Update February 3, 2019 for Alpaca iOS version 1.7.0 and newerSummaryWe want to make the best Ravelry app possible, and doing so requires the app to be able to access and temporarily store certain information from your Ravelry profile. We believe the best way to protect your data is to not store it, and we do our best to store the least amount of information possible to deliver the best app possible.Alpaca uses the Ravelry API to access your data from Ravelry. A free Ravelry account is required to use Alpaca, and is subject to the Ravelry Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. When you use Alpaca, the makers of Ravelry may be able to view your activity as if you were browsing the Ravelry website.To allow the app to work offline, the app caches some profile information locally on your device. When you sign out of or delete the app from your device, this data is removed.When you allow Alpaca to access your location, this information is stored locally on your device. When location access is not permitted, the app may approximate your location using the "location" field in your Ravelry profile. This data is only used to help find nearby shops to display in the app.We are not interested in identifying any individual user, but we are interested in knowing our audience as a whole. Alpaca uses Firebase Analytics to anonymously log screen views and language preferences to help us determine which areas of the app to focus on in future updates. If most of our users are using the app to add yarn to their yarn stash, we want to know so we can focus on improving the stash. If most of our users prefer French, we want to know so we can translate the app to French.If the app crashes, log data may be sent to Firebase Analytics to help us determine the reason for the crash. Depending on the cause of the crash, this data may include urls that include your username or approximate location. This data is only used to help fix issues in the app.Alpaca is an advertising supported application. This means that we offer the app to you at no cost, and in turn will sell advertising space in the app. When you purchase a product after opening a link to a product, the creators of Alpaca may receive a portion of the sale. When you interact with an advertisement, we create an anonymous log to help us determine the popularity of various advertisements. We do not provide any personal information to an advertiser when you interact with or view an advertisement.If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at hello@atmosphereint.com.Privacy PolicyYour privacy is important, and so is being transparent about how we collect, use, and share information.

You’re not allowed to attempt to extract the source code of the app, and you also shouldn’t try to translate the app into other languages, or make derivative versions. The app itself, and all the trade marks, copyright, database rights and other intellectual property rights related to it, still belong to Atmosphere Interactive LLC.Atmosphere Interactive LLC is committed to ensuring that the app is as useful and efficient as possible.

It’s your responsibility to keep your phone and access to the app secure. We therefore recommend that you do not jailbreak or root your phone, which is the process of removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. It could make your phone vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your phone’s security features and it could mean that the Alpaca app won’t work properly or at all.You should be aware that there are certain things that Atmosphere Interactive will not take responsibility for. Certain functions of the app will require the app to have an active internet connection. The connection can be Wi-Fi, or provided by your mobile network provider, but Atmosphere Interactive cannot take responsibility for the app not working at full functionality if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, and you don’t have any of your data allowance left.If you’re using the app outside of an area with Wi-Fi, you should remember that your terms of the agreement with your mobile network provider will still apply. As a result, you may be charged by your mobile provider for the cost of data for the duration of the connection while accessing the app, or other third party charges. In using the app, you’re accepting responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the app outside of your home territory (i.e. region or country) without turning off data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you’re using the app, please be aware that we assume that you have received permission from the bill payer for using the app.Along the same lines, Atmosphere Interactive cannot always take responsibility for the way you use the app i.e. You need to make sure that your device stays charged – if it runs out of battery and you can’t turn it on to avail the Service, Atmosphere Interactive cannot accept responsibilityWith respect to Atmosphere Interactive’s responsibility for your use of the app, when you’re using the app, it’s important to bear in mind that although we endeavor to ensure that it is updated and correct at all times, we do rely on third parties to provide information to us so that we can make it available to you. Atmosphere Interactive accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, you experience as a result of relying wholly on this functionality of the app.At some point, we may wish to update the app. The app is currently available on iOS – the requirements for the system (and for any additional systems we decide to extend the availability of the app to) may change, and you’ll need to download the updates if you want to keep using the app. Atmosphere Interactive does not promise that it will always update the app so that it is relevant to you and/or works with the iOS version that you have installed on your device. However, you promise to always accept updates to the application when offered to you, We may also wish to stop providing the app, and may terminate use of it at any time without giving notice of termination to you. Unless we tell you otherwise, upon any termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end; (b) you must stop using the app, and (if needed) delete it from your device.Changes to this Terms of UseWe may update our Terms of Use from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms of Use on this page.
