Effective date: September 18, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Crochet (“we,” “us,” or “the site”) may collect, why it is used and what choices visitors have. It applies to information collected through this website and should be read together with our Cookie Policy.
Information you provide
We may receive information you voluntarily submit, such as your name, email address and message when you use a contact form, request support, subscribe to updates or leave a comment. Please do not send sensitive personal information. We use submitted information to answer the request, moderate the site, prevent abuse and maintain relevant records.
Information collected automatically
When you visit, hosting, security and analytics systems may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, approximate location, referring page, requested pages, date and time, and diagnostic events. This data helps deliver pages, maintain security, understand aggregate usage and correct technical problems.
Cookies, advertising and Google services
Cookies and similar technologies may remember preferences, measure traffic, prevent fraud and support advertising. If Google AdSense is enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve, personalize and measure ads, subject to visitor choices and applicable law. Google explains how AdSense uses cookies and provides information about data use on partner sites.
Where required, we will request consent before using non-essential technologies. Visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland may be shown a consent message provided through a Google-certified consent management platform. Available choices can depend on location, browser settings and the services active on the site.
Service providers and disclosures
We may use providers for hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, consent management and advertising. They may process information only as necessary to provide their services or meet legal obligations. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights and safety, investigate abuse, or complete a legitimate business transfer. We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.
Data retention and security
We retain information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, legal obligations, dispute resolution and security. No online system can guarantee absolute security, but we use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the site.
Your choices and rights
You can restrict or delete cookies through browser controls, although parts of the site may work differently. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or portability, and to withdraw consent. We may need to verify a request and may retain information when legally permitted or required.
External links and children
Articles may link to third-party websites with their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for those sites. This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13; we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as tools, laws or site practices change. The effective date above identifies the latest published version. Questions or privacy requests can be submitted through the Contact page.
