We are a small, family-oriented business providing professional longarm quilting services, custom machine embroidery, personalized gifts, quilting patterns, unique fabrics, and related products. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using our website or services, you consent to the practices described here.

1. Introduction

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who has access, and your rights. We operate entirely within the United States and host our data accordingly.

2. Data We Collect

Data Storage Location

Our website is hosted in the United States (or by U.S.-compliant providers). We use secure, reputable hosting services that follow industry-standard security practices.

Registration Data (if applicable)

If you create an account on our site (e.g., for order tracking or repeat customers), we store your chosen username, email address, and any additional details you add to your profile. You can view, edit, or delete this information at any time (except your username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators may also access and edit this for support purposes.

Contact & Form Data

Information submitted through contact forms, quote requests (e.g., for quilting services), or project inquiry forms is sent to our business email. These submissions are used only for customer service and are not used for marketing unless you explicitly opt in (e.g., newsletter signup). We may use services like Zoho or similar for email hosting.

Comments

When you leave comments on blog posts or gallery items, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

Newsletter / Email Signup

If you sign up for updates (e.g., via Mailchimp or similar), we collect your email address with your consent. You can unsubscribe anytime.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics for anonymous site usage statistics (no personally identifiable information is stored by default). To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, use this tool: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Cases for Using Your Personal Data

We use your information only for:

• Verifying your identity when using our services;
• Providing customer support, quotes, or quilting/embroidery services;
• Sending important updates (e.g., order status, service changes);
• Preventing fraud and ensuring site security;
• Improving your experience on our site;
• General administrative functions.

3. Embedded Content

Our site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos in tutorials or Facebook feeds). These behave as if you visited the source site directly. They may collect data, use cookies, or track interactions. We have no control over their policies. Common ones include:

• Facebook — See their Privacy Policy.
• YouTube — See their Privacy Policy.
• Twitter/X — See their Privacy Policy.

No cookies from these services load until you interact/consent.

4. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience (e.g., remembering preferences or cart items). You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

Necessary Cookies (for all visitors):

• Session cookies (e.g., PHPSESSID) for basic functionality.
• Security-related cookies (e.g., from Cloudflare CDN if used).

Additional Cookies (for logged-in users, if registration exists):

• WordPress authentication cookies (e.g., wordpress_logged_in_{hash}).

5. Who Has Access to Your Data

If you’re not a registered customer or have not submitted information, we retain no personal data about you. For customers:

• Limited access by our business owner/administrator.
• Support personnel only when needed to assist you (e.g., with a quilting project).

6. Third-Party Access

We do not sell or share your personal information (e.g., email, name) with third parties for their own purposes. Limited sharing occurs only with service providers necessary for operations, such as:

• Email/hosting providers (e.g., Zoho or similar).
• Analytics (Google, anonymous only).
• Payment processors (if you purchase products/patterns — see their policies).

All providers are chosen for strong privacy practices.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

• Comments and support inquiries: Retained indefinitely unless you request removal (for spam/approval recognition).
• Account data: Kept as long as your account is active; you can request deletion.
• Form submissions: Kept only as long as needed for service (typically 1–3 years for records).

8. Security Measures

We use HTTPS/SSL encryption site-wide to protect data in transit. We follow reasonable security practices to prevent unauthorized access. In case of a breach, we will notify affected individuals as required by law.

9. Your Data Rights

You can request:

• Access to/export of your personal data.
• Correction or deletion of your data (subject to legal/administrative needs — e.g., we may retain basic info for tax/service records).

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@seamsdivine.com or (217) 779-2918. We will respond promptly. Note: Deleting all data may prevent us from providing ongoing services (e.g., order history).

For California residents (CCPA/CPRA): You have additional rights to know, delete, and opt out of sales (we do not sell data).

10. Third-Party Websites

Links to external sites (e.g., social media, suppliers) are not covered by this policy. Review their privacy policies separately.

11. Release of Data for Legal Purposes

We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or in good faith belief that it’s necessary for legal matters, fraud prevention, or protecting rights/safety. Any disclosure complies with applicable U.S. laws.
