How Stitchline Protects Your Tailoring Data
Clear technical standards across local desktop and multi-device cloud environments.
100% Local Data Sovereignty (Offline Desktop)
The Tailor Desktop edition runs on an embedded local SQLite database. Customer body measurements, sales ledgers, and contact details remain entirely on your Windows PC with zero external telemetry or cloud dependencies.
AES-256 Cloud Encryption
All cloud database storage in the Boutique Cloud Edition is encrypted at rest using AES-256 standard and in transit via TLS 1.3 encryption, ensuring your client profiles remain strictly confidential.
Granular Role-Based Access Control
Grant cutting masters, seamstresses, and counter staff access only to the screens they need. Keep overall shop financials, master pricing formulas, and supplier costs restricted to Admin accounts.
Automated Daily Backups & Single-Click Restore
Cloud databases are backed up automatically every 24 hours across multi-region offsite clusters. Desktop users can generate timestamped database backup archives with a single click.
Dedicated Isolated Databases & Private Cloud
Enterprise boutique chains and large manufacturing plants can deploy Stitchline on dedicated private instances (AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean) with isolated tenancy.
Zero Third-Party Data Monetization
Your customer data belongs solely to your business. Stitchline never sells, mines, or shares customer naap records, phone numbers, or invoice data with advertisers or third parties.

Frequently Asked Security Questions
Can Stitchline staff view my customer measurements or financial books?
For Desktop Edition users, no—your database stays exclusively on your PC. For Cloud Edition users, data is strictly isolated and encrypted; our engineering support staff only access telemetry or specific logs with your explicit permission during live support sessions.
What happens if my PC crashes with the Desktop Edition?
Stitchline Desktop provides a single-click backup export tool. We advise saving regular backup copies to an external USB drive or private Google Drive/Dropbox folder. Reinstalling Stitchline and loading the backup takes under 60 seconds.
Is Stitchline GDPR and data privacy compliant?
Yes. Stitchline adheres to global data privacy principles including right-to-erasure (deleting client profiles completely) and complete data portability (exporting client ledgers to Excel/CSV).
