FPP Studio privacy policy

Last updated: 23 October 2026

FPP Studio ("the app") is made by Oleksandr Prokopchuk, publishing as Colabox.NET ("we"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the app on Android, iPhone or iPad.

Your photos and patterns stay on your device

• Photos you choose to trace over are kept and processed on your device. They are never uploaded to us.
• Your patterns, colours, sewing progress and settings are stored only on your device. We have no servers and no user accounts, so we cannot see them.
• PDFs you print or share, and pattern files (.fppd) you save or share, go only where you send them. A pattern file can include the photo you traced, so share it only with people you want to have it.
• Pattern files you open from other apps are read on your device and added to your library.
• Uninstalling the app deletes this data. If you have device backup turned on, Android may keep a copy in your Google account, and iPhone or iPad may keep one in iCloud Backup.

Ads in the free version

The free version shows a short video ad, only when you choose to watch one before printing, saving or sharing a pattern. Ads are provided by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google may collect and process:

• your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers,
• approximate location derived from your IP address,
• information about the ad interactions and app usage needed to serve, measure and protect against fraud.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent through Google's consent screen before ads are personalised. You can change your choice at any time from Ad privacy settings in the app menu. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings. On iPhone and iPad the app never asks to track you, so it does not get your device's advertising identifier (IDFA).

Google's use of this data is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.

FPP Studio Pro shows no ads, and the ads code does not start for Pro users.

Purchases

FPP Studio Pro is bought through Google Play on Android and through the App Store on iPhone and iPad. Google or Apple handles the payment; we never see your card or payment details. The app only checks with Google Play or the App Store whether Pro was purchased on your account.

Permissions

• Internet: used only for ads and for checking your Pro purchase.
• Photos and files: only the photos and pattern files you pick yourself, through the system photo and file pickers or by opening them with the app. The app does not ask for access to your whole photo library.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. Ads are limited to family-friendly content.

Data we collect

We, the developer, do not collect, store or sell any personal information. The only data collection is by Google for ads and purchases, as described above.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
