At Seam & Scale, we believe making things should be enjoyable and understanding what happens to your information should be straightforward. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use our sewing and quilting calculators, read our guides, save tools in your browser, or contact us.
About this policy
Seam & Scale (seamandscale.com) is published and operated by Clara Bennett, based in the United States. The operator is responsible for the website’s handling of personal information. For privacy questions or requests, please use our Contact page.
This policy applies to Seam & Scale itself. When you follow a link to another website, that website’s privacy practices will apply instead.
Information you choose to provide
You can browse our public guides and use our public calculators without creating an account. If you contact us, submit a correction, or leave feedback through an available form, we may receive the details you send, such as your name, email address, message, and any information you include in it. We use this information to understand your request, reply when appropriate, and make improvements or corrections.
Please do not include sensitive personal information in calculator inputs, feedback, or messages unless it is necessary for your request. If comments or other community features are enabled, information you choose to post publicly may be visible to other visitors; check the form before submitting.
Browser-local features
Some Seam & Scale features are designed to remember useful details on your own device. Depending on the feature you use, your browser may store your light or dark mode preference, recently opened calculators, saved tools, or unfinished calculator inputs. This helps you return to a fabric calculation or preferred display without starting again.
Browser-local information is associated with the browser and device where you saved it. It may not appear on another device or in private browsing mode. You can remove it using any available in-site clear or remove controls, or by clearing this website’s stored data in your browser settings. Doing so can reset preferences and delete saved or unfinished work. Browser-local storage is not the same as a backup or a user account.
Technical, analytics and advertising data
When you visit Seam & Scale, the website’s hosting and security systems may process technical information needed to deliver pages and protect the service. This can include an IP address, date and time of a request, requested page, browser or device details, and error or security events. This information can help us diagnose problems, limit abuse, and keep the site available.
The site may use cookies or similar browser technologies for essential functionality, such as security or remembering a setting. Optional analytics or advertising technologies are a separate matter: if we enable them, we will identify the relevant providers and purposes, update this policy, and offer consent choices where required by applicable law. We do not identify a specific analytics or advertising company here as active without confirming that its technology is actually installed on the live site.
How information is used
We process information as needed to deliver calculators and guides, remember features you choose to use, respond to messages, investigate technical issues, protect the site against misuse, correct inaccurate content, and comply with applicable legal obligations. We do not need your name or email address merely to return a result from a public fabric or quilt calculator.
Where data protection law requires a legal basis, the basis depends on the activity: for example, legitimate interests in operating and protecting the website and responding to ordinary inquiries; consent for non-essential technologies when required; or compliance with a legal obligation. Any future service that changes how we process personal information should be described here before it is introduced.
Sharing, processors and transfers
Information needed to run the website may be handled by service providers working on our behalf, such as website hosting, security, and email-delivery providers. If we enable additional services that receive visitor information—such as analytics, advertising, or spam prevention we will describe them as appropriate. We may also disclose information when legally required or when reasonably necessary to protect the website and its users.
Because visitors and technology providers can be located in different countries, information may be processed outside your country of residence. Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, those requirements must be addressed by the operator and relevant service provider.
Retention and security
We aim to keep submitted messages and technical records only for as long as they are reasonably needed for their purpose, including responding to requests, maintaining security, resolving disputes, or meeting legal requirements. Browser-local preferences and saved calculations may remain on your device until you clear them, remove them through the site where that option exists, or your browser deletes its stored data.
We take reasonable steps to protect information and limit access to what is needed for operating the site. No website, network, or storage method can guarantee complete security. If you believe you have found a privacy or security problem, please report it through our Contact page.
Your choices and rights
You can decide what to send us, clear this site’s browser data, and manage cookies through your browser or any consent controls available on the site. Depending on your location and the law that applies, you may also have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; or request a copy of certain information. These rights may have legal exceptions.
To ask a privacy question or exercise an applicable right, contact us through our Contact page and explain the request. We may ask for enough information to confirm that we are responding to the right person. Where applicable, you may also raise a concern with your local data protection authority.
Children, changes and contact
Seam & Scale provides general sewing and quilting resources and does not require visitors to provide personal information to use its public calculators. Children should ask a parent or guardian before sending a message or posting information through any interactive feature. If you believe a child has submitted personal information that should be removed, please contact us.
We may update this policy when site features, service providers, or legal requirements change. The date at the top will show the latest update, and we will provide additional notice when required. For questions about this policy or your information, please use the Seam & Scale Contact page.
