Hankrow — Patakaran sa privacy

Effective date: 8 November 2026. English is the controlling text.

Developer: PocketFoundry. Contact: [email protected]. Package: com.hpiapp.rowcounter.hankrow.

Hankrow is a knitting and crochet row counter for Android. You tap rows, name sections, and keep a session timer. This policy describes what this version of the app actually does.

No account

Hankrow does not ask you to register or sign in. PocketFoundry does not keep a Hankrow profile on a server.

Data stored on your device

Project names, whether a project is knitting or crochet, up to 8 section names, row counts from 0 to 99999, optional targets, a needle or hook note, a yarn note, a repeat note, a sample flag, timer time, up to 200 row changes, your in-app language, reminder hour and minute, and whether the one-time unlock is recorded on this phone are stored in a JSON file in the app’s private storage. Hankrow does not upload that file. Android backup is turned off, so the file is not copied into cloud backup.

Purchase

An optional one-time Google Play product, hankrow_more_projects, raises the limit from 2 projects you created to 24 projects and unlocks CSV export. It is not a subscription. Hankrow uses Google Play Billing to ask whether the product is owned and to show the price Play returns. The app does not receive your card number. The sample project does not count toward the free limit.

CSV export

After that purchase, export writes a file on your device and opens the Android share sheet. The file goes only where you send it. Column headers are English. PocketFoundry does not receive a copy.

Notifications

If you turn on the daily reminder, the app asks for notification permission and schedules a local notification around the hour and minute you chose. The exact minute is not guaranteed. The reminder is created on the device. It does not send the projects to a server. You can turn reminders off or deny the permission. Counting still works without it. The WorkManager library used for that schedule also declares a wake lock, network-state access, boot completion, and a foreground-service capability. Hankrow does not run its own ongoing foreground task and does not upload data to deliver the reminder.

Permissions and network

The app declares Internet because Google Play Billing uses it. It may request notifications, as described above. It does not request location, camera, microphone, contacts, or photos. There is no advertising ID. There are no ads and no analytics SDK.

Sharing

The app does not sell your projects. The only way a record leaves the phone is if you share the CSV yourself, or if Google Play processes the optional purchase. PocketFoundry does not operate a server that receives the projects.

Children

Hankrow is not directed at children under 13.

Retention and deletion

Projects stay until you delete them in the app or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes the private file. Removing the sample deletes only the sample project. A new phone does not receive the old file.

What this app does not do

Hankrow does not read a pattern, open a PDF, mark a chart, or follow a repeat for you. A repeat note is text you typed.

Changes

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