Selvage Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Selvage turns your photos into quilt patterns on your device. We built it so that your photos and projects never leave your iPhone or iPad. This policy explains the little information that does leave it, and why.

The short version

Your photos and projects

When you choose or take a photo, Selvage copies it into the app's own storage on your device and turns it into a quilt pattern right there, on the device. Your photo, your quilt projects, fabric names, cutting check-offs and sewing progress are saved as files in the app's storage on your device. They are never sent to us or to anyone else.

Your device backups (iCloud Backup or a backup on your computer) may include these files, depending on your device settings. Those backups are handled by Apple under your Apple account, not by us.

PDF patterns and share pictures are created on your device. They go only where you send them yourself with the share sheet.

Face detection

When you import a photo, Selvage uses Apple's Vision framework on your device to find where faces are in the photo. We use that position only to suggest a tighter crop when a face would be too small to read in squares. Only the rectangle's position is saved with your project, on your device. No facial geometry, landmarks or biometric data are stored, and nothing is sent off the device.

Camera and photo library

Selvage asks for the camera or your photos only so you can take or pick the photo you want to turn into a quilt. It reads only the photo you choose.

Purchases

Payments are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details.

We use RevenueCat, Inc. to check whether you own Selvage Pro, to restore purchases and to manage subscriptions. For this, the app sends RevenueCat an anonymous app user ID that RevenueCat creates, your purchase information from Apple, and basic technical details such as the app version, iOS version and store country. As with any internet connection, RevenueCat also receives your device's IP address. This information is used only to provide your purchases. RevenueCat's privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

Analytics and advertising

This version of Selvage contains no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs, and it does not use your device's advertising identifier. We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may give us crash reports and statistics about how the app performs. Apple provides these to us in a form that does not identify you.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, Selvage schedules its reminders on your device. No notification data is sent to us.

Email

If you email us, we receive your email address and what you write. When you use "A number looks wrong? Tell us" in the app, the draft also includes the app version and iOS version so we can check the math; you can read and change the draft before you send it. We use your email only to answer you and keep it only as long as we need to help you.

Children

Selvage is a general-audience app and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices

You can delete any quilt in the app, or delete the app to remove all of its data from your device. To ask about, or to have deleted, the purchase information RevenueCat keeps for your anonymous ID, email us. Depending on where you live (for example the UK, the EU or California), you may have further rights to access or delete personal data. Email us and we will help.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the date at the top. If a future version of Selvage collects anything new, this policy will say so before that version is released.
