Effective date: [DATE]

This policy explains how All About Crochet (“we”, “us”) handles information when you visit allaboutcrochet.online.

Who we are

All About Crochet is operated by [SITE OWNER NAME / COMPANY], [ADDRESS]. You can contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL] or through our contact page.

Information we collect

Information you give us

  • Newsletter. If you subscribe, we collect your email address. It is processed by our email provider, [NEWSLETTER PROVIDER].
  • Contact form. If you contact us, we collect your name, email address, the topic and your message so we can reply.

Information stored on your device

Some features work entirely in your browser using local storage. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us:

  • patterns you save to your Saved patterns list;
  • rows and rounds you tick off on pattern pages;
  • your cookie and privacy choices.

Information collected automatically

  • Server logs. Our hosting provider, [HOSTING PROVIDER, e.g. Vercel], processes technical information such as IP address, browser type and pages requested to deliver and secure the site.
  • Analytics (only if enabled and, where required, with your consent). [If you use Google Analytics 4 and/or Microsoft Clarity, describe what they collect here. Remove this item if you don’t use analytics.]

Advertising (only if enabled)

[Include this section only if the site displays Google AdSense or other ads.]

We may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google’s advertising cookies let Google and its partners serve ads based on those visits. You can turn off personalized advertising in Google’s Ads Settings, and learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services. [List any other ad vendors and their opt-out links.]

How we use information

  • To send the newsletter you asked for.
  • To respond to messages and correction reports.
  • To keep the site secure and working properly.
  • To understand which content is useful (only if analytics is enabled).
  • To show advertising that helps fund free content (only if ads are enabled).

Where laws such as the GDPR apply, we rely on consent (newsletter, optional cookies), legitimate interests (security, responding to messages) and legal obligations where relevant. [Confirm with your advisor.]

Sharing

We don’t sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site — [LIST: hosting, email/newsletter, analytics, advertising] — and when required by law.

International transfers

Some providers may process data outside your country. [Describe safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, where required.]

How long we keep information

  • Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe [plus any period your provider requires].
  • Contact messages: [e.g. up to 12 months] unless needed longer to resolve an issue.
  • Server logs: according to our hosting provider’s retention settings.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or download your information, to object to or restrict processing and to withdraw consent at any time. California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA. To make a request, contact [CONTACT EMAIL].

You can change your cookie choices at any time using Cookie preferences in the site footer (shown when optional cookies are in use), and unsubscribe from emails using the link in any newsletter.

Children

This site is not directed to children under [13 / 16], and we don’t knowingly collect their personal information.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Changes

We will update this policy when our practices change and revise the effective date above.
