Privacy Policy
Last updated September 30, 2026
The short version
The One Row app doesn't collect your personal information. There's no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your blankets, photos and yarn stay on your iPhone, with a backup in your own iCloud that only you can see.
The only things that leave your phone are the place names you search for and the map coordinates and dates needed to download weather for your blanket. None of it is tied to who you are.
This policy applies to the One Row app for iPhone ("One Row", "we"). Questions: feedback@onerow.app.
What stays on your iPhone and in your iCloud
Everything you create in One Row is saved on your device and, if you're signed in to iCloud, backed up to your own private iCloud storage.
| What | Examples |
|---|---|
| Your blankets and plans | Name, place and year, colors, the daily temperatures downloaded for it, planned size |
| Your progress | Rows marked done and when, pattern settings, reminder time |
| Your yarn | Brand, color name and number, dye lot, skein length, swatch color |
| Photos and files you add | Progress photos, yarn and label photos, pattern PDFs and images |
| Preferences | Light or dark mode, your home blanket, which tips you've seen |
- Label reading happens on your phone. When you scan a yarn label, the text is read by Apple's on-device text recognition. The photo isn't uploaded anywhere.
- Widgets read from your phone. The Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show today's row from a small file One Row keeps on your iPhone for them. Nothing is sent anywhere to show them.
- Progress videos are made on your phone. A video only leaves your device if you choose to share or save it.
- iCloud backup. One Row keeps a copy of your blankets, photos, files and yarn in the private iCloud database of your own Apple Account (Apple's CloudKit), so a new phone or a reinstall brings them back. With One Row Plus, the same copy keeps your iPhone and iPad in sync. Only you can see it: we have no access to it, and it's stored under Apple's privacy policy. To turn it off, go to Settings, then your name, then iCloud, and switch off One Row. To delete it, choose Delete Data there.
- Device backups. One Row's data is also included in your iPhone or iCloud device backup if you have backups turned on.
Analytics on onerow.app
The website (not the app) uses Google Analytics to count visits and see how people find us, such as which pages they view and whether they came from a link on social media. Until you tap Accept on the cookie notice, it sets no cookies and sends Google only anonymous, cookieless counts; after that it uses Google's analytics cookies. IP addresses are shortened, and nothing is used for ads. You can change your mind anytime by clearing this site's data in your browser. Google's handling is covered by Google's privacy policy.
The beta signup on onerow.app
If you ask for a beta invite at onerow.app/beta, we keep what you enter: your first name, email, and your answers about your crafting. It's stored on One Row's server (on Cloudflare) and used only to send your TestFlight invite and your free year of One Row Plus, and to ask how the beta is going. We don't share it or sell it. To have it deleted, email feedback@onerow.app.
What leaves your iPhone
To build your blanket, One Row downloads weather from these services. What's sent is a place, not a person: map coordinates, dates and the time zone.
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Weather (WeatherKit) | The blanket's place (coordinates) and dates | Today's forecast and daily weather from 2022 on. Apple says it uses this only to provide weather and doesn't link it to you. |
| One Row's weather server | The blanket's place (coordinates rounded to about 1 km) and year | Weather-station history for years before 2022, from NOAA GHCN-Daily. We store the weather for each place and year so it's fetched once. We don't store anything about who asked. |
| Apple Maps | Place names you type | Finding towns and cities. Apple says searches aren't linked to your Apple Account. |
- One Row never uses your phone's location. Places come only from what you type and choose.
- Like any website, these services see your device's internet (IP) address when the app connects. One Row's server runs on Cloudflare and doesn't record IP addresses.
- Credits: Apple Weather; NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (GHCN-Daily); and, for place names on onerow.app, GeoNames (CC BY 4.0).
- Feedback. If you tap Send feedback, your mail app opens a message to us with the app version, iPhone model and iOS version. It's only sent if you send it, and we use it only to reply and improve the app.
- "See your blanket" on onerow.app. The place you type, and then its coordinates and the year, go only to One Row's own server to find the place and its weather. Nothing is stored about who asked.
- Links you tap. Pattern links you add open in your browser, which follows that website's own privacy policy.
Permissions
One Row asks for a permission only when you use the feature that needs it. You can change any of them in Settings.
| Permission | Used for | If you say no |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | Photos of yarn labels, yarn colors and your blanket's progress | Choose photos from your library instead |
| Photos | Picking photos to add (the app sees only the ones you pick), and saving progress videos when you tap Save | Use the camera, or share the video another way |
| Notifications | Your optional daily reminder, scheduled on your phone | No reminders; everything else works |
One Row Plus
One Row is free. One Row Plus is sold through Apple's App Store, and Apple handles the payment.
- We never see your payment details. Card numbers, Apple Account details and billing address stay with Apple.
- Your phone checks what you've unlocked. The app asks Apple on your device whether you have Plus. That purchase record isn't sent to us.
- Subscriptions and refunds are managed in your Apple Account settings.
Your choices and rights
- Deleting your data. Delete a blanket in the app to remove it with its photos and files. Deleting One Row from your iPhone removes everything it stored. We don't hold your data, so there's nothing for us to delete or export.
- Children. One Row isn't directed at children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect anyone's personal information.
- Your rights. Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK or California), you may have rights to access or delete personal data. One Row doesn't collect personal data, but you can always contact us.
- Changes. If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top and mention it in the app's release notes. If we ever start collecting personal data, we'll ask first.
