1. Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use the app and website.
Photos and project data
When you choose a photo and create a bead pattern, the app may process information such as the selected image, crop settings, project details, generated pattern data, material counts, and progress information. This workflow is intended to operate locally on your device.
Device and technical information
We or our service providers may collect technical data such as device model, operating system, app version, language, basic diagnostics, and crash information to keep the service stable and improve compatibility.
Advertising-related information
Because Bead Pattern Maker is an ad-supported product, third-party advertising partners may collect information such as advertising ID, device identifiers, IP address, approximate location, ad impressions, and interactions with ads. This information may be used to deliver, limit, personalize, or measure advertisements, subject to the policies of the relevant ad providers.
Contact information
If you contact us by email, we may receive your name, email address, and any other information you choose to include in your message.
2. How We Use Information
We may use collected information to:
- operate, maintain, and improve Bead Pattern Maker;
- generate and save bead pattern projects on the device;
- provide export, support, troubleshooting, and product maintenance;
- display and measure advertisements in an ad-supported experience;
- detect abuse, errors, fraud, or security incidents; and
- comply with legal obligations.
3. Advertising and Third Parties
Bead Pattern Maker is offered as a free, ad-supported service. The app may show advertisements supplied by third-party advertising networks or mediation platforms.
Third-party advertising partners may use their own SDKs, identifiers, cookies, local storage, or similar technologies, depending on platform capabilities, to serve and measure ads. Their collection and use of data are governed by their own privacy policies, not only by this page.
- Ads may not appear in every screen, version, or region.
- We may receive aggregated or campaign-level reports from ad providers.
- We do not require users to create an account in order to use the app.
- If advertising partners change in the future, this policy may be updated to reflect that change.
4. How Information Is Shared
We may share information in the following situations:
- with service providers or advertising partners that help operate, support, or monetize the product;
- when you intentionally export, share, or distribute a generated file or image using device features;
- if required by law, court order, or valid governmental request;
- to protect rights, safety, security, or investigate fraud or abuse; and
- as part of a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
5. Data Retention
Locally stored project data generally remains on your device until you delete it, uninstall the app, or clear the app's storage. Contact emails and support messages may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, keep records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Third-party advertising providers may retain data according to their own policies and legal requirements.
6. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your device settings and local law, you may be able to:
- delete local projects by removing them in the app or uninstalling the app;
- reset or limit your advertising ID through Android or device privacy settings;
- limit ad personalization where supported by your device or region;
- contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of information you sent directly to us by email; and
- stop using the service at any time.
7. Children's Privacy
Bead Pattern Maker is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and address the situation.
8. Security
We use reasonable measures intended to protect information under our control. However, no method of storage, transmission, or electronic processing is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version with a new effective date on this page. Your continued use of the app or website after the revised policy becomes effective means the updated policy will apply.
