Privacy policy

Last updated: December 5, 2025

We respect your privacy. This policy explains how the app and our website handle your information.

1. The App (iOS & Android)

The app works entirely offline for normal use. We do not collect, store, or share any personal data.

Anything you add to the app (such as PDF files) stays only on your device.

The app may access the internet only when you choose to open external links, such as:

  • Opening support pages
  • Opening the App Store or Google Play to rate or view the app
  • Opening other websites from links you choose inside the app (for example, links you add to your patterns)

We do not track or record these actions.

External Links

The app may open links from third-party websites (including support pages, App Store or Google Play pages, online tutorials, or links added by users to their patterns). We do not control these websites and we are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices. You should review the terms and privacy policies of any external websites you visit.

2. The Website (Shopify)

Our website is hosted on Shopify, which provides the platform for our newsletter sign-up and contact form.

Email Newsletter

If you sign up, we collect your email address. It is stored securely in Shopify and used only to send updates.

Contact Form

If you contact us, we receive only the information you choose to send:

  • Email address
  • Name (optional)
  • Message

We use this only to respond to you.

Shopify Cookies & Analytics

Shopify automatically uses cookies and basic analytics to operate the website. These may include:

  • Device and browser information
  • Usage data
  • Cookies needed for the website to function

We do not use these for advertising, personalization, or tracking outside Shopify’s basic operations.

For details on Shopify’s cookies, see:

We do not collect or store this information ourselves.

3. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect information from children.

4. Your Data Stays Yours

In the app, everything stays on your device. On the website, we only collect the email you voluntarily submit.

We never sell, trade, or share your data.

5. International Users (GDPR and Similar Laws)

If you live in a region with data-protection laws (such as the EU/EEA or UK), you may:

  • Request access to the information you submitted
  • Ask for correction or deletion
  • Withdraw your newsletter consent at any time

To make a request, contact us at hello@sewsy.ca. We will respond promptly.

Our legal bases for processing this information are:

  • Consent (newsletter)
  • Legitimate interest (responding to contact messages)

6. Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, we will change the date above.
