Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and your rights — in plain English, with no hidden agenda.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you contact us via the contact form, enter the Pic of the Month contest, subscribe to our newsletter, or apply as a community partner, we collect the name and email address you provide voluntarily. We never require more information than is necessary to respond to your request.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit this website, standard web server logs may record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This information is used solely for maintaining site security and understanding aggregate traffic patterns. It is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies

This site uses minimal cookies necessary for basic functionality. We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies beyond those introduced by third-party services described below. You may disable cookies in your browser settings; some site features may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.

How We Use Your Information

To Respond to You

Contact form submissions and contest entries are used solely to respond to your enquiry or to administer the monthly giveaway. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is used to send periodic updates about new tutorials, craft tips, and supply recommendations. Every email includes a clear unsubscribe link. We will never share your email with third parties or use it for purposes other than delivering the newsletter you signed up for.

Contest Entries

If you win the Pic of the Month contest and consent to having your photo and name displayed, these will appear publicly on the contest gallery page. We will always ask your permission before publishing your work.

Third-Party Services

Amazon Associates Program

This website participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Your price on Amazon is never affected by whether you arrive via an affiliate link. Full disclosure appears on every page containing affiliate links.

Amazon's Privacy Practices

When you click an Amazon link and make a purchase, Amazon collects information about that transaction in accordance with Amazon's own Privacy Notice, available at https://www.amazon.com/privacy. We do not receive any personal information about you from Amazon beyond aggregate commission reports.

Pinterest

This site includes Pinterest Save buttons and Open Graph metadata designed to facilitate sharing on Pinterest. Pinterest's privacy practices are governed by Pinterest's own Privacy Policy. We do not share your personal data with Pinterest.

Remixer / DreamHost Hosting

This website is hosted on the DreamHost Remixer platform. DreamHost processes server logs and form submission data as a data processor on our behalf in accordance with DreamHost's own Privacy Policy.

Data Retention & Security

How Long We Keep Data

Contact form submissions and contest entries are retained for up to 12 months for the sole purpose of administering contests and responding to queries. Newsletter subscriber records are retained until you unsubscribe. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

Security Measures

All data transmitted to and from this website is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). Form submissions are processed through a secure serverless endpoint. We do not store payment card information — all purchases are processed entirely through Amazon's secure checkout infrastructure.

Your Rights

You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, and to request deletion of your data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via the contact form.

Changes to This Policy

Policy Updates

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
