Privacy Policy

Your quilting stash is your business. This page explains, in plain words, what we collect and how we keep it safe.

What we collect

• Account details: your name, email address, and a securely scrambled password (we can never see your actual password).
• Your photos: pattern, fabric, and stitch photos you upload, plus the previews we make for you.
• Basic usage info: things like how you use Quilt Preview, so we can keep the app working well.
• How pages are used: we use Microsoft Clarity to see where people click, scroll, and get stuck, through heatmaps and session replays. Clarity uses cookies for this. It masks what you type and doesn't see your photos' contents or your payment details. Learn more in the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
• Advertising measurement: we use the Meta Pixel (from the company behind Facebook and Instagram) to see which of our ads and posts bring people to Quilt Preview. It records which pages you visit and when you sign up or buy a bundle, and uses cookies for this. When you sign up or buy, our server also lets Meta know, with your email address scrambled (hashed) first so Meta can only match it to an account it already knows. It doesn't see your photos, what you type or your payment details. You can control ads Meta shows you in your Facebook ad preferences, and learn more in the Meta Privacy Policy.
• Approximate location and device: when you visit or sign in, we record your approximate city-level location and the type of device you use, to understand where our quilters are and improve the app. We never store your exact location or your IP address.
• About you (optional): your answers to the welcome questions, like how long you've quilted, whether you own a quilt shop or studio, what you love to make and how you heard about us. You can skip them.
• Mailing address (only if you ask for a gift): after your first purchase we offer a free thank-you gift. If you accept, we keep the name and address you give us only to post it, and never use it for anything else.

How we use it

• To create, save, and show your quilt previews.
• To run and protect your account.
• To send important account emails (like password resets).
• To fix problems and improve the app.

How your photos are handled

Your photos are stored privately — only you can see them when signed in. To make a preview, your photos are sent securely to our AI image service, which uses them only to create your picture. We don't sell your photos, share them publicly, or use them in ads.

If you choose to share a finished preview to the Community, other signed-in members can see that preview, the pattern name and designer you entered, your note, and either your first name and last initial or nothing at all if you share anonymously. Your pattern and fabric photos are never shared. You can stop sharing at any time.

Separately, if you tick "Also feature it on the Quilt Preview website" when you share, that shared photo may appear, with its pattern name and heart count, in the Community strip on our public website. Your name is never shown there. This is off unless you turn it on, and you can turn it off on your post at any time.

We don't sell your pictures or patterns

To be perfectly clear: we never sell, rent, or license the photos you upload, the patterns you photograph, or the AI-generated previews we make for you. They aren't sold, packaged, or passed to pattern designers, fabric companies, advertisers, or data brokers, and we don't use your photos or previews to make previews for anyone else.

Who we share with

Only the services we need to run the app: hosting (Vercel), sign-in (Clerk), database and photo storage (Supabase), payments (Stripe), the AI image service (OpenAI), usage analytics (Microsoft Clarity), and ad measurement (Meta). We never sell your personal information.

Keeping it safe

We use encrypted connections, private storage, and account-level access controls so your designs stay yours. No system is perfect, but we take protecting your information seriously.

Your choices

• Change your name, password, or connected sign-in accounts anytime on your profile page.
• Delete any saved preview from your library.
• Ask us to delete your account and all your photos by emailing us.
• Depending on where you live, you may have extra rights to see, correct, or download your information — just ask.

Children

Quilt Preview is for adults 18 and over, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Changes

If we update this policy in an important way, we'll let you know in the app or by email.
