Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 17, 2026

Welcome to CrochetKit AI! Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how CrochetKit AI ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you use our website and services (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

Yarn Stash Data: When you add yarn to your stash, this information (yarn weight, yardage, hook size, notes, image URL) is stored locally in your browser's localStorage. If you use our "Share My Stash" feature, this data is temporarily sent to our server to generate a shareable URL and then encoded into that URL. We do not permanently store your stash data on our servers unless you choose to create an account and explicitly save it.
Contact Form Submissions: If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message. This information is stored on our server in data/contacts.json to allow us to respond to your inquiries.
Feedback: If you submit feedback on pattern matches, we collect the project title, your rating, comments, and the input you provided for the match. This is stored on our server in data/feedback.json to help us improve our matching algorithm.
Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage data such as the number of pattern matches requested. This data helps us understand how our service is used and is stored in data/match-count.json.
Cookies and Local Storage: We use browser localStorage to remember your yarn stash, your filter preferences, and your dark mode preference. We do not use traditional cookies for tracking purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

To provide, maintain, and improve our Service, including our pattern matching algorithm.
To respond to your comments, questions, and requests when you contact us.
To analyze usage trends and enhance the user experience.
To develop new features and functionalities.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not share, sell, or rent your personal information to third parties. Your yarn stash data, if shared via the "Share My Stash" URL, is visible to anyone with that URL.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. However, no internet transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

5. Your Choices

Local Storage: You can clear your browser's localStorage at any time to remove your saved yarn stash and filter preferences.
Opt-Out of Communications: If you have contacted us, you can request to have your contact information removed from our records.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information from our files as soon as possible.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
