Information we receive

When you contact us, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, project link and message. Our hosting provider also processes technical request information, including IP addresses, browser details and error logs, to serve and secure the website.

Measurement and advertising

We use site-performance measurement to identify pages that need improvement. Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager may also measure visits when enabled. Advertising technology on the site can include Google AdSense and HBAgency; advertising availability depends on provider arrangements and the visitor's location and choices. Partners may process device identifiers, cookies, page requests and approximate location for advertising, reporting and fraud prevention. Google explains its data practices at How Google uses information from partner sites.

Cookies and your choices

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland may be shown Google's Privacy & messaging notice, which offers the choices Consent, Do not consent and Manage options. You may review or withdraw your decision through the Privacy and cookie settings control wherever the notice is available. Our Cookie information page explains more. You can also manage cookies in your browser and personalized ads in Google My Ad Center.

Images and outside services

Some crochet images are delivered by third-party image hosts; Pinterest links open Pinterest, and video lessons may be hosted by YouTube. Those providers may receive technical information when a resource loads or when you choose to visit their websites. Their own privacy policies apply.

Your rights and retention

Depending on your location, you may be entitled to request access, correction or deletion of certain personal information or object to its processing. We keep correspondence only as needed to respond, protect the site or satisfy legal requirements. For requests, use our contact page.
