Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how StitchCounter.net (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our website and stitch counting tools.

  • Server logs: standard web logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamps) used for security, debugging, and reliability.
  • Messages you send: if you contact us via the contact page, we receive what you submit.

What we do not collect by default

  • No user accounts or passwords are required to use the counter.
  • No financial or payment information.

Legal bases (EEA/UK)

  • Legitimate interests for basic analytics, reliability, and site security
  • Consent when required (e.g., optional cookies, if ever introduced)

Retention

Contact messages are retained as long as needed to reply and maintain records. Logs and analytics may be kept for a limited time in line with operational needs.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers who support site hosting, security, or analytics—under confidentiality and data protection obligations. We may also disclose information if required by law or necessary to protect rights or system integrity.

  • California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA; you can also contact us to make a request.

Cookies & analytics

If analytics tools are used, we aim for privacy-respecting, minimal data configurations. If non-essential cookies are ever introduced, we will provide clear notice and controls where required by law.

Data security

We use reasonable measures to protect data, recognizing that no internet system can be guaranteed fully secure.

Children

This site is not intended for children under 13 (or the age required by local law). If you believe a child submitted personal information, contact us so we can delete it.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy over time. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify users (e.g., a notice posted on the site).
