Privacy
Privacy policy
Effective date: September 17, 2026
StitchPreview is designed to let you inspect embroidery files locally on your Mac. Privacy is part of the product, not an afterthought.
What the app does
When you ask Finder or Quick Look to preview a supported embroidery file, StitchPreview reads that requested file locally to generate its thumbnail or preview. It is a read-only tool: it does not modify the original file.
Data we collect
StitchPreview does not collect, transmit, sell, rent, or share your embroidery files, file contents, filenames, account information, or personal information. The app does not require an account and does not upload design files to a server.
Local settings and derived files
The app may retain local display preferences and derived preview-cache files on your Mac so previews work efficiently. These are stored locally and can be cleared from the app where that control is available. They are not used to identify you or sent to us.
This website
The static StitchPreview website does not include a contact form, advertising tracker, analytics script, or cookies set by us. If you email support, your message is handled by your email provider and ours in order to respond to your request.
Children
StitchPreview is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy if the app’s data practices change. The effective date above will be updated when we do. Questions about this policy can be sent to support@showleafy.com.
