Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026

Crochhet (“Crochhet,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates www.crochhet.com, a website offering crochet content. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we use it, and the choices available to you. Crochhet is based in the United States and can be contacted at [email protected].

Information we collect

Information you provide. If you contact us or sign up for emails, we collect the name and email address you provide, along with the content of your message or request.

Comments. If you leave a comment on a post, we collect your comment, name, email address, and any website address you choose to provide. Our website software may also record your IP address and browser information to help moderate comments and prevent spam. Your name and comment may be visible to other visitors. Your email address is not displayed with the comment.

Website activity. When you visit the site, we and our service providers may receive information such as your IP address, browser and device details, approximate location, pages viewed, referring page, and visit times. We use Google Analytics to understand site traffic. The site also loads Google tags and Cloudflare Insights.

You can browse the site without signing up for emails or posting a comment. If you choose not to provide the information requested for those features, we may be unable to provide them.

How we use information

We use personal information to respond to messages, send emails to people who sign up for them, publish and moderate comments, operate and protect the website, understand how visitors use it, and display and measure advertising. We may also use information to comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

Email marketing

If you subscribe to Crochhet emails, we use your name and email address to send the content you requested and related updates. We use MailerLite to manage our subscriber list and send marketing emails. MailerLite may use technologies that help us understand newsletter delivery and engagement. You can unsubscribe using the link in a marketing email or by emailing [email protected].

Cookies and similar technologies

The site and its service providers use cookies, tags, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember comment details if you choose that option, measure website activity, and support advertising. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish visitors and sessions. Google AdSense and other advertising vendors may place or read cookies, use web beacons, or receive IP addresses to deliver and measure ads. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and any privacy choices provided on the site. Blocking some cookies may affect site features.

Advertising and affiliate links

Crochhet displays ads through Google AdSense. Google and other advertising vendors may receive information about your visit, such as your IP address, browser details, pages viewed, and identifiers from cookies or similar technologies. They may use that information to select and measure ads, including ads based on your visits to this and other websites when personalized advertising is enabled. You can manage Google’s personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Crochhet also includes affiliate links. If you follow one, the destination website may use cookies or other tracking to attribute a purchase, and Crochhet may earn a commission. The destination website’s privacy policy applies to its collection and use of your information.

Legal bases for UK and EU visitors

Where UK or EU data protection law applies, we rely on your consent for email marketing and for optional analytics and advertising technologies where consent is required. We rely on our legitimate interests to respond to requests, provide and moderate comments, secure the website, and understand its performance, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. We may also process information when needed to comply with a legal obligation. You can withdraw consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link, available cookie controls, or contacting us.

When information is shared

We share information with service providers that help us host and secure the site, deliver marketing emails, measure site use, and deliver advertising. These include our website host, MailerLite, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Cloudflare, and other advertising partners involved in ad delivery. Affiliate partners may receive information when you follow an affiliate link. A comment you choose to post may be visible publicly. If you use a social sharing link, the destination service handles information under its own privacy practices. We may also disclose information when required by law or needed to protect our rights and users.

International transfers

Crochhet is based in the United States, so information from visitors in other countries may be processed in the United States. Our service providers may process information in other countries as well. MailerLite states that it uses applicable transfer safeguards for subscriber information. You can contact us for information about safeguards relevant to your data.

How long we keep information

We keep mailing list details while you are subscribed. After you unsubscribe, we may retain a minimal record of your choice to prevent further marketing messages or meet legal obligations. We keep correspondence for as long as needed to address the request and maintain appropriate records. We keep comments while they remain published or are needed for moderation, unless we remove them or receive a valid deletion request. Analytics, advertising, and server data are kept according to the settings and retention schedules of the relevant services.

Your privacy choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information; to object to or restrict certain uses; to receive a copy of information you provided; to withdraw consent; or to opt out of certain targeted advertising or data sharing. To make a request, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. UK and EU visitors may also complain to their local data protection authority.

Children

Crochhet is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please email [email protected] so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our practices change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. We will post the revised version on this page.
