Privacy Policy

Overview

QuiltKeeper Studio (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a personal organization app made for quilters. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use quiltkeeperstudio.com and the QuiltKeeper Studio application, how we use that information, and what choices you have.

We take your privacy seriously. Your quilting data — your projects, fabric stash, patterns, notes, and photos — belongs to you and is private by default. We never sell it, share it with third parties for marketing, or use it to train machine learning models. (You can choose to make individual projects or patterns public; see Public Sharing below.)

Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Account information — your name, email address, and username when you create an account. Your username and display name may be shown alongside any content you choose to make public (see Public Sharing below).
• App content — quilt projects, fabric entries, pattern records, notes, measurements, and photos you add to QuiltKeeper Studio.
• Payment information — if you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by a PCI-compliant third-party provider. We do not store your full card details.
• Communications — if you contact us by email, we keep that correspondence to help resolve your issue.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data — pages visited, features used, and general interaction patterns within the app. This helps us understand which features are valuable.
• Device and log data — browser type, operating system, IP address, and timestamps for troubleshooting and security purposes.
• Cookies and similar technologies — see the Cookies section below.

How We Use Your Information

• To create and maintain your account
• To operate, maintain, and improve QuiltKeeper Studio
• To process subscription payments and send receipts
• To respond to your support requests
• To send occasional product updates or announcements (you can opt out at any time)
• To detect and prevent fraud or abuse
• To comply with legal obligations

We never sell your personal information or your quilting content, and we never use it to train machine-learning models. QuiltKeeper Studio is supported by affiliate links, sponsorships, and advertising; any affiliate or sponsored content is clearly labeled.

Public Sharing

By default, all of your quilting content — projects, patterns, and related data — is completely private and visible only to you.

QuiltKeeper Studio includes an optional public sharing feature. You can mark individual projects or patterns as “Public,” which makes them visible to other signed-in QuiltKeeper Studio members in the Browse/Discover feed. This is entirely opt-in and can be changed at any time — switching an item back to private removes it from the feed immediately.

When content is marked public, your username and display name appear alongside it. Public content is only accessible to authenticated QuiltKeeper Studio members — it is not visible to the general public or indexed by search engines.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

QuiltKeeper Studio uses cookies, browser local storage, and similar technologies for the purposes described below. We group them into three categories.

Strictly necessary

Our authentication provider (Supabase) sets a session cookie and a related local storage entry that keep you signed in across visits. These are required for the app to function and are not subject to consent. We also store your cookie-banner choice itself in local storage so we don’t prompt you again on every visit.

Analytics (consent required)

We use PostHog to understand which features are used and where people get stuck. PostHog is initialized when you load the app but captures nothing until you click Accept on the cookie banner. If you decline, or simply ignore the banner, no analytics events are sent.

When you accept, PostHog may collect:

• An anonymized device identifier
• URLs of pages you visit within the app, including page views and page leaves
• Interaction events such as signup, project_created, pattern_added, and newsletter_optin
• Browser and device metadata (browser type and version, operating system, screen size, approximate region from IP address)

Anonymous visitors are not given a profile. Once you sign in, your events are linked to a profile identified by your Supabase user id and email address so we can answer questions like “does this feature actually get used after signup?”

Analytics data is processed by PostHog Inc. in the United States on their US cloud instance (us.i.posthog.com).

Error reporting

We use Sentry to capture crash reports and a 10% sample of performance traces so we can find and fix bugs. Sentry records stack traces, the URL where the error occurred, browser and OS metadata, and limited request information, which may include your IP address. We treat Sentry as a strictly necessary service-reliability tool and it runs without a separate consent prompt. It does not capture the contents of your quilting projects, fabric stash, or photos.

Your choices

You can change your analytics-cookie choice at any time inside the app. Sign in, open your account or profile menu, go to the Legal section, and under Analytics cookies choose Turn on or Turn off. The change takes effect immediately.

You can also disable cookies through your browser settings, but disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in.

Third-Party Service Providers

QuiltKeeper Studio relies on a small number of vendors to run the service. Each is contractually required to protect your data and may only use it on our behalf.

• Supabase — authentication, database, and file storage for your account and quilting library. Supabase privacy policy
• PostHog — product analytics, only active after you accept analytics cookies. PostHog privacy policy
• Sentry — crash and error reporting to keep the app reliable. Sentry privacy policy

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited information with:

• Service providers — companies that help us operate QuiltKeeper Studio (cloud hosting, payment processing, email delivery). These providers are contractually required to protect your data and may only use it to perform services on our behalf.
• Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of QuiltKeeper Studio or its users.

Data Retention

We keep your account and app data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or financial record-keeping purposes.

You can request a copy of your data at any time, and you can delete your account and its data whenever you choose.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

• The right to access the personal information we hold about you
• The right to correct inaccurate information
• The right to delete your account and associated data
• The right to receive a copy of your data in a portable format
• The right to opt out of marketing emails

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@quiltkeeperstudio.com.

Children’s Privacy

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

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If changes are significant, we will notify you by email or through the app. Your continued use of QuiltKeeper Studio after a policy change constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, we’d love to hear from you.
