Rowbook
Privacy policy
Last updated November 7, 2026
Rowbook is made by Daily Apps Lab. This policy covers the Rowbook app on iPhone, iPad and Android: what it collects, why, and how you can delete it.
The short version
- Rowbook works fully offline. You don't need an account.
- Your patterns are private. We never share them, sell them or use them to train AI.
- No ads and no ad tracking.
- Photos of patterns and yarn labels are turned into text on your device.
- If you sign in to sync, you can delete your account and synced data from inside the app.
Data that stays on your device
Unless you sign in, everything you add stays on your phone or tablet: patterns, files, photos, web pages you save, projects, counters, notes, yarn stash and settings. We can't see any of it.
- Camera and photos: used only when you take or choose a photo of a pattern, a yarn label or a project. Reading the text in a photo happens on your device.
- Microphone and speech recognition: used only when you turn on voice counting, to hear "next" and "back". Where your device supports it, recognition runs on the device; otherwise your phone's built-in Apple or Google speech service handles it under their privacy policies. Rowbook does not record or keep audio.
- Web links: when you save a pattern from a link, your device downloads that page and keeps a private copy for you.
Data we hold if you sign in
Signing in is optional and is used only to sync between your devices.
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address (and password, if you set one) | To create your account and sign you in. Passwords are stored hashed, never in plain text. |
| Your patterns, files, photos, projects, counters, notes and stash | To keep your devices in step. Stored privately under your account; no other user can see them. |
We don't use your content for anything else: no profiling, no advertising, no AI training.
Purchases
Rowbook Pro is bought through Apple's App Store or Google Play. They handle your payment, and we never see your card details. We receive only what's needed to unlock Pro on your account, such as the product, purchase date and subscription status.
Service providers
We use a small number of providers who process data only on our behalf:
- Supabase: sign-in and cloud storage for synced data.
- Superwall: shows the upgrade screen and checks purchase status. It receives basic device and app information (such as device type, app version and anonymous IDs) and purchase events.
- Apple and Google: app distribution, payments, and the device's own speech and text recognition features.
We do not sell or rent personal data, and we don't share it with advertisers or data brokers.
How long we keep data
- Items you delete in the app wait 30 days in Recently deleted, then they are erased.
- Synced data is kept while your account exists.
- When you delete your account, your sign-in is blocked at once and your synced data and files are erased from our servers within a few hours.
- Support emails are kept only as long as needed to help you.
Your choices and rights
- Export: Settings, Backup lets you export your data at any time, free.
- Delete your account: Settings, Account, Delete account. Or email us and we'll do it for you.
- Delete local data: remove the app from your device.
- Permissions: you can turn off camera, photo, microphone and speech access in your device settings at any time. The rest of the app keeps working.
Depending on where you live (for example the UK, the EU or California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or move your personal data, or to object to how it's used. Email us and we will respond within 30 days. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Security
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and each account's data is locked so only that account can read it. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep what we hold to the minimum.
Children
Rowbook is a general hobby app and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Our providers may store data in other countries. Where required, they use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above. For important changes, we'll also tell you in the app.
