Stitch Briar Hollow Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://stitchbriarhollow.com
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics & Marketing
We use third-party tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel to understand how visitors use our site and to improve your experience. These tools may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site.
This data helps us see what’s working and tailor our content, products, and promotions.
Email Sign-Ups & Memberships
If you sign up for our newsletter, memberships, or other community features, we collect your name and email address to send updates, exclusive content, offers, and information related to Stitch Briar Hollow. You can unsubscribe at any time by following the link in our emails.
E‑Commerce & Payments
When you purchase a product, pattern, or membership, we collect the necessary information (such as your name, email address, billing/shipping information, and payment details) to process your order.
We do not store your payment information on our servers. All transactions are processed securely through trusted payment providers (like PayPal or Stripe).
Who We Share Your Data With
We may share limited data with third-party service providers (such as Google, Facebook, payment processors, and email service providers) to help us run the site, process transactions, and provide services. These providers have their own privacy policies regarding how they handle your information.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our site (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
