StitchLand is a small project run by Hunter Freeman as a sole proprietor. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we do with it. We try to be honest and concrete instead of hiding behind legal boilerplate.
The short version
- To use the site we need an email, a username, and a password.
- We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used.
- We run advertising pixels (Meta, TikTok, and similar) so our ads on those platforms can find people who’d like StitchLand.
- We use Resend to send transactional emails and MailerLite to send newsletters and updates.
- We do not sell or rent your personal information.
- You can delete your account and your data any time by emailing [email protected].
What we collect
Account data
When you save your spot or join the beta, we collect:
- Your email address
- The username you pick
- A hashed version of your password (we never see your actual password)
- The referral code that brought you here, if any
- The date you joined and your position in the queue
Server logs
Our web host (Hostinger) and our CDN (Cloudflare) keep standard access logs for every request: your IP, the page you requested, the time, your browser, and the page you came from. We use these only to run the site, diagnose problems, and protect against abuse. They’re held for a short window (typically 30 days).
Cookies and trackers
We use cookies and tracking pixels for the following purposes:
- Login. Required for staying signed in.
- Referral tracking. If you arrive through a referral link, we store the code so the right person gets credit when you sign up.
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics to count visits and understand which pages people use. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and processes your data per Google’s privacy policy.
- Advertising pixels. We run Meta (Facebook/Instagram), TikTok, and possibly other platform pixels (Pinterest, X, Google Ads) so we can measure ads we run on those platforms and reach similar people. These pixels send the platforms standard event data (page views, signups) tied to anonymous identifiers. Their privacy practices are governed by Meta’s policy, TikTok’s policy, and the respective platforms.
You can opt out of most advertising tracking through your browser settings, your device’s ad-tracking controls, or industry opt-out tools like the DAA opt-out and NAI opt-out.
We use Resend for transactional email (welcome messages, password resets, beta admits) and MailerLite for newsletters and product updates. Both see your email address so they can deliver mail. Their privacy policies are at resend.com/legal/privacy-policy and mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy. You can unsubscribe from any non-essential email with one click.
Tools
Our free tools at /tools/ (StitchScale, Floss Library, Floss Estimator) work entirely in your browser. They don’t send your input back to us and don’t require an account.
Community features
Once community is live, anything you post publicly (profile, group posts, activity feed) is public. Anything you mark private stays private. We’ll describe the settings clearly in the community itself.
What we might add later
- Payments for premium features. If you buy something, payment will be processed by a regulated processor (likely Stripe). We never see or store your card details.
- Additional analytics or attribution tools. If we add any, we’ll update this policy.
How we use your data
We use your account data to:
- Let you log in and use the site
- Calculate your waitlist position and process referrals
- Send you account-related emails (welcome, password reset, beta admit) and, where you’ve signed up, our newsletter
- Understand how the site is used (analytics)
- Measure and improve our ads on platforms like Meta and TikTok
- Respond when you contact us
- Investigate abuse or security incidents
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers we use to run the site (web host, CDN, email senders, analytics, ad platforms) and only to the extent each provider needs it to do its job.
Your rights
You can:
- See what data we have about you
- Correct any of it
- Download a copy
- Delete your account and everything tied to it
- Opt out of marketing emails (one-click unsubscribe in every newsletter)
- Opt out of ad tracking via your browser or platform settings
Email [email protected] for any of these. We try to handle requests within 30 days.
If you’re in the EU, UK, or California, you have additional rights under GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Children
StitchLand is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We don’t knowingly collect data from minors. If you’re a parent and believe your child has signed up, email us and we’ll delete the account.
Security
Passwords are stored as one-way hashes. The site runs over HTTPS. The database is on Hostinger’s managed infrastructure. No system is perfect, but we take this seriously. If we discover a breach affecting your account, we will notify you.
Changes
We’ll update this page when things change. If a change is significant, we’ll email everyone with an account so you can review before it takes effect.
