Welcome to Crochet Baby Dress (accessible at https://crochetbabydress.com/). We deeply respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you may share while browsing our free crochet patterns, stitching guides, and baby garment tutorials.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we safeguard your data, and your rights concerning personal information in compliance with the Google AdSense Policy, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two main ways: information you provide voluntarily and information collected automatically through cookies and web technologies.

• Voluntary Information: If you contact us via our Contact Form or subscribe to our newsletter/free crochet bundle, you may provide your name and email address.
• Log Files: Like most standard web servers, Crochet Baby Dress utilizes log files. These files log visitors to the site—a standard procedure for hosting services and analytics. Information collected includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. This data is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
• Cookies and Web Beacons: We use cookies to store information about visitors’ preferences, record user-specific information on which pages the visitor accesses, and customize web page content based on browser type.

2. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other advertising partners. Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are sent directly to users’ browsers.

These third-party vendors automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.

Note: Crochet Baby Dress has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

3. Third-Party Privacy Policies

Crochet Baby Dress’s Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.

Crochet Baby Dress does not sell your personal data.

6. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important to us.
