Yarn + Chai (“we” or “us”) runs yarnandchai.com (the “Site”), where we share crochet patterns, tutorials and blog posts. This policy explains what information we collect on the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have a Yarn + Chai membership or use our app, the members Privacy Policy covers those.
What we collect
- Your email address, only if you give it to us, for example when you sign up for our newsletter or to get a free pattern.

- Information collected automatically. When you visit, we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, how long you stay, the site that sent you here, your general location, and the ads you see or click.
