Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Quiltacy is a personal archive tool for quilters. We collect only what is necessary to provide the service, we do not sell your data, and we do not use your content for advertising or AI training. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

2. Information We Collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your email address. We use this to authenticate you, send account-related notifications (password resets, billing receipts), and occasionally send product updates. You can unsubscribe from non-essential emails at any time.

Quilt records and content

Everything you enter into Quiltacy — quilt names, patterns, fabrics, costs, notes, custom fields, works in progress, and photos — is stored on your behalf so you can access it from any device. This content belongs to you.

Billing information

If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by our payment provider. We do not store your full card number, CVV, or other raw payment data. We receive a customer ID and subscription status from the payment provider to manage your access.

Usage information

We may collect basic technical information such as browser type and general usage patterns to help diagnose issues and improve the service. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, operate, and maintain the Quiltacy service
• To authenticate you and keep your account secure
• To process payments and manage your subscription
• To respond to support requests and contact form messages
• To send transactional emails (receipts, password resets, important account notices)
• To improve the service based on aggregate, anonymized usage patterns

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

Quiltacy uses the following third-party services to operate:

• Supabase — stores your account data, quilt records, and photos. Supabase acts as a data processor on our behalf and does not use your data for its own purposes. Data is stored on servers in the United States.
• Polar — processes subscription payments. Polar acts as the Merchant of Record for your subscription, which means they handle payment processing and tax collection. Their privacy policy governs how they handle your payment information.
• Vercel — hosts and serves the application. Vercel may process request data (such as IP addresses) in the normal course of serving web traffic.

5. Public Gallery

The public gallery feature (Premium plan) lets you share a link to your quilt archive with anyone. When enabled, the quilt records and photos you choose to include are accessible without a login. You control what is shown and can disable the gallery at any time. Disabling it immediately removes public access.

6. Data Retention

Your data is retained for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, your records, photos, and personal information are permanently deleted within 30 days. Billing records may be retained longer where required by law.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Export your quilt records
• Delete your account and all associated data
• Opt out of non-essential communications

To exercise any of these rights, use the contact page.

8. Cookies

Quiltacy uses cookies only for authentication — to keep you signed in between sessions. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels.

9. Children's Privacy

Quiltacy is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and notify you by email. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
