Privacy Policy for NeedleTracker

Last Updated: January 7, 2026

Introduction

NeedleTracker ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application handles your information.

Information Collection and Use

NeedleTracker does not directly collect, store, or transmit any personal information to our servers. However, this app displays advertisements using Google AdMob, which may collect certain information as described below.

Advertising

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements in the app. AdMob may collect and use certain information including:

Device information (device type, operating system)
Ad interaction data
Approximate location (based on IP address)
Advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS)

This information is used to provide personalized advertisements. For more information about how Google uses data, please see Google's Privacy Policy.

Data Storage

All data you create in NeedleTracker (including projects, threads, photos, and notes) is stored:

Locally on your device - Your data stays on your iPhone or iPad
In your personal iCloud account (if you enable iCloud sync) - Your data syncs between your devices using Apple's iCloud service

We do not have access to your iCloud data. Apple's privacy policy governs how iCloud handles your data.

Photos

When you choose to add photos to your projects, these photos are:

Stored only on your device and in your personal iCloud account
Never uploaded to our servers
Never shared with third parties
Only accessible to you through the app

iCloud Sync

If you enable iCloud sync, your project data synchronizes across your devices using your personal iCloud account. This sync is handled entirely by Apple's iCloud service. We do not have access to your iCloud data.

Third-Party Services

NeedleTracker integrates with Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and process data as described in their privacy policy. We do not use any analytics or other tracking services.

Children's Privacy

Our app does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Data Security

Since all your data is stored locally on your device or in your personal iCloud account, the security of your data is managed by iOS and iCloud security features.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect your data, you have complete control over your information:

Delete the app to remove all local data
Manage your iCloud data through iOS Settings
No need to request data deletion from us (we don't have it)

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
