隱私權政策
Privacy Policy
KnitNote 的工作資料留在你的裝置上。不需要帳號；作品資料儲存在裝置上。下方分別說明 1.8.0 及後續版本，以及仍安裝 1.7.3 時的資料處理。
繁體中文
KnitNote 是一款在 iPhone、iPad、Apple Watch 與 Mac 上使用的編織工具。如有問題，請寄信至 lzz.1999@icloud.com。
我們不收集的資料
KnitNote 不需要帳號，不會把作品、照片、織圖、毛線資料、筆記、日記或備份傳送到開發者營運的伺服器。
裝置上的資料
作品、計數器、織圖閱讀狀態、筆記、手寫標記、日記、毛線庫與設定儲存在你的裝置上。Apple Watch 透過 Apple 的裝置間通訊與配對 iPhone 同步作品和計數器；開發者不會收到內容。
相機、照片與檔案
只有當你主動拍照時才會要求相機權限。照片、PDF、圖片與備份套件只會在你使用系統選擇器挑選後，為你要求的匯入或還原操作而讀取。
備份與還原
只有當你主動匯出時才會建立外部備份。你選擇儲存位置並自行管理；還原只讀取你明確選擇的 KnitNote 備份套件。
購買與 App Store
購買、付款與商店交易由 Apple 處理。KnitNote 不會收到付款卡號或 Apple 帳號密碼；Apple 處理的資料受其政策規範。
1.8.0 及後續版本：無廣告
KnitNote 1.8.0 及後續版本對所有使用者都不顯示廣告。這些版本不包含 Google Mobile Ads 或 User Messaging Platform SDK，不會發出廣告請求、不會存取 IDFA，也不會要求 Apple 追蹤授權。永久解鎖提供編輯權限；7 天試用、到期後的閱讀權限、既有永久解鎖、符合資格的早期付費權益與回復購買功能不變。
1.8.0：更新查詢與 YouTube 預覽
使用 KnitNote 1.8.0 時，App 可能自動向 Apple 查詢是否有新版本。查詢透過 HTTPS 傳送至 itunes.apple.com/lookup，使用 KnitNote 的 App Store ID 與由 App Store 店面或裝置地區取得的國家代碼；無法取得有效代碼時會使用預設值。這項查詢不包含你的作品內容。
新增 YouTube 連結時選擇讀取預覽資訊，或既有連結的縮圖快取缺失而需重新取得縮圖時，App 會透過系統提供的連結預覽功能，以該影片的標準 HTTPS YouTube 網址（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=影片代碼）取得可用的預覽資料與圖片。已有縮圖快取時會優先使用快取；影片網址本身會用於預覽請求。
處理這些請求的 Apple、YouTube 及提供預覽圖片的服務，可能接收傳送至各自服務的網址、IP 位址等一般連線資訊。這些更新與預覽請求不附加你的作品、照片、匯入織圖、毛線資料、筆記、日記或備份內容。各服務如何使用及保存連線資訊，依其各自的政策辦理。下方裝置資料的保存與刪除說明不適用於這些服務處理的連線資訊。裝置上的內容儲存不代表 App 完全不使用網路。
已安裝的 1.7.3：廣告與隱私選擇
本節僅適用於仍安裝 KnitNote 1.7.3 的使用者。1.8.0 的移除廣告不會回溯撤銷舊版廣告服務已處理的資料；Google 已處理資料的保存與刪除依其政策辦理。
在 1.7.3 中，未購買永久解鎖的使用者可能在 iPhone／iPad 的作品首頁看到 Google AdMob 橫幅廣告。已確認永久解鎖或符合早期付費使用者資格者不顯示廣告。Mac 與 Apple Watch 不顯示廣告。
Google 廣告服務可能處理 IP 位址（可推估大致位置）、裝置識別碼、App 資訊、廣告互動與診斷資料，用於提供廣告、防止詐欺、分析及衡量服務運作。KnitNote 不會將作品、照片、織圖、毛線資料、筆記或日記內容加入廣告請求。App 會在適用時向未購買者詢問 Apple 追蹤授權。允許後，Google 可依適用的隱私同意使用廣告識別碼，提供個人化廣告及衡量廣告成效；拒絕或受到系統限制時，App 不取得 IDFA，並要求非個人化廣告。你可以在 iOS／iPadOS 的「設定」中變更追蹤權限。已確認永久解鎖或符合早期付費資格者不會因廣告而收到追蹤提示。App 持續關閉發佈商第一方 ID。非個人化廣告仍可能處理廣告與診斷資料。
適用時，App 會顯示 Google 的隱私選擇訊息，你可以透過設定中的「廣告隱私選項」調整選擇。廣告無法載入時，App 仍依原有試用與購買權限運作。你也可以從設定主動回報不適當廣告。Google 處理的資料及其保存方式，請參閱 Google 隱私權政策。這些廣告條款不適用於 1.8.0 及後續版本，或未包含廣告的更早版本。
保存、刪除與兒童隱私
資料保留在裝置上，直到你在 App 內刪除、移除 App 或清除裝置資料。外部備份由你自行刪除。上述裝置資料的保存方式不涵蓋 Google 廣告服務處理的資料。
政策變更
更新時會在本頁標示新的生效日期；重大變更會隨 App 更新或支援頁面說明。
English
KnitNote is a knitting tool for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. Questions may be sent to lzz.1999@icloud.com.
Data we do not collect
KnitNote requires no account and does not transmit projects, photos, patterns, yarn details, notes, journals, or backups to a developer-operated server.
Data on your devices
Projects, counters, pattern-reading state, notes, handwritten marks, journals, yarn inventory, and settings are stored on your device. Apple Watch synchronizes project and counter state with its paired iPhone through Apple's device-to-device communication. The developer does not receive this content.
Camera, photos, and files
KnitNote requests camera access only when you choose to take a photo. Photos, PDFs, images, and backup packages are read only after you select them with a system picker and only for the import or restore operation you requested.
Backup and restore
An external backup package is created only when you explicitly export one. You choose its storage location and manage it. Restore reads only the KnitNote backup package you explicitly select.
Purchase and the App Store
Apple processes app purchases, payments, and store transactions. KnitNote does not receive your payment-card number or Apple Account password. Apple's own policies govern data Apple processes.
1.8.0 and later: no advertising
KnitNote 1.8.0 and later is ad-free for everyone. These versions do not include the Google Mobile Ads or User Messaging Platform SDK, make ad requests, or access IDFA. KnitNote 1.8.0 and later does not request Apple tracking permission. Lifetime Unlock provides editing access; the seven-day trial, read-only access after expiry, existing lifetime purchases, eligible legacy paid access, and Restore Purchases remain unchanged.
1.8.0: update checks and YouTube previews
While you use KnitNote 1.8.0, the app may automatically check with Apple for a newer version. The HTTPS lookup at itunes.apple.com/lookup uses KnitNote’s App Store ID and a country code from the App Store storefront or device region, with a default when no valid code is available. This lookup does not include your project content.
When you request preview information for a new YouTube link, or when a saved link’s thumbnail cache is missing and needs to be refreshed, the app uses the system’s link-preview feature to retrieve available preview metadata and images from the video’s canonical HTTPS YouTube URL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=videoID). An existing thumbnail cache is used first; the video URL itself is used in preview requests.
Apple, YouTube and services providing preview images may receive the URLs requested from their respective services, IP addresses and other ordinary connection information. These update and preview requests do not attach your projects, photos, imported patterns, yarn details, notes, journals or backup contents. Each service’s own policies govern its use and retention of connection information. The local-data retention and deletion description below does not apply to connection information processed by these services. Storing content on your device does not mean the app never uses the network.
Installed 1.7.3: advertising and privacy choices
This section applies only to people who still have KnitNote 1.7.3 installed. Removing advertising in 1.8.0 does not undo data processing that already occurred in older versions; Google’s policies govern retention and deletion of data it has already processed.
In 1.7.3, people without lifetime access may see a Google AdMob banner on the iPhone/iPad projects home screen. Verified lifetime purchasers and eligible legacy paid owners do not see ads. Mac and Apple Watch do not display ads.
Google advertising services may process IP addresses (which can estimate general location), device identifiers, app information, advertising interactions and diagnostic data to deliver ads, prevent fraud, perform analytics and measure service operation. KnitNote does not add projects, photos, patterns, yarn details, notes or journals to ad requests. Where applicable, the app asks unpaid users for Apple tracking permission. If allowed, Google may use the advertising identifier, subject to applicable privacy consent, to personalize ads and measure advertising effectiveness. If denied or restricted by the system, the app does not obtain IDFA and requests non-personalized ads. You can change tracking permission in iOS/iPadOS Settings. Verified lifetime purchasers and eligible legacy paid owners are not prompted for advertising tracking. Publisher first-party ID remains disabled. Non-personalized advertising may still process advertising and diagnostic data.
Where applicable, the app presents Google's privacy choices. You can revisit choices through Advertising privacy options in Settings and initiate a report about an inappropriate ad. If ads cannot load, the app continues to follow its existing trial and purchase permissions. For Google's handling and retention of data, see Google's Privacy Policy. These advertising provisions do not apply to 1.8.0 and later or to earlier versions that contain no ads.
Retention, deletion, and children's privacy
Data stays on your device until you delete it in the app, remove the app, or erase device data. You delete exported backups from their chosen location. This retention description covers local project data, not data processed by Google advertising services.
Policy changes
The updated effective date will appear here. Material changes will be described with an app update or on the support site.
