Privacy

Quiltkind keeps as little about you as it can, never sells it, and never shows your email address to anyone. This page says what we keep and why. Last updated 12 November 2026.

The calculators and patterns

The calculators run in your browser. Your numbers are remembered on your own device so the page opens where you left it. They are never sent to us. Patterns, PDFs and “What can I make?” searches need no account, and we don't record who uses them.

The early list

When you join, we keep your email address, your answers to the questions on the form, the page you signed up on and the page that sent you there. We use them to plan the studio, to invite you to it, and to email you about it. You can ask us to delete them at any time.

If you offer to chat, or ask to sign in before you're invited, we email you a link to a few short questions about your quilting. We keep your answers with your early-list entry and use them to decide who gets into the studio first and what to build. Nobody is turned away for being new to quilting.

Block of the month emails

These go only to people who ask for them. Every one has a link to stop them; stopping takes one tap and keeps you on the early list unless you ask us to remove you.

The contact form

We keep your name, email address and message so we can reply. To block spam we also keep the name of your browser and a short code made from your internet address. The code can't be turned back into the address.

The studio

Your account is your email address: there's no password. Your quilts, stash and fabric photos are private to your account until you choose to share a quilt. When you delete a quilt or a fabric, it's gone.

If you send us a note with the Feedback button, we keep it with your account, the page you were on, the quilt you had open and the name of your browser, so we can see what you saw and reply.

Sharing a quilt or a badge

Nothing is shared until you press Share. A shared quilt gets a link that can't be guessed. Anyone with the link sees the quilt's picture and name, its size, the names and colours of its fabrics and the photos of those fabrics, and the badges it earned. They never see your email address, your stash or your other quilts.

The page shows your name only if you've added a display name in Settings. Without one, it shows no name at all. Press Stop sharing and the link stops working at once. A badge link shows only the badge, your quilter level and your display name. Badge links can't be switched off one by one, so remove your display name if you'd rather they didn't show it.

When you share a link on WhatsApp, Facebook or Pinterest, that app fetches the page's picture to show a preview. What happens next is covered by that app's own privacy policy.

Counting visits

We count visits with a cookie-free script so we know which calculators help people. It doesn't follow you across sites.

We also count how often things are used each day, such as searches, PDF downloads and which share buttons are pressed. These are totals only: we don't store who did what.

Cookies

We set a cookie only when it's needed: one to keep you signed in to the studio (for up to 90 days) and one that protects forms from misuse. There are no advertising cookies.

Who else handles it

We use a few services to run the site. They handle your data for us, not for themselves:

Keeping and deleting

We keep your data while you use Quiltkind. To see what we hold, correct it, or have your account and everything in it deleted, send us a message on the contact page (choose “My data”) with the email address you use with us. We'll do it within 30 days and tell you when it's done.

Quiltkind isn't meant for children under 13.
