We will not knowingly sell your email address or personal information to third parties.

Contact Forms and Email Correspondence

If you contact Craft Makr through a contact form or email, we may retain your name, email address, message, and other information you voluntarily provide so that we can respond to you and maintain appropriate records of our communications.

Depending on the tools used, contact information may be processed through our website hosting provider, email provider, form provider, or other service providers necessary to operate the Website.

We may retain correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, maintain business records, resolve disputes, establish or defend legal claims, or comply with applicable obligations.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Craft Makr may use cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the Website.

Cookies may be used for purposes such as:

  • Essential Website functionality
  • Security
  • Remembering preferences
  • Understanding Website traffic and usage
  • Analytics
  • Affiliate tracking
  • Marketing or advertising measurement, where applicable

The particular cookies and technologies used may change as the Website develops.

Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we will provide an appropriate consent mechanism.

You may also be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect Website functionality.

Analytics

Craft Makr may use analytics services in the future to understand how visitors use the Website and to improve its content and functionality.

If analytics services are enabled, information may be processed by the relevant third-party provider in accordance with that provider’s privacy policy and applicable law.

This Privacy Policy will be updated when material changes are made to the analytics technologies used by the Website.

Affiliate Links

Craft Makr may participate in affiliate marketing programs.

Some links on the Website may be affiliate links, meaning Craft Makr may receive a commission or other benefit if you make a qualifying purchase after clicking a link.

Affiliate networks and merchants may use cookies, tracking links, or similar technologies to attribute purchases or referrals.

Where affiliate links are used, we will endeavor to identify them clearly and transparently.

Your interaction with an affiliate merchant or external website is also subject to that third party’s own privacy policy and terms.

Third-Party Platforms and Services

Craft Makr may use third-party platforms and services to operate the Website, communicate with visitors, distribute content, conduct marketing, analyze Website usage, or sell digital products.

These may include, depending on the services we use:

  • Website hosting and WordPress-related services
  • Email marketing providers
  • Analytics providers
  • Affiliate networks
  • Social-media platforms
  • Payment or commerce platforms
  • Etsy
  • Ravelry
  • Other digital marketplaces or service providers

When you purchase a Craft Makr digital product through Etsy, Ravelry, or another third-party marketplace, that transaction is processed through the relevant platform. The marketplace may collect and process information according to its own privacy policy and terms.

Craft Makr does not currently process payment card information through www.craftmakr.com.

Social Media

Craft Makr may maintain accounts or pages on social-media platforms and may link to or reference content hosted on those platforms.

If you interact with Craft Makr through a social-media platform, the platform may independently collect and process your personal information according to its own policies.

Craft Makr does not control the privacy practices of third-party social-media platforms.

External Websites and Links

The Website may contain links to websites operated by third parties.

These links may include:

  • Affiliate partners
  • Digital marketplaces
  • Crafting resources
  • Social-media platforms
  • References and research sources
  • Other websites we believe may be useful to our audience

Craft Makr is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of external websites.

You should review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.

AI and Personal Information

Craft Makr may use artificial intelligence and AI-assisted tools as part of research, brainstorming, editing, content development, image creation or modification, and other creative or operational activities.

We do not intentionally use publicly submitted personal information for AI-related purposes unless there is a legitimate and appropriate basis for doing so.

You should avoid submitting sensitive personal information through contact forms, comments, social media, or other communications with Craft Makr.

Where AI tools process personal information, Craft Makr will take reasonable steps to use such tools consistently with applicable privacy requirements and the purposes for which information was collected.

Our approach to AI is described in greater detail in the separate Craft Makr AI Policy.

Children’s Privacy

Craft Makr is intended for a general audience and is not designed to contain adult or age-restricted content.

Children and young people may view Craft Makr’s creative content. However, we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children for unnecessary purposes.

If a child or young person wishes to contact Craft Makr, subscribe to an email list, participate in a promotion, or otherwise provide personal information, they should do so with the involvement or permission of a parent or legal guardian where required by applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to Craft Makr in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact us at hello@craftmaker.com.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

Craft Makr may disclose personal information to third parties where reasonably necessary for legitimate purposes, including:

  • Service providers that help us operate the Website
  • Email marketing providers
  • Hosting and technical service providers
  • Analytics providers
  • Affiliate networks
  • Legal, regulatory, or government authorities where required or permitted by law
  • Professional advisers or service providers where reasonably necessary
  • Other parties where you have provided appropriate authorization or where disclosure is otherwise permitted by law

We do not sell personal information as a business practice.

International Transfers

Because Craft Makr operates online and may use service providers located outside the Philippines, your information may be processed or stored in another country.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, Craft Makr will take reasonable steps to use appropriate safeguards and comply with applicable privacy requirements.

Third-party service providers may have their own international data-transfer practices, which are governed by their respective privacy policies.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate business purposes, to maintain appropriate records, to comply with legal obligations, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal or operational requirements.

Data Security

Craft Makr takes reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction.

However, no website, online transmission, email communication, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
