Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 10, 2026
1. Information Purori Collects
Account data. When you create a Purori account, Purori collects your email address and, if you use Apple Sign-In, your Apple-provided user identifier. This is used to authenticate you and manage your account.
Pattern data. When you import a knitting or crochet pattern, the file and its extracted text are sent to Purori's servers for AI-powered parsing. The text is then transmitted to third-party AI providers (see Third-Party Services) solely to produce the structured output. Parsed results are stored on Purori's servers and associated with your account so you can access them across devices. Purori does not share your patterns or parsed output with other users, and does not use your patterns to train AI models.
Usage analytics. Purori uses PostHog to collect anonymous usage events (feature usage, crash data, performance metrics). These events are not linked to your identity and are used solely to improve the app. Purori does not track you across other apps or websites.
Subscription data. If you subscribe to Purori Pro, Apple processes the payment. Purori receives a transaction receipt to verify your subscription status but does not have access to your payment details.
Push notification tokens. If you enable push notifications, Purori stores your device token to send you notifications when pattern parsing is complete.
2. How Your Information Is Used
- To provide and maintain the Purori service
- To authenticate your identity and manage your account
- To parse and store your knitting patterns
- To verify your subscription status
- To send push notifications you have opted into
- To improve app performance and fix bugs via anonymous analytics
3. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers hosted on Railway. All data in transit is encrypted via TLS. Database connections require TLS in production. Parsed patterns and account data are retained as long as your account is active. Parse job data is automatically deleted after 7 days.
4. Third-Party Services
- Google Gemini / Anthropic Claude: Pattern text is sent to these AI providers for parsing. Purori uses their paid APIs under terms that do not permit them to train their models on your inputs. Their handling of transmitted content is governed by their own privacy policies (Google's Gemini API terms; Anthropic's commercial terms of service).
- PostHog: Anonymous usage analytics and error tracking.
- Resend: Transactional emails (verification, password reset).
- Apple: Sign-In with Apple, StoreKit subscription management, push notifications.
5. Your Rights
You can delete your account at any time from Settings in the Purori app. This permanently removes your account, all stored patterns, and associated data from Purori's servers. You can also request data export or deletion by emailing the address below.
6. Children's Privacy
Purori is not directed at children under 13. Purori does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. Material changes are noted by updating the date at the top of this page.
