Privacy Policy
At CrochetRooms, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data. It was last updated on October 10, 2026.
Who we are
CrochetRooms is a website offering free, tested crochet patterns, run by Nora. If you have any questions about this policy or your personal data, you can reach us at any time through our Contact page.
What data we collect
We only collect the information we genuinely need to run the site:
- Newsletter signup: when you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address so we can send you free patterns, printable PDFs, and updates.
- Contact form: when you send us a message through our contact form, we collect the name, email address, subject, and message you provide so we can read and reply to your enquiry.
- Cookies: we use basic cookies for site functionality, such as remembering your display preferences (for example dark mode) and whether you have already signed up for the newsletter. These cookies are not used to track you across other websites.
- Anonymized analytics: we collect aggregated, anonymized statistics about how visitors use the site (for example which pages are popular). This data cannot be used to identify you personally.
How we use your data
We use the information we collect to send you the patterns and updates you asked for, to reply to your messages, and to understand which content our readers enjoy so we can improve the site. We do not use your data for any other purpose.
We never sell your personal data
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone. Your email address and messages stay with us and are only shared with the third-party services described below, which are necessary to operate the site.
Third-party services
To run CrochetRooms we rely on a small number of trusted third-party services:
- Email delivery: our newsletter is sent through an email delivery service, which processes your email address solely to deliver the messages you subscribed to.
- Analytics: we use an analytics service that processes anonymized usage statistics to help us understand overall traffic patterns. This data is aggregated and cannot identify individual visitors.
Data retention
We keep your data only for as long as it is needed. Newsletter subscription details are kept until you unsubscribe, at which point your email address is removed from our mailing list. Messages sent through the contact form are kept only as long as necessary to handle your enquiry. Anonymized analytics data contains no personal information and may be retained indefinitely.
Your rights
You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, and to ask us to delete it. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through our Contact page and we will respond as soon as possible.
Children’s privacy
CrochetRooms is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we run the site or in legal requirements. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
