Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. 
On behalf of the website provider Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Additional information

Ravelry
When you download a digital pattern you will, in most cases, have the option of clicking a link to add it to your Ravelry library. We pass on just enough information to connect your purchase. 

When you download a pattern from YSK store on Ravelry.com we receive a copy of your download from Ravelry via email. We only use this data to acknowledge the download. If there is a pattern update we use Ravelry’s update system which automatically sends an email notification or Ravelry message. 

Newsletter
We send a monthly newsletter to subscribers via MailChimp. You can read MailChimp’s privacy policy here. [https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/] We have access to the details you provide when you subscribe: your name and email address.

If you wish to have your data deleted from MailChimp you can either contact them directly (this is a good option if you are subscribed to several newsletters) or contact us and we will pass your request on. You can update your details or unsubscribe at any time by following the link to update your profile in the footer of each newsletter. 

Our MailChimp, Facebook, WordPress and Instagram accounts are connected. This automatically tracks analytics information and gives us the option of personalising newsletter or social media marketing content so you find out about products you’re likely to be most interested in. We will only use this data to personalise newsletter content with your explicit permission.

Links

When you click on links on our website, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
