This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our website.
Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to provide and improve our free cross stitch tools:
- Usage Data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our site (pages visited, time spent, device type). This helps us understand which tools are most useful.
- Local Storage: Our tools (like the DMC Thread Checker) save your data locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain our free tools
- To understand how our tools are used so we can improve them
- To detect and prevent technical issues
Data Storage
Your thread collection, stash data, and tool preferences are stored only in your browser's localStorage. We do not have access to this data. If you clear your browser data, this information will be lost.
Third Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics: For anonymous usage statistics. You can opt out using browser extensions or privacy settings.
- Google Fonts: For typography. Google may collect anonymous usage data.
Cookies
We use cookies only through Google Analytics for anonymous traffic analysis. Our tools themselves do not set cookies they use localStorage instead.
