Privacy policy

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

This website is provided via GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

When you open a page, GitHub automatically processes technical data transmitted by your browser, in particular:

• IP address
• date and time of access
• the page or file requested
• the previously visited page (referrer), if transmitted
• browser type, operating system and language settings

This data is required to deliver the website, keep it secure and prevent misuse. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; my legitimate interest lies in providing the website securely and reliably. I have no access to these logs myself.

Data may be transferred to the USA in the process. GitHub is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, for which an adequacy decision of the European Commission exists (Art. 45 GDPR). You can find more information in GitHub's privacy statement.

The domain prettycrochetstudio.com is registered with IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. IONOS provides the name resolution (DNS) that allows your browser to find the website. No content of this website is delivered via IONOS. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the padlock icon and “https://” in your browser's address bar.

This website does not set cookies and does not use any analytics, tracking or advertising services. No content from external servers is embedded. The fonts used (Fraunces and Manrope) are stored locally on this website; no connection to servers of Google or other providers is made when you load a page.

If you send me an email, I process your email address and the content of your message in order to answer your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request relates to a contract, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; my legitimate interest lies in answering your request.

For email I use the Gmail service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Your message is stored there. I delete it as soon as it is no longer needed to handle your request and no statutory retention obligations apply.

The pattern generator saves your drafts in your browser's local storage so they are still there on your next visit. This data stays exclusively on your device and is not transmitted to me or any third party. Storing it is strictly necessary for the function you requested (Section 25(2) No. 2 of the German TDDDG). You can delete the data at any time via “Clear part” or in your browser settings.

In the same way, the learning path saves your progress (which lessons you have completed) only in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device either; you can delete it via “Reset progress” or in your browser settings.

The newsletter sign-up on this website is not active yet. An email address entered in the sign-up field is neither transmitted nor stored. As soon as the newsletter launches, this privacy policy will be updated accordingly.

Some links on this website may be affiliate links. If you click such a link and buy something from the partner, I receive a small commission – at no extra cost to you. Only when you click do you leave this website; the partner may then use cookies or similar technologies to attribute the purchase to the link. The partner is responsible for this; I do not receive any personal data about you.

This website contains links to other websites, for example in the sources of the blog posts. When you click such a link, you leave this website. The operators of the linked websites are responsible for any data processing there.

Profiles on Instagram and TikTok: The footer of every page contains links to my profiles on Instagram and TikTok. These are plain links, not embedded content or plugins: opening this website does not connect you to Instagram or TikTok, and no data is sent to them. Only when you click one of the links do you leave this website; the privacy policy of the respective provider then applies. The providers are responsible for the processing on the profile pages themselves.

Within the limits of the law, you have the right at any time to:

• access the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
• rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
• erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR)
• restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR)

Just contact me by email. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), for example the authority responsible for my place of residence.

The PrettyCrochet “Stitch Counter” app for iPhone and iPad does not collect, store or transmit any personal data to me or to third parties. It needs no account, contains no ads, no analytics or tracking services and no third-party libraries.

Your progress (projects, rows, stitches, stitch target, history and settings) is stored only in a file in the app storage of your device. It does not leave your device, unless you yourself enable a backup of your device (for example an iCloud backup); Apple's terms apply to that. If you delete the app, this file is deleted as well.

The “Keep screen on” function merely prevents the display from switching off while you use the app; no data is processed. The links in the app open this website in your browser; sections 2 to 5 of this policy apply to that visit. The download of the app from the App Store is the responsibility of Apple (Apple Distribution International Ltd.); I do not receive any information about you from it.

I update this privacy policy when the website or the legal requirements change – for example when the newsletter launches. The version published here always applies.
