Privacy policy
Change on 10 October 2026: we added Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, which set cookies. See Analytics and cookies for what they record and how to switch them off.
Stitchpaper is operated by Known by One, LLC, 131 Continental Dr, Suite 305, Newark, Delaware 19713, United States ("we"). It is built to collect as little about you as possible.
What we don't collect
- No accounts or sign-ups. Nothing on the site requires registration or an email address.
- Your images and patterns are never sent to us. Photo conversion, editing and PDF generation run inside your browser. Projects are stored in your browser's local storage on your device. We have no server that receives them and no way to see them.
- No advertising. We do not run ads or use analytics data for advertising.
What is stored on your device
Your active pattern, your saved pattern collection and your progress marks are kept in your browser's local storage so they survive a page reload. They stay on your device, are specific to this site and this browser, and are removed if you clear site data. We recommend downloading a project file as a backup; the site cannot recover cleared storage.
Analytics and cookies
Since 10 October 2026 we use two analytics tools to see which pages and tools people use, how they found the site, and where the studio is confusing:
- Google Analytics (Google LLC) records the pages you view, your approximate location (derived from your IP address), your device and browser type, the site that referred you, and events such as scrolling, outbound link clicks and file downloads. It sets cookies named
_gaand_ga_*. Ad storage and ad personalisation are switched off. See Google's privacy policy. - Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation) records how pages are used (clicks, scrolling and pointer movement), which we view as heatmaps and session replays. It cannot capture the contents of the pattern canvas or the photo you load, which exist only in your browser. It sets cookies named
_clckand_clsk, and Microsoft may set its own cookies on clarity.ms. See Microsoft's privacy statement.
Your choice. If your browser is set to a European time zone, neither tool loads until you click Accept on the cookie banner. Elsewhere they load when you arrive. Anyone can change their choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page: Reject deletes the cookies above and stops both tools. Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage.
Hosting
The site is served as static files by a hosting provider, which, like any web host, receives your IP address and standard request headers in order to deliver the page and may keep short-lived server logs for security and reliability. We do not use these logs to identify or profile visitors.
If you email us via the contact page, we keep the message for as long as needed to reply and fix the issue, and do not add you to any list.
Children
The site is a general-audience craft tool and does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children.
Your rights
The analytics data above is linked to a random cookie ID, not to your name or email, so we cannot find a particular visitor's data in it. You can stop it and delete the cookies yourself with Cookie settings. Any email you have sent us we will delete on request. Residents of the EU, UK, California and other jurisdictions with privacy laws have the rights those laws provide; contact us to exercise them.
Changes
Changes will be posted here with a new date. Material changes, such as the introduction of analytics or advertising, will be noted at the top of this page for at least 30 days.
