Learn Sewing privacy policy

Learn Sewing is published by Rstream Labs. This policy explains how we handle information when you use Learn Sewing. Contact us at contact.rstreamlabs@gmail.com about privacy, access, correction or deletion requests.

You can use Learn Sewing without signing in. Optional sign-in lets you keep your learning progress and saved work across devices. We use analytics and reliability services to understand app use and fix problems, and a subscription service to manage purchases. Course videos use YouTube, which handles information under Google's privacy policy.

Information we handle

The app's learning functionality does not request precise location, contacts, microphone recording or health information.

Why we use it and who receives it

We use this information to provide lessons, personalize your learning, sync your saved work, authenticate you, manage subscriptions, secure our services, measure usage and diagnose faults.

We use Google Firebase for authentication, analytics, crash reports, remote app configuration and notification infrastructure, and on Apple devices for performance monitoring. We use RevenueCat for subscription management and related analytics. These services receive the information necessary for their roles, under their applicable service terms and privacy arrangements. Apple and Google also process information for sign-in and store purchases under their own terms.

YouTube handles video-player information under Google's privacy policy. Learn Sewing uses YouTube API/player services; their use is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service. Information handled by YouTube is separate from the account and learning information held by Learn Sewing.

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information where legally required or necessary to protect our services and users. Our service providers may process information in countries other than yours, subject to the safeguards in their applicable agreements.

Your choices

Sign-in, adding photos, purchasing a subscription and enabling reminders are optional. The app supports analytics consent controls for users in the EEA and UK. Reliability and essential service processing are separate from optional analytics consent. You can use the app signed out; services needed for analytics, reliability and subscriptions can still process technical information without a signed-in account.

Deletion and retention

You can request deletion in the app through You > Delete account, or follow the instructions on our Learn Sewing account deletion page. You can also contact us by email. We may need to verify that a request concerns your account before deleting it.

For signed-in users, the app first asks our sync service to delete the account's learning state and saved gallery. It then asks the authentication service to delete the sign-in account and clears app-owned local data. If a step fails, follow the app's retry or reauthentication instructions. An offline request may require reopening the app with an internet connection; do not assume deletion finished until the app confirms it without a remaining account-deletion warning.

For signed-out users, the in-app deletion/reset function clears app-owned local data. This does not by itself remove records previously collected by analytics, crash-reporting, subscription or video services. Contact us for assistance with those records. Uninstalling the app does not delete a signed-in server account.

We retain account and synced learning information while it is needed to provide your account, unless you request deletion. Some information may remain in backups until those backups expire. Service providers apply retention periods appropriate to their services. Purchase/accounting, fraud-prevention, security or legally required records may be retained where necessary; aggregated or deidentified statistics may also remain. We will explain any applicable exception when handling your request.

Deleting your Learn Sewing account does not cancel an Apple or Google subscription. Cancel subscriptions separately in your store subscription settings.

Security and rights

We use encrypted transport for account, sync, subscription and Firebase service requests and restrict access to our systems. No system can guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to processing of your information, withdraw consent, or complain to your data-protection authority. Contact us to exercise these rights.

Age and changes

Learn Sewing's launch audience is adults aged 18 and over. It is not directed at children. Contact us if you believe a child has provided information so we can investigate and handle deletion appropriately.

We will update this policy when our data practices change and show the effective date of the update.
