Privacy Policy
Bead Atelier
Effective November 5, 2026 · iOS and Android app version 1.0.0
Scope
This policy applies to Bead Atelier for iOS and Android, provided by Ggeomddakji (껌딱지), a sole proprietorship in the Republic of Korea. Bead Atelier has no sign-up or login, contains no advertising, analytics or tracking SDKs, and Ggeomddakji runs no servers for it. The app does not collect personal information such as your name, contact details or location, and does not send it anywhere.
Information stored on your device
Your patterns, the original photos kept with them, custom palettes, owned colors (bead inventory), settings and whether you have bought Premium are stored only in the app's storage on your device and are not sent to Ggeomddakji or anyone else.
Photos and camera
To make a pattern, only the photo you pick from your photo library, take with the camera or choose as a file is passed to the app. The photo is converted into a bead pattern on your device and is never uploaded. The original photo may be stored on your device together with the pattern.
The app may ask for camera permission when you take a photo and, on iOS, for permission to add photos when you save a finished image to Photos. These permissions are used only for those features, and you can revoke them at any time in your device settings.
In-app purchase
Premium is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Payment is handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play; Ggeomddakji never receives your card number or other payment details.
Purchases are verified on your device, through Apple StoreKit on iOS and Google Play Billing on Android, and are not sent to any Ggeomddakji server. The app only records on your device whether Premium has been bought.
Third parties and international processing
We do not sell personal information or share it for advertising. Apple and Google handle app downloads, payment and purchase restoration under their own policies, which may involve servers outside your country. Ggeomddakji does not receive or keep this information.
Retention
Device data stays until you delete it in the app or delete the app. Settings → “Delete All Data” permanently deletes your patterns and original photos, custom palettes, owned colors and settings from the device; your Premium purchase is kept. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to answer and resolve your request. Transaction records required by law are kept by Apple and Google.
Your rights
You can delete patterns in the app, and Settings → “Delete All Data” or deleting the app removes all of its data from your device. Ggeomddakji holds none of your app data on a server. To request access, correction, deletion or restriction, or for any privacy question, email us below. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Bead Atelier does not collect children's personal information. Purchases follow your device's store account settings and parental approval features. Please ask an adult to help when ironing real beads.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the effective date on this page and announce significant changes in an appropriate way, such as app update notes.
