Bodkin Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2026

Bodkin is a needlepoint app for iPhone and iPad. It has no accounts and doesn’t collect, track, or sell your data.

What stays on your device

Your projects, stash, and settings are stored on your iPhone or iPad only. Your projects also show up in the Files app so you can back them up, and they’re included in your device’s iCloud or computer backup, like other app data. A canvas you share leaves your device only where you send it.
Photos or chart images you choose to convert are processed on your device and are never uploaded. Bodkin only sees the pictures you pick.
When you choose Save on a finished piece or a stitch replay, Bodkin asks permission to add it to your Photos library. It can add to Photos but can’t read your library.

Nothing. The developer receives no analytics, crash reports, or personal information from the app. There are no ads.

Purchases: the optional Bodkin Pro and Stitch Pack are one-time purchases made through Apple. Apple handles payment; we never see your payment details.
Shopping links: the shopping list opens Amazon in your browser. Amazon’s own privacy policy applies once you leave the app.

Bodkin doesn’t knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date.
