Latifacha (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website latifacha.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Who we are
Latifacha is a crochet pattern blog publishing free amigurumi and crochet patterns, tutorials, and tips, authored by Latifacha. The Site is built on WordPress.
Information we collect
We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. Depending on how you use the Site, this may include:
Information you give us directly
- Newsletter sign-ups — if you subscribe, we collect your email address (and optionally your name).
- Comments — if you leave a comment on a post, we collect the name, email address, and any other details you choose to enter, along with your IP address and browser information. This helps us detect spam.
- Contact — if you email us at contact@latifacha.com, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.
Information collected automatically
- Usage and device data — like most websites, our hosting and analytics tools automatically log information such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page, pages viewed, and time spent. This is used in aggregate to understand how the Site is used.
- Cookies and similar technologies — small files stored on your device. See the Cookies section below.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- send our newsletter (only if you’ve subscribed) and let you unsubscribe at any time;
- publish and manage comments;
- respond to messages you send us;
- understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve our content;
- keep the Site secure and prevent spam and abuse;
- comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies
Cookies help the Site function and help us understand how it’s used. The Site may use:
- Essential cookies — needed for the Site to work (e.g. remembering your comment details).
- Analytics cookies — to measure traffic and usage. [We use Google Analytics for this.]
- Third-party cookies — set by embedded content such as Pinterest pins, YouTube videos, or share buttons.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can set your browser to refuse cookies. Some parts of the Site may not work properly if you do.
How long we keep your information
- Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
- Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe.
- Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to handle your request.
- Analytics data is retained according to the settings of our analytics provider.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you;
- request that we correct or delete it;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- withdraw consent (for example, by unsubscribing from the newsletter);
- request a copy of your data in a portable format.
If you’re in the European Economic Area or the UK, these rights are protected under the GDPR. If you’re in California, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know and delete your information and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights.
To exercise any of these rights, email contact@latifacha.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the Site. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
