Privacy

We collect the minimum we need to run a community site and we don't sell or share it.

• Account data: username, display name, email address and a hashed password. Your email is never shown publicly and is used only to identify your account and to answer messages you send us.
• Content: posts, comments, photos and pattern files you upload, plus the date, time and IP address recorded when you make a pattern copyright declaration (kept as evidence of who asserted ownership).
• Technical: ordinary web server logs (IP address, browser, pages requested), kept for a short period for security and to stop abuse. We use a single session cookie so you stay logged in. No advertising or tracking cookies.
• Photos: metadata (EXIF, including location) is stripped from photos when you upload them.

You can see and edit your profile at any time, delete your posts yourself, and ask for your account to be deleted by emailing hello@craftinguk.com from your registered address. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts; you can block that in your browser and the site will use a system font instead.
