usernames, passwords, or email addresses collected.
  • No Databases: We do not maintain any databases of user information or activity.
  • No Payments: Stitchpatt is a free service. We do not process any payments or collect any financial information.
  • No Comments or User-Generated Content Storage: There are no comment sections or features that would require us to store content generated by visitors.
  • No Analytics or Tracking Cookies: Our site code does not use any analytics services, advertising cookies, or tracking technologies to monitor your browsing behavior across the internet or on Stitchpatt.

Local Storage for Your Convenience

The only information Stitchpatt remembers is your preference for a light or dark theme. This choice is stored in your browser's local storage, which is a small piece of data saved directly on your own device. This information is solely for your convenience and is never sent to our servers or used for any other purpose.

Optional AI Image Feature

On our craft-specific pages, you might see an optional 'AI image' feature. If you choose to use this, you will type a text description, which is then sent to a third-party AI image generation service. This service generates a picture based on your text, which then becomes the 'photo' for your pattern. Please note:

  • Your text description is sent to the AI image service. This is necessary for the service to generate an image.
  • This feature uses Stitchpatt's owner's AI credits. You are not charged for its use.
  • This is entirely optional. You can always upload your own photo instead.

We do not store your text descriptions or the generated images after they are used in your browser.

Third-Party Links

Stitchpatt may contain links to other websites or resources that are not operated by us. For example, our blog articles might link to external crafting resources. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Children's Privacy

Stitchpatt is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address the situation.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the 'Effective Date' at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
