Privacy Policy

Welcome to Rexin (“Rexin,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Rexin is a crochet inspiration and project management application that helps users organize crafting projects, manage materials, estimate yarn requirements, discover creative ideas, and participate in a craft-focused community.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, disclosed, retained, and deleted when you use the Rexin mobile application and related services (collectively, the “App”).

For information about camera use and local project photos, see Section 2.8. For information about age assurance through Apple’s Declared Age Range API, see Section 2.9.

If you have questions about this Policy or your information, contact service@rexin.live.

1. Eligibility and Age Restriction

1.1 Intended Audience

Rexin is intended for adults aged 18 and older. It is designed for adult crochet and fiber-craft enthusiasts. Individuals under 18 are not authorized to use the App.

1.2 Age Assurance

Rexin uses Apple’s Declared Age Range API to request age-range information and determine access to community features.

The age-check entry is available in the Home screen’s Inspiration section. When an age check is required, the App displays “Age check needed” and a “Share my age range” button.

Rexin uses the result of the age-range request to determine whether access to age-restricted community content can be enabled. If the necessary age information is unavailable or eligibility cannot be established, access to affected features may remain restricted.

This process does not use facial recognition, facial age estimation, TrueDepth, or biometric identification.

1.3 Parental Controls

Rexin does not provide its own parental-control dashboard or tools for parents to monitor a child’s activity. Apple’s operating-system and account-level settings are separate from Rexin’s features.

1.4 Underage Accounts

If we become aware that an account belongs to a person under 18, we will take appropriate steps to restrict access and delete personal information we hold, subject to any applicable legal preservation obligations.

2. Information We Collect and Process

We limit information processing to what is reasonably necessary for the App’s functions, safety, account administration, and applicable legal obligations.

2.1 Account and Profile Information

When you sign in, including through Sign in with Apple, we process information needed to establish and maintain your account or profile. This may include:

• An account identifier and authentication-related information.
• Your chosen display name or nickname.
• A profile image that you select.
• An optional biography.
• Account preferences and settings.

Apple handles its authentication process under its own privacy terms. Rexin does not receive your Apple Account password.

Much of the App’s profile and preference information is maintained locally on your device. Information needed for community or account-related services is processed as necessary to provide those features.

2.2 Project Records and Community Content

The App may process information that you enter or generate while using its features, including:

• Project names, categories, materials, progress, dates, and notes.
• Yarn and hook inventory records.
• Yarn estimates and calculation history.
• Inspiration posts, titles, descriptions, and tags.
• Comments, reactions, saved favorites, and follow relationships.
• Messages and information you submit through reporting tools.

Local project records are distinct from content you expressly publish or send through community features. Saving a project does not automatically publish its records or project photos.

Content you intentionally publish may be visible to other users. Messages are made available to their intended recipients. See Section 9 for additional information.

2.3 Device and Technical Information

We may process limited technical information needed to operate the App and diagnose problems, including:

• Device model and operating-system version.
• App version.
• Language and locale settings.
• Diagnostic and performance information.
• Device or installation identifiers used for App functionality.

These categories do not authorize collection of TrueDepth data, facial-analysis data, or project photos for diagnostics.

2.4 Camera, Photos, and Media

Rexin uses the rear camera for planar measurement related to crochet projects and for project photos that you choose to capture. You may also select existing images for project records.

We access images that you select rather than scanning your entire photo library.

Project photos are stored locally on your device. Rexin does not upload them to its servers or share them with third parties.

Camera and photo permissions do not authorize facial analysis, face tracking, biometric profiling, or facial age estimation.

You can decline or change camera and photo permissions through your device settings. Features that require the relevant permission may then be unavailable.

See Section 2.8 for the specific practices governing project photos and face data.

2.5 Location Information

Rexin does not collect GPS-level location data or require precise geolocation for its core features.

Language and locale settings may be used to adapt the App’s presentation. These settings do not provide a precise physical location.

2.6 Purchases and Coins

Rexin offers virtual Coins through Apple In-App Purchase. Coins can be used for available digital features, including additional project creation after the free allowance.

Apple processes purchases. Rexin does not collect your full payment-card number or Apple Account payment credentials.

We process transaction information, purchase-verification results, Coin balances, and Coin usage as necessary to credit purchases, provide paid features, prevent duplicate credits, and address purchase issues.

Coin packs are one-time purchases. Rexin does not offer subscriptions.

2.7 Information We Do Not Collect

Rexin does not collect biometric identifiers, facial geometry, facial depth maps, face meshes, facial landmarks, or expression data.

The App does not provide facial recognition, facial age estimation, dating, random matching, or anonymous social features.

Age-range information received through Apple’s Declared Age Range API is addressed separately in Section 2.9.

2.8 TrueDepth, Face Data, and Project Photos

Core Statement

Rexin does not use the TrueDepth API and does not collect facial geometry, facial depth maps, face meshes, facial landmarks, or expression data. Rexin does not perform face tracking or facial analysis. The rear camera is used for planar measurement related to crochet projects. Users may also choose to capture or select photos for their project records. Project photos are stored locally on the user's device; Rexin does not upload them to its servers or share them with third parties. Because Rexin does not collect or generate TrueDepth or facial-analysis data, no such data is retained, stored, disclosed, or shared, and there is no such data to delete.

Purpose and Scope

Camera access supports rear-camera planar measurement and project photography initiated by you. Project photos document your crafting work.

Rexin does not use these functions to identify people, estimate age, extract facial features, create biometric profiles, or obtain facial geometry or facial depth information.

If a person appears incidentally in a selected photo, Rexin does not analyze that person’s face.

Storage and Sharing

Project photos remain in local device storage. Rexin does not upload these photos to its servers or disclose them to third-party service providers.

Rexin does not maintain a server-side repository of these project photos.

The general disclosure, business-transfer, and international-transfer provisions in this Policy do not authorize Rexin to upload, share, or transfer local project photos.

Retention and Deletion

Project photos retained within the App remain locally with your project records until the relevant local content is removed.

You can remove local App data through the Delete Account function or by deleting the App and its data from your device. Rexin has no server-side copy of these project photos to retain or delete.

Removing App data does not delete original images in your device’s Photos library or copies you independently keep outside the App. Manage those copies and any device backups through the relevant device or backup controls.

Because Rexin does not collect or generate TrueDepth or facial-analysis data, no retention period or deletion process applies to such data.

Permission Controls

You decide whether to use the camera or select a project photo. You can change camera and photo permissions in your device settings.

Revoking a permission restricts future access according to the operating system’s controls. It does not itself delete images already saved in a project.

2.9 Age-Range Information and Apple’s Declared Age Range API

Information Processed

When Rexin requests age information through Apple’s Declared Age Range API, it processes the age range or eligibility information returned by Apple and the outcome of the request, such as whether age information was available.

This process does not require you to provide Rexin with your exact date of birth, government-issued identification, facial images, or biometric data.

Purpose

Rexin uses age-range information to determine access to age-restricted community features, apply its adult-user eligibility requirements, and support applicable age-related compliance obligations.

Age-range information is not used to infer your appearance, analyze your face, or establish a biometric identity.

Access Decisions

The App may keep community content restricted while the age check is incomplete or when the information available does not establish eligibility.

The availability of an age-range response may depend on Apple’s system behavior, account settings, and applicable platform requirements.

An age-range response supports an access decision; it does not give Rexin access to Apple’s underlying identity documents or any biometric information Apple may process independently.

Use and Disclosure Limits

Age-range information and related eligibility results are not published on your profile or disclosed to other community members.

We do not sell age-range information or use it for advertising, marketing, unrelated personalization, or profiling. We do not provide it to advertising platforms or data brokers.

Retention and Deletion

Any age-range information or eligibility record retained by Rexin is limited to what is necessary to administer access restrictions, maintain the applicable age-check status, or meet a legal obligation.

Such records are subject to the retention and deletion principles in Section 6 and the rights described in Section 7. They are not retained for unrelated future uses.

Deleting your Rexin data does not delete age information or sharing preferences maintained independently by Apple. Apple’s records and controls are governed by its own privacy terms.

Your Choices

You can manage age-range sharing through the options Apple makes available for your account and device, subject to applicable platform requirements.

If necessary age information is not shared or cannot be obtained, affected community features may remain unavailable.

3. How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

• Core functionality: providing project management, material inventories, yarn estimation, inspiration discovery, and other crafting tools.
• Account administration: maintaining accounts, profiles, preferences, and settings.
• Community participation: displaying published content, delivering messages, and supporting comments, reactions, and follow relationships.
• Age assurance: evaluating access to community features using Apple’s age-range information.
• Recommendations: suggesting relevant crafting content based on interests and in-App activity, without using age-range information for unrelated personalization.
• Purchases: verifying transactions, crediting Coins, and providing paid digital features.
• Safety: reviewing reports, applying blocking controls, and enforcing community rules.
• Technical maintenance: investigating errors and improving reliability.
• Legal obligations: responding to valid requests and complying with applicable requirements.

We will provide additional notice and obtain consent where required before using information for a materially different purpose.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following:

• Contract: processing necessary to provide requested App features.
• Consent: processing based on permissions or choices where consent is required.
• Legitimate interests: maintaining security, preventing abuse, and improving reliability, subject to applicable balancing requirements.
• Legal obligations: processing required to comply with applicable law.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it through available controls or by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully performed before withdrawal.

Acknowledging this Policy does not replace a separate consent request where one is required.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

5.1 Other Users

Your public profile and content you expressly publish may be visible to other users. Messages are available to their intended recipients.

Local project photos and age-range results are not automatically shared as community content.

5.2 Company-Operated Services

Apart from Apple platform services, Rexin does not use third-party service providers to deliver its core App functionality. Application services provided by Rexin are company-operated.

Rexin does not send local project photos or facial-analysis data to third-party hosting, analytics, or other service providers.

5.3 Apple Platform Services

Rexin uses Apple services for Sign in with Apple, App Store purchases, and Declared Age Range requests.

Apple processes information required for its services under its own privacy terms. Rexin does not provide local project photos, facial geometry, or facial depth maps to Apple as part of these flows.

5.4 Legal and Safety Disclosures

We may disclose information we actually hold where necessary and legally permitted to:

• Comply with valid legal process.
• Investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
• Enforce our terms.
• Protect the rights and safety of users or others.

These provisions do not imply that Rexin possesses local project photos or face data.

5.5 Business Transfers

If Rexin undergoes a merger, acquisition, or similar transaction, information held by Rexin may be transferred subject to applicable law and appropriate privacy protections.

We will provide notice where required. Such a transfer does not authorize uploading local project photos or repurposing age-range information for unrelated uses.

5.6 No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell personal information. We do not provide age-range information to data brokers or advertising platforms.

6. Data Storage, Retention, and Deletion

6.1 Local App Data

Rexin stores substantial App data locally, including project records, inventories, estimation history, preferences, and local project photos.

Locally stored information remains on the device until removed through applicable App controls or device controls.

6.2 Retention Principles

Information held by Rexin is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or an applicable legal obligation.

Relevant considerations include whether an account remains active, whether information is needed to provide a requested feature, unresolved support or purchase issues, safety investigations, and legally required recordkeeping.

Any retained age-check information is limited to maintaining appropriate access restrictions or meeting applicable legal obligations.

6.3 Account and Content Deletion

You can initiate account deletion from the App’s Settings screen. The Delete Account function clears local App data.

You may also contact service@rexin.live to request deletion of information held by Rexin outside your device. Where limited retention is legally required or necessary to resolve an outstanding issue, we will restrict the retained information to that purpose.

6.4 Photos, Backups, and Platform Records

Deleting the App and its data removes its local storage. Offloading the App may preserve its data.

Original photos, independently exported copies, and device backups are managed separately through the relevant device or backup controls.

Rexin cannot delete records maintained independently by Apple, such as Apple purchase history or account-level age-sharing preferences.

6.5 Face Data

Rexin does not collect or generate TrueDepth or facial-analysis data. Accordingly, there are no such records to retain or delete.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on applicable law, your rights may include:

• Accessing personal information held about you.
• Correcting inaccurate information.
• Requesting deletion.
• Restricting or objecting to certain processing.
• Receiving eligible information in a portable format.
• Withdrawing consent where processing relies on consent.
• Raising a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority.
• Exercising your rights without unlawful discrimination.

You can also:

• Edit profile and project information within the App.
• Manage camera and photo permissions through device settings.
• Manage age-range sharing through available Apple controls.
• Use reporting and blocking tools.
• Delete your account through Settings.

Contact service@rexin.live to submit a request. We may need to verify your identity in a proportionate manner and will respond within applicable legal time limits.

8. Children’s Privacy and Safety

Rexin is intended for users aged 18 and older. Its age-range check supports access restrictions and does not make the App a service intended for children.

We do not knowingly maintain accounts for minors. If you believe an underage person is using Rexin or has provided personal information, contact service@rexin.live.

We will take appropriate steps to restrict access and delete information, subject to legal requirements.

8.1 Prohibition of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation

Rexin has zero tolerance for Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) and Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).

Content or conduct that sexualizes, exploits, grooms, endangers, or otherwise harms minors is prohibited.

We provide reporting and blocking controls, review reports, remove violating content, and take appropriate action against responsible accounts.

Where required by applicable law, we report apparent child sexual abuse material or exploitation to competent authorities or designated reporting organizations and cooperate with lawful investigations.

Report concerns through in-App reporting tools or service@rexin.live.

9. User-Generated Content and Community Features

9.1 Public and Private Content

Content you expressly publish may be visible to other users. Messages are intended for their selected recipients.

Local project records and photos are not automatically published. Saving a project photo does not authorize its upload or sharing.

9.2 Ownership and Rights

You retain ownership of your content. Any permission to host or display content you publish is governed by the applicable Terms of Service and is limited to providing the relevant service.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions for content you share.

9.3 Reporting and Blocking

The App provides tools to report inappropriate content and users and to block unwanted interactions.

We may process reported content, relevant account identifiers, and the information supplied in a report to investigate concerns and enforce community rules.

You can manage blocked users through the App’s Settings.

9.4 Messaging and Moderation

Messaging controls may limit initial contact, including allowing only one initial message until the recipient replies.

We may remove or restrict violating content and suspend or terminate accounts in accordance with our terms and applicable law.

Please avoid sharing confidential or sensitive information in public posts or with people you do not trust.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure.

Protection of locally stored information also depends on your device security, including device locks, operating-system updates, and backup settings.

No system can guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to protect your device and account and report suspected unauthorized access promptly.

11. International Users and Transfers

Rexin provides the same core services across supported regions.

Apple’s age-range request behavior may depend on the operating system, Apple Account settings, and applicable regional requirements. These platform-level differences do not change the purposes for which Rexin uses age-range information.

Local project photos remain on your device and are not transferred internationally by Rexin. No TrueDepth or facial-analysis data is collected or transferred.

Where other information covered by this Policy is processed across borders, applicable data-protection requirements and appropriate safeguards apply.

12. External Links and Apple Services

The App may contain links to external websites or provide access to Apple platform services.

Those services operate under their own privacy policies. This Policy describes Rexin’s practices and does not replace Apple’s or another website operator’s privacy terms.

Review the relevant policy before providing information directly to an external service.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in App features, actual data practices, or applicable requirements.

We will update the “Last Updated” date and provide additional notice where required. If a change requires consent, we will obtain that consent before carrying out the relevant processing.

Changes do not automatically authorize new uses of local project photos or age-range information.
