Privacy Policy

At feltfox.com, we know you come here for felt crafts, amigurumi patterns, and cozy handmade project ideas — not to worry about your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect when you visit our site, why we collect it, how we protect it, and what choices you have. If anything here is unclear, reach out anytime at [email protected].

What Information We Collect

We keep data collection minimal and purposeful. Depending on how you interact with feltfox.com, we may collect:

• Contact form data: your name, email address, and message content when you reach out through our Contact page.
• Comments: if you leave a comment on a tutorial or pattern post, we collect the name, email, and content you submit, along with the timestamp and, in some cases, your IP address for spam prevention.
• Technical and analytics data: browser type, device information, approximate location, pages visited, and time spent on the site, gathered through analytics tools to help us understand which crafts and tutorials readers enjoy most.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device to remember preferences and measure site performance. Full details are available in our Cookie Policy.

Why We Collect This Data

We only process personal data for clear, legitimate reasons, including:

• Responding to your questions, feedback, or collaboration requests.
• Publishing and moderating comments on our craft tutorials and pattern posts.
• Improving our content — for example, understanding whether readers prefer coaster patterns, closet organization guides, or seasonal projects.
• Maintaining site security and preventing spam or abuse.
• Meeting legal obligations where applicable.

Legal Basis for Processing

For visitors covered by the GDPR or similar regional laws, we rely on the following legal bases: your consent (for example, when you submit a comment or contact form), our legitimate interest in operating and improving a helpful craft resource, and, occasionally, legal obligation when required by law. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us; this won't affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Cookies

Cookies help our site function properly and let us see which tutorials — like animal coaster patterns or small closet organization layouts — get the most engagement. Some cookies are essential for basic functionality, while others support analytics. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. For a full breakdown of the cookies we use and how to control them, please see our dedicated Cookie Policy.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data — ever. We may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers who help us run the site, such as web hosting companies, email delivery services, comment moderation tools, and analytics platforms. These providers are only given the data necessary to perform their specific function and are expected to handle it securely and confidentially. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and property of feltfox.com and our readers.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Contact form messages and comment data are generally kept for a reasonable period to allow follow-up and moderation, after which they may be archived or deleted. Analytics data is typically aggregated or anonymized over time. If you'd like your data removed sooner, just email us and we'll take care of it.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes secure hosting practices and limiting access to personal data to those who genuinely need it. That said, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security — but we take the responsibility seriously.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request deletion of your personal data.
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at [email protected] with a clear description of your request. We'll respond as promptly as possible, typically within 30 days.

Children's Privacy

While many of our tutorials — including kids' crafts and toys — are designed to be enjoyed by families, feltfox.com is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it promptly.

Third-Party Links and Related Policies

Our tutorials sometimes link to external tools, supply shops, or inspiration sources; we're not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites. For more context on how we source and present content, see our Editorial Policy and our Disclaimer. Details on how we use referral or partner links can be found in our Affiliate Disclaimer. Our general site rules and usage terms are outlined in our Terms of Use.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page, and continued use of feltfox.com after changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please reach out to us anytime through our Contact page or by emailing [email protected]. We're happy to help.
