Website Privacy Policy

This privacy policy covers my website – https://www.madamestitch.com.  I respect your privacy and I am committed to protecting it.  I want you to have the best possible experience when interacting with MadameStitch.  The privacy policy that follows outlines what information may be collected and how it may be used.

What personal data we collect, why we collect it and how we use it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, the data shown in the comments form is collected for verification purposes, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.  An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.  Visitor comments are checked through Akismet, an automated spam detection service.  Reminder: Be careful what personal information you share in the comments you make, including images you may upload with embedded location data.  The comments are public and can be seen by anyone who visits MadameStitch.

Contact Forms

Information you share through a contact form is only used to communicate with you, unless you have specifically given your permission for it to be collected and otherwise used.  This information will never be used for marketing purposes, only for customer service.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment.

Embedded Content from other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.).
