```
fraud prevention;
```

form processing; and
```
```

```

Squarespace processes information according to its own privacy practices.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies, server logs, and similar technologies.

Depending on Website configuration, these technologies may be used to:

provide essential Website functionality;

```
maintain security;
```
```
remember preferences;
```
```
understand Website traffic;
```
```
support shopping-cart functionality;
```
```
measure Website performance; and
```
```
identify technical problems.
```

You may generally manage cookies through your browser settings.

Disabling certain cookies may affect Website functionality, including shopping or other interactive features.

If Scribbler Designs adds advertising pixels or additional tracking technologies in the future, this Privacy Policy should be updated to accurately reflect those practices.

5. Newsletter Signup

The Website currently offers visitors the opportunity to subscribe to The Cutting Edge newsletter and related news and updates.

The signup form may collect:

```
first name;
```
```
last name; and
```
```
email address.
```

This information may be used to:

```

```
```

```

announce classes, products, patterns, or other offerings; and

```
administer the subscriber list.
```

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism contained in the applicable email.

6. Purchases and Squarespace Commerce

When you purchase a quilt pattern, class, digital resource, or other offering through the Website, information associated with the transaction may be processed through Squarespace Commerce and applicable payment providers.

Information may include:

```
name;
```
```
email address;
```
```

```
```
products purchased;

Scribbler Designs may receive transaction information necessary to fulfill purchases, provide customer service, maintain business records, and resolve disputes.

7. Payment Processing

The Website currently identifies PayPal as a payment method for certain classes and may use PayPal or other payment providers for transactions.

When you make a payment through a third-party payment processor, the provider may directly collect payment information such as:

payment-card or financial-account information;

```
billing information;
```
```
account identifiers;
```
```
transaction details;
```
```
device information; and
```

other information required to process the transaction.

Complete payment credentials submitted directly through a third-party provider are generally processed by that provider rather than directly stored by Scribbler Designs.

Payment processors maintain their own privacy and security practices.

8. Online Classes and Zoom

Scribbler Designs may offer virtual classes through Zoom or another online meeting platform.

When you participate in a class through a third-party service, that provider may independently process information such as:

```

```
```
IP address;
```
```
device information;
```
```
audio or video;
```
```
meeting participation information; and
```

other information associated with use of the platform.

Third-party class platforms process information according to their own privacy policies and settings.

If a particular class will be recorded, participants should be informed where appropriate before recording occurs.

```
```
resolve purchase or access issues;
```
```

```

follow up regarding a request you initiated.

10. Testimonials and Student Content

Providing a private photograph, class project, or message to Scribbler Designs does not automatically authorize public promotional use where consent is otherwise required.

13. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Based on the Website practices described in this Privacy Policy, Scribbler Designs does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

The Website is not currently described as using personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If Scribbler Designs later introduces advertising pixels or other technologies that materially change these practices, this Privacy Policy and any legally required privacy controls should be updated.

14. Email Choices

You may unsubscribe from Scribbler Designs marketing or newsletter emails at any time using the unsubscribe link or mechanism contained in the applicable communication.

Unsubscribing from promotional communications does not necessarily prevent Scribbler Designs from sending transactional communications relating to a purchase, class, customer-service matter, or other existing relationship.

15. Data Retention

Scribbler Designs retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Retention may reflect needs relating to:

customer service;
```
```

```
```
intellectual-property matters;

```
legal compliance; and
```

establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.

16. Data Security

Scribbler Designs uses reasonable administrative and technical practices designed to protect information under its control.

However, no website, payment platform, email system, online meeting service, electronic transmission, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Third-party providers are responsible for the security practices applicable to information they independently process.

17. Children’s Privacy

The Website and its commercial services are intended primarily for adults and are not directed to children under 13.

Scribbler Designs does not knowingly use the Website to collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental or legal-guardian involvement.

If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information through the Website inappropriately, please contact Scribbler Designs so the matter can be reviewed.

18. Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws applicable to Scribbler Designs, you may have certain rights concerning personal information.

Where applicable, these may include rights to:

request access to certain personal information;

request correction of inaccurate information;

request deletion of certain information;

obtain information regarding certain disclosures; or

exercise other privacy choices provided by applicable law.

Such rights are subject to applicable legal thresholds, exceptions, and verification requirements.

Privacy-related requests may be submitted through the Website contact page.

19. Third-Party Websites and Social Media

The Website may link to Facebook, Pinterest, Zoom, PayPal, YouTube, retailers, quilting resources, pattern designers, manufacturers, or other third-party websites and services.

Third parties operate independently and maintain their own privacy and security practices.

Scribbler Designs does not control how those third parties independently collect, use, disclose, or retain information.

We encourage visitors to review applicable third-party privacy policies before providing personal information.

20. International Visitors

Scribbler Designs and the Website are operated from the United States.

If you access the Website from another country, information may be transferred to or processed in the United States or other jurisdictions in which service providers operate.

Privacy laws in those jurisdictions may differ from those where you live.
