1. Who We Are
This Privacy Policy applies to the website cross-stitch.app (the "Site"), operated by Cross-Stitch.app, an independent digital pattern design studio. Our contact email address is altyn975@gmail.com.
2. What This Site Does
Cross-stitch.app is a showcase and redirect website. Its primary purpose is to display our cross stitch pattern catalogue and direct visitors to our Etsy shop (etsy.com/shop/CrossStitchApp) where purchases can be made. All transactions and product delivery take place on Etsy — not on this website.
3. Information We Collect
We do not collect, store, or process any personal information directly through this website. Specifically:
- We do not operate any registration or login system.
- We do not use contact forms that store your details.
- We do not collect email addresses through this website.
- We do not process payment information.
Our web hosting provider may automatically record standard server log data, which can include your IP address, the pages you request, your browser type, and the date and time of your visit. This data is retained for a maximum of 30 days and is used solely for security and technical maintenance purposes. It is not linked to any personal profile.
4. Cookies
This website does not set any cookies of its own. We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or tracking purposes.
If you follow a link from this site to Etsy or Pinterest, those third-party platforms may set their own cookies, subject to their own privacy policies.
5. Image Delivery via Google Drive
Pattern preview images displayed on this website are served from Google Drive using a server-side proxy. When you load a page with pattern images, our server makes a request to the Google Drive API on your behalf and delivers the image to your browser. Your browser does not communicate directly with Google Drive; however, Google's standard data processing practices apply to the server-to-server request. No personal data about you is sent to Google as part of this process.
6. Third-Party Links
This website contains links to third-party websites, primarily:
- Etsy (Privacy Policy) — our sales platform.
- Pinterest (Privacy Policy) — social media platform.
We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with them.
7. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable data protection laws (such as the GDPR for EEA residents or the CCPA for California residents), including the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your data.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
Because we do not collect personal data through this website, most of these rights are unlikely to apply. However, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at altyn975@gmail.com.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect this website from unauthorised access. Sensitive files (such as server credentials) are stored outside the publicly accessible web directory and are not accessible via the browser.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is always available at cross-stitch.app/privacy.php. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
