Privacy Policy

You can browse the site and use its pattern tools without creating an account. We do not ask you to provide a name or account profile. If you email us, we receive the email address and the message you choose to send, and use them to respond and address your request.

The site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand visits and improve the site. Analytics may process information such as pages viewed, interactions with site features, browser and device details, referral information, and approximate location. Google may use cookies or similar technologies for its analytics service. See Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy for information about Google's handling of data.

Images selected in the image-to-pattern maker are decoded and converted in your browser; the converter does not upload the selected image to our server. The temporary image preview is held by your browser while the page is open.

The editor saves your working grid and settings in your browser's local storage so you can return to your draft on that browser. A one-time session storage item may pass a converted grid from the pattern maker to the editor, and is cleared after it is read. This browser data is not an account backup and may be removed by clearing site data or using another browser or device.

We use analytics information to understand site usage and improve pages and tools. We use messages sent to our support email to reply, investigate reported issues, and improve the service. We do not sell personal information submitted to us by email.

Google Analytics is provided by Google and is subject to Google's own terms and privacy practices. The site may link to third-party websites; their privacy practices are controlled by those providers. We do not control third-party sites or services.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Google also provides information about its advertising and privacy controls at My Ad Center and an Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

As of the date above, this site does not display third-party advertisements. If advertising services are added, this policy will be updated to explain the relevant data use and choices.

The site is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly ask children to submit personal information. A parent or guardian who believes a child has sent us personal information can contact us and ask us to delete the message.

We may update this policy when site features or data practices change. The updated date at the top of this page indicates the latest revision. For privacy questions or requests, email hi@perlerbeadpatterns.org.
