Stashcraft — Privacy

Last updated 23 October 2026 · Applies to Stashcraft 1.0 and later

In short: Stashcraft keeps your craft data on your device and, if you're signed in to iCloud, in your own private iCloud. There are no Stashcraft accounts and no Stashcraft servers, so we can't see your data. We don't run analytics, we don't use advertising networks, and we don't sell or share your data.

Who we are

Stashcraft is an app for iPhone and iPad made by Krishna Desai ("we", "us"). You can reach us by email: show the address.

What Stashcraft handles

• Your craft data: projects, stash items, patterns, photos, journal entries and notes. It's stored on your device. If you're signed in to iCloud, Apple also keeps a copy in your private iCloud database so it can sync to your other devices. You can turn this off for Stashcraft in iOS Settings. We have no access to either copy.
• No account: Stashcraft never asks for your name, email address or a password, and there's nothing to sign in to.
• Purchases: when you buy Pro, Apple processes the payment. We use RevenueCat to check whether you have Pro. RevenueCat receives a randomly generated anonymous identifier and your App Store purchase history for Stashcraft, not your name or email. We can see purchase totals in RevenueCat's dashboard, but we can't connect them to you. On a new device, use Restore Purchases to bring Pro back.
• Lesson videos: some lessons embed YouTube videos using YouTube's privacy-enhanced player (youtube-nocookie.com). When one of those pages opens, YouTube's servers see your IP address and may set cookies; Stashcraft discards what the player stores when you leave the page. Google's Privacy Policy applies. Stashcraft doesn't send YouTube anything about you or your projects.
• Diagnostics: Stashcraft writes diagnostic logs to your device using Apple's logging system. They stay on your device unless you choose to share them with us when reporting a problem.

What Stashcraft doesn't do

• No Stashcraft accounts or servers. Your data never reaches us.
• No analytics: no usage tracking of our own and no third-party analytics code.
• No advertising networks and no advertising identifier.
• No tracking across other apps or websites.
• No social-media code or tracking pixels.
• No selling or sharing of data with anyone.

Permissions Stashcraft may ask for

• Camera: to take progress photos and scan yarn labels. Photos are saved on your device and, if you use iCloud, in your private iCloud.
• Photo library: to choose an existing photo for a project.
• Add to Photos: only when you choose to save an image, such as a finished project's share card. Stashcraft can add that image but can't see the rest of your library.
• Notifications: only if you turn on a reminder in Settings. All reminders are off by default.

Your choices and rights

• Export your data at any time: Settings → Backup & restore → Create backup. The backup is a plain-text file you can open in any editor.
• Delete all your data at any time: Settings → Your data → Delete All My Data, then type DELETE to confirm. It's erased from your device immediately, and from your private iCloud and other devices as soon as they're online. You can also remove Stashcraft's iCloud data in iOS Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Storage.
• Cancel a subscription at any time in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
• If you live in the EU or EEA, the UK, California or anywhere else with data-protection rights, you can ask us to access, correct or restrict your data by email: show the address. Because we hold almost no data, most requests are answered quickly.

Children

Stashcraft is intended for people aged 13 and older. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you think a child under 13 has used Stashcraft and we hold any of their data, contact us and we'll delete it.

Where your data is stored

Your data is stored on your device and, if you use iCloud, in Apple's iCloud, under Apple's own privacy practices and regional rules. Stashcraft has no servers of its own. If you buy Pro, RevenueCat verifies the purchase, and its servers may be outside your country; see RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, the app will tell you in its What's New screen after the update. The current version is always at dmaulikr.github.io/stash/privacy.
