Privacy, bead by bead.

Who we are

Dotli is made by Lalune Creative AB, Stensiksv. 24, 434 94 Vallda, Sweden. We are responsible for the personal information we handle as described in this policy. You can reach us at hi@lalune.se.

This policy covers the Dotli app, these Dotli web pages, and messages you send us for support.

Your creations stay on your device

Dotli does not require an account. Your bead patterns, project names, progress, finished work, preferences, and maker achievements are saved in the app’s local storage. We do not receive or upload this information to a Dotli server.

Dotli has no advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics SDKs. We do not sell your personal information or use your creations for advertising.

Photos and camera

You can choose a picture using Apple’s system photo picker or allow camera access to take a picture. Dotli converts it into a bead pattern on your device. The original image is used during conversion and is not saved in Dotli’s project files or uploaded by Dotli. The resulting bead pattern and colours are saved locally. Your original photo in your photo library is unaffected.

Camera access is optional. Saving a finished card to Photos asks for permission to add images. You can change these permissions in iOS Settings. You can use patterns and free boards without granting camera or photo-saving access.

Purchases and Apple services

Dotli Studio is an optional one-time in-app purchase handled by Apple. Dotli uses Apple’s StoreKit to check purchase status and restore access. We do not receive your payment card details. Apple’s handling of purchases and Apple Account information is covered by Apple’s privacy policy.

Depending on your Apple analytics settings, Apple may share crash reports and usage statistics with us in aggregate or in a form that does not personally identify you. We use these to understand and improve reliability. You can manage sharing in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements. See Apple’s App Analytics & Privacy notice.

Sharing is your choice

When you export a card, including any message you add, the image is passed to the destination you choose in the iOS share sheet or saved to Photos. Those services handle the image under their own policies. Dotli does not publish your work automatically.

Storage, backups, and deletion

Local app data remains on your device until removed. Removing a piece from your stash removes that stash entry; related project progress can remain. To remove all local Dotli data, delete the app using iOS Settings. Offloading the app keeps its documents and data. Images you have exported to Photos, Files, or other services must be deleted separately.

App data may be included in backups managed by iOS, iCloud, or your computer, depending on your settings. Dotli does not provide its own cloud sync. You manage those backups through Apple or your backup provider. Deleting local data does not erase Apple’s purchase history.

When you contact support

If you email us, we receive your email address, message, and any information or attachments you choose to send. We use these to respond and troubleshoot your issue, based on our legitimate interest in supporting our users. Our email provider processes correspondence to deliver and store it on our behalf. We do not use support messages for advertising.

We retain correspondence only as needed to handle your request, resolve follow-up issues, and meet applicable obligations. You can request deletion by emailing us. Please do not send passwords or payment details.

Visiting this website

These Dotli pages do not set advertising or analytics cookies and do not include tracking scripts. Our hosting provider may process technical request information, such as your IP address, browser details, requested page, and request time, to deliver and secure the website. This is separate from data stored in the Dotli app.

Your choices and rights

You control optional device permissions and sharing. For personal information we hold, you can ask for access, correction, or deletion, or object to or request restriction of processing. Where applicable, you may also request data portability. Email hi@lalune.se to exercise these rights. We cannot access or delete app data held only on your device.

You may also raise a concern with your local data protection authority, including Sweden’s Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).

Children

The app’s local data handling applies to all users. We do not knowingly request personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent personal information to support, contact us so we can address it.

Changes and contact

We will update this page if Dotli’s data practices change and revise the date above. For privacy questions or requests, contact Lalune Creative AB at hi@lalune.se.
