Developer and contact

Sevenstead Pottery is published by Lei Tang under the Sevenstead Apps brand. For privacy and support questions, contact tw92936969@gmail.com.

Information on your device

Your pottery pieces, test tiles, glaze library, recipes, journal entries, ratings, and photos are stored in the app on your device. We do not operate an account system or a server that receives these records. There are no advertising, analytics, or tracking SDKs in the app.

Photos and camera

Camera access is requested only when you choose to take a photo. The system photo picker shares only the images you select. The app makes JPEG copies at up to 2,000 pixels on the longest side and removes source location and camera metadata during conversion. Keep your original photographs separately. Cloud-only images may need an internet connection before they can be imported.

Exports and sharing

PDF exports include the selected piece and its photos, notes, and glaze information. CSV exports contain reference records; full studio backups include records and photos. Exported files are not password protected by this app. They are sent only to the destination you select in the system share sheet. Other apps and storage providers handle those files under their own policies. Review files and recipients before sharing.

Backup and restore

Restoring a studio backup replaces, rather than merges with, the current studio. Before replacement, the app saves a recovery backup in its local storage. Those local recovery files remain on the same device. Export backups to a destination outside the app to protect against app deletion or device loss. Depending on your Apple settings, system device backups may also include app data. We do not offer our own cloud synchronization service.

Retention and deletion

Active studio records remain until you delete or replace them. Deleting a piece removes its photos after the updated catalog is saved. Previous exports, before-restore recovery backups, and system device backups are separate copies and are not erased when an active record is deleted. Temporary exports may remain until the system clears them or the app is removed. Uninstalling the app removes its local studio and recovery files. Manage copies stored elsewhere with the provider you selected.

Support correspondence

If you voluntarily email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send. We use it to answer your request, not for advertising, tracking, or marketing. Email is handled through Gmail. Do not send private studio records, customer details, or photographs of people unless needed to explain the issue. We retain correspondence only as needed to resolve the request and meet applicable obligations. You may request deletion using the same support address.

Apple purchases and diagnostics

Apple handles App Store purchases and may process purchase information or platform diagnostics under its own policies. The app does not receive payment card details and does not implement in-app purchases or subscriptions.

This website

This website contains no advertising or analytics scripts and does not require an account. Cloudflare may process technical connection information, such as IP addresses and request details, to deliver and protect the site. Opening an email link launches your email app; it does not upload the studio library.

Policy changes

We will update the date on this page when the policy changes. Any changes to app data practices will be reflected in this page, the in-app privacy information, and the App Store privacy details as appropriate.

Contact and service providers
