Welcome to Crochet Tribe (“we”, “us”, or “our”), located at https://www.crochettribe.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, which operates as an Amazon Affiliate blog, uses Google AdSense ads, and participates in general affiliate programs. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect two types of information about you: personal information and non-personal information.

1.1 Personal Information

Personal information is data that can be used to identify you individually. We may collect personal information in the following ways:

• Voluntary Submissions: When you contact us via email (e.g., at support@crochettribe.com), subscribe to our newsletter (if available), leave comments on blog posts, or participate in surveys or contests (if offered), you may provide information such as your name, email address, and any other details you choose to share.
• Affiliate and Advertising Partners: If you make a purchase through our Amazon Affiliate links, Google AdSense interactions, or other affiliate program links, our partners may share limited personal information with us (e.g., purchase confirmation details) to track commissions. This information is governed by the privacy policies of our affiliate partners (see Section 4 for details).

1.2 Non-Personal Information

Non-personal information is data that cannot identify you individually. We may collect this information automatically when you visit our website:

• Technical Data: This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, and the pages you visit on our website, as well as the date and time of your visit and the amount of time spent on each page.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking tools to collect non-personal information. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us improve your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and track the performance of our affiliate links and ads. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may affect the functionality of our website and your ability to use certain features (e.g., tracking affiliate purchases).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain our website, including troubleshooting and improving its performance.
• To respond to your inquiries, comments, or support requests sent to support@crochettribe.com.
• To track affiliate activity (e.g., purchases made through our Amazon Affiliate links) to ensure we receive proper commissions and to optimize our affiliate content.
• To display personalized Google AdSense ads based on your browsing behavior (you can opt out of personalized ads through Google’s Ad Settings).
• To analyze website traffic and user behavior (using tools like Google Analytics) to improve our content, design, and user experience.
• To comply with legal obligations, such as responding to lawful requests from government authorities.

3. How We Protect Your Information

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• Using secure email communication for inquiries sent to support@crochettribe.com.
• Limiting access to personal information to only those team members who need it to perform their job functions.
• Regularly updating our website’s security protocols to address emerging threats.

Please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

4. Disclosure of Your Information to Third Parties

We may share your information with third parties in the following circumstances:

• Affiliate Partners: We share non-personal and limited personal information with our affiliate partners (e.g., Amazon Associates, other general affiliate programs) to track affiliate transactions and calculate commissions. These partners are bound by their own privacy policies, and we do not control their data practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these partners (e.g., Amazon Associates Privacy Policy).
• Google AdSense and Google Analytics: We use Google AdSense for advertising and Google Analytics for traffic analysis. These services collect data about your use of our website (including IP address, browsing behavior) and may share this data with Google. Google’s use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and Google Terms of Service. You can learn more about Google’s data practices and opt out of certain tracking through Google’s tools.
• Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website (e.g., web hosting providers, email service providers). These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only to perform the services we request and to protect its confidentiality.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or other lawful government request, or to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our users or others.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

• Access and Correction: You may request access to the personal information we hold about you or ask to correct any inaccurate information by contacting us at support@crochettribe.com.
• Deletion: You may request the deletion of your personal information (e.g., if you no longer wish to receive communications from us) by emailing support@crochettribe.com. We will delete your information unless we are required by law to retain it.
• Opt-Out of Personalized Ads: You can opt out of personalized Google AdSense ads by visiting Google Ad Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Choice Page.
• Disable Cookies: You can disable cookies in your browser settings (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari). However, disabling cookies may prevent our affiliate links and ads from tracking properly, and may limit your ability to use certain website features.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., Amazon product pages, other affiliate partners’ sites). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party website you visit through our links.
