Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Hand Quilting Patterns ("we", "us") collects, uses and protects the information you provide when you visit handquiltingpatterns.com and purchase our digital products. By using this site you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We collect only what we need to process your order and deliver your products:

• Order and contact details — your email address, name and billing information, used to process payment and send your download links.
• Payment information — card and wallet payments are handled by our payment processors (Stripe and PayPal). We never see or store your full card number.
• Usage data — basic analytics (pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser) to understand traffic and improve the site.

How we use your information

• To process your purchase and deliver the digital files you bought.
• To send transactional emails (order confirmation, download links, support replies).
• To measure and improve our marketing and website performance.
• To prevent fraud and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

Who we share data with

We share data only with the service providers that make the store work:

• Stripe and PayPal — payment processing.
• Brevo — transactional email delivery (order and download emails).
• Supabase and Vercel — secure hosting of the site and order records.
• Meta — advertising measurement (see the Cookie Policy).

Data retention

Order records are kept for as long as needed for accounting, support and legal obligations. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under GDPR and similar laws), you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and object to certain processing. Email us at info@handquiltingpatterns.com and we will action your request.

Security

All traffic is encrypted (HTTPS). Payments are processed by PCI-compliant providers. Download links are personal, tracked and rate-limited.
