Three separate things are described on this page, and they are kept separate on purpose: the app, which collects nothing; an email you may choose to send us, which we then have; and this website, which is served by a host that keeps ordinary web server records.
LaceLoad is not on the App Store yet. This page will be kept accurate for the version that ships.
The short version
- The app collects nothing. There is no sign-in, no profile and no identifier collected by it.
- Your projects are stored on your device and the app does not upload them to us.
- Device backups, such as iCloud Backup or a computer backup, may include them, under Apple's terms rather than ours.
- A setup card or backup file you export leaves the device through the destination you choose. It does not come to us.
- Deleting the app removes its local data. Files you already exported and existing device backups may remain.
- No analytics, no crash reporting service, no third-party SDK, no advertising and no tracking, in the app or on this site.
- The app asks for no permissions: no camera, no photo library, no microphone, no location, no contacts and no notifications.
1. The app, and what it stores on your iPhone
Everything you enter stays in the app's own storage on your device: project names, the pattern or source reference and notes you write, the unit you prefer, your thread names and colour labels, your starting pins and their labels, every pair group with its role, its pair count and its length values, and which individual pairs you have marked as wound.
That storage is part of the app, so a device backup can include it, and deleting the app removes the copy it stored on that device. We have no copy and no way to reach it.
Creating a project, saving it, working through the winding checklist, exporting a setup card and making a backup file all work with no connection at all. The app contains no analytics and there is no server of ours for your data to go to.
Exporting a setup card or a backup
LaceLoad can produce a PDF setup card and a backup file of your library. This only happens when you ask for it.
The file is handed to the standard iPhone share sheet or file picker, and you choose what happens next: save it to Files, print it, email it, or send it to someone. From that point it is wherever you sent it, handled under the terms of whatever service or app you chose. Nothing is sent automatically, nothing is sent in the background, and none of it comes to us.
Restoring a backup
Restoring reads a file you choose, from wherever you choose it, on your device. Nothing is fetched from us and nothing is sent to us. The file is checked and shown to you before your current library is replaced.
2. Email you choose to send us
If you write to support@codedrealities.com we have your message and your email address, because that is how email works. We use support correspondence to answer the request it is about, and for nothing else. We do not add you to a mailing list and we do not use it for advertising.
If you send us a file to help with a problem, such as a library file the app could not open, we then have that file. We use it to look at the problem and nothing else. You decide whether to send it; the app never sends anything on its own.
This is entirely optional and entirely started by you. Nothing in the app sends us a message, and the app works completely without ever contacting us.
The statements above about the app collecting nothing describe the app itself. They do not describe a message you decide to send us. Contact us at the same address about access to, or deletion of, support correspondence.
3. This website
These pages are static files. There is no JavaScript anywhere on this site, no cookie, no analytics, no tracking pixel, no embedded font, no image file and no third-party page asset or analytics request. The only external link on the whole site is to Apple's refund page, on the support page, and it is a link: it loads nothing until you follow it.
The site is served by Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, it processes standard web server request data, such as your IP address and the page you asked for, in order to deliver that page and keep the service running. That is ordinary hosting, not something we set up to learn about you: we do not use it to build any profile, we run no analytics on it, and we do not combine it with anything else.
Reading this website is separate from using the app. The app does not open these pages, does not check this site, and works with the connection turned off.
Children
LaceLoad is a tool for someone preparing to make bobbin lace. It collects nothing from anybody, of any age.
Deleting your data
Deleting the app removes the data it stored on that device. Two things are not covered by that: a card or backup file you already exported stays wherever you sent it, and an existing device backup may still contain your projects until that backup is replaced or removed.
For support correspondence, contact us about access or deletion.
Changes
If a future version of the app changes what it stores or where it goes, this page changes with it and the date below changes too. The App Store privacy information for the app is kept in step with this page.
Contact
Coded Realities LLC. support@codedrealities.com is the only contact address for this app.
