Stitrow — Privacy policy

Effective date: 5 November 2026. English is the controlling text.

Developer: PocketFoundry. Contact: [email protected]. Package: com.hpiapp.sewinglog.stitrow.

Stitrow is a sewing log for Android. It records needle hours, fabric setups, and care dates that you type. This policy describes what the app actually does.

No account

The app does not ask you to register or sign in. It does not create an account.

Data stored on your device

Machine names, needle type, size, brand, hour limits, sewing sessions (date, hours, fabric, thread, stitch, tension, result, and notes), care intervals, your language choice, and whether reminders are on are stored in a JSON file in the app’s private storage on your phone. Stitrow does not upload that file to PocketFoundry or any other server. The app does not request internet permission.

CSV export

If you export a CSV, the app writes the file on your device and opens the Android share sheet. The file goes only where you send it. PocketFoundry does not receive a copy.

Notifications

If you turn on the daily due reminder, the app asks for the notification permission and schedules a local, inexact notification about once a day when a needle or care item is due by your own numbers. The reminder is created on the device. No data is sent to a server to deliver it. You can turn the reminder off or deny the permission. Logging still works without it.

Permissions

The only optional permission is notifications. The app does not request location, camera, microphone, contacts, or photos. WorkManager may use a wake lock to run the local reminder. There is no advertising ID.

Ads, analytics, and purchases

This version has no ads, no analytics SDK, and no in-app purchase. It does not use Google Play Billing.

Sharing

The app does not sell or share your records with third parties. The only way a record leaves the phone is if you share the CSV yourself.

Children

Stitrow is not directed at children under 13.

Retention and deletion

Records stay until you delete them in the app or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes the app’s private file. Android backup is turned off for this app, so the file is not copied into cloud backup. Export a CSV first if you want your own copy.

Not advice

Hour limits and care dates are numbers you enter. Stitrow does not tell you which needle to buy and does not decide whether a machine is safe to use.

Changes

If these practices change, this page will be updated and the effective date revised.
