Your work stays
with you.

Knitcue stores your knitting projects on your device. Connecting a video is a separate choice.

Privacy policy · Effective October 14, 2026 · App version 1.0

About this policy

This policy describes Knitcue, provided by Favorites (Yeojin Kim), and its support website. It explains local storage, optional YouTube services and support requests.

Your projects and recordings

Projects, row counts, changes, notes, saved references, drawn symbols and personal action markers are processed and stored on your device. Knitcue does not upload them to a Knitcue server. There is no Knitcue account, first-party advertising service or analytics SDK.

If you import a recording, it is copied into the app’s local storage. Knitcue does not upload it to YouTube. You should only import recordings you own or have permission to use.

You choose where an exported JSON backup goes through Apple’s Files interface. That file includes project and reference metadata, not imported movies. Any cloud storage provider you choose has its own terms and privacy policy. Your device’s system backup settings may also apply to app data.

When you connect YouTube

Before connecting, Knitcue asks for your choice. After you connect, it uses the official YouTube Data API to check whether a selected video can be embedded, and the official YouTube player to show it. Those requests send the video identifier and network information to Google/YouTube. They do not send your project notes or imported recordings.

The embedded player can receive your IP address, approximate location inferred from it, browser and device information, temporary identifiers, playback and advertising interactions, and technical diagnostic information. Google uses information to deliver, secure and measure its services and advertisements under its own policy. Knitcue does not control Google’s processing or retention.

The player uses YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode and a temporary web session. YouTube states that views in this mode do not personalize YouTube browsing or ads outside the app, and that ads shown in the embed are non-personalized. This mode does not mean that Google receives no information. The official player API also loads from youtube.com.

Knitcue does not request the device’s advertising identifier, access your YouTube login, or provide a Google sign-in. Videos may show YouTube ads and use cookies or similar technologies within the temporary session. You can disconnect in Settings → Video privacy & terms. Disconnecting stops further in-app video access; it does not delete information Google already received.

Use of YouTube features is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. Read more about YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. Links that open outside Knitcue are subject to the destination’s privacy practices.

Support and this website

If you email us, we receive your email address, your message and any attachments you choose to send. We use them to respond, investigate the issue and maintain relevant support records for as long as needed to handle the request. We do not use support emails for marketing. Avoid sending sensitive or unnecessary personal information.

This website has no analytics script, advertising embed or contact form. Its hosting provider, Vercel, processes network requests and may retain technical access or security logs, such as IP address, requested page and time. See the Vercel Privacy Policy.

Your choices and deletion

You can use local features without connecting YouTube. You can edit or delete your projects, notes and personal demonstrations in the app. A previous-save recovery copy may temporarily retain a deleted local movie until that recovery is replaced.

Deleting the app removes the data and movies stored in its local container. Backups you exported, copies in your chosen storage service, and device backups must be managed separately. Because we do not receive your local project data, we cannot recover it for you.

You may contact us to request access to or deletion of support correspondence we hold about you. Information already held by Google or your chosen storage provider is governed by that provider’s policy and controls.

Age and changes to this policy

Knitcue is intended for users aged 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information through support. Contact us if you believe a child has sent us personal information.

We will update this page when our practices change and revise the effective date. Significant changes will also be explained in the app when appropriate.
