Privacy policy

You can browse the catalog, read every pattern and crochet any toy without an account, and we do not track you across other sites. We keep only what the site needs to work, never sell it and show no ads.

Rounds you tick off and notices you close are stored in your own browser (local storage) and never leave it. Our hosting keeps ordinary server logs (IP address, browser, page, time) for a few weeks to keep the site running and safe.

To see which pages and tools are used, we count visits and actions on the site (pages opened, searches, starting or finishing a crochet, sending a design) with PostHog. It keeps a random identifier in your browser’s local storage, sets no cookies and is not used for ads; when you are signed in, these actions are linked to your account id. Your IP address is used only to estimate the country.

When you sign up we keep your email address and, if you sign in with Google or Apple, the name and email they share with us. You choose your username, name, photo and bio; they appear on your public profile unless you turn off Public profile in Settings.

Toys you publish, “Made it” photos and videos, comments, likes and bookmarks are stored with your account. Published toys, public photos and comments are visible to everyone; drafts, private toys and your saved progress are visible only to you.

When you design or change a toy, the words of your idea (and a photo, if you add one) are sent to the AI models that build the toy. They are used only to make your toy and are not used by us to train models. Do not put personal details in an idea.

The amigurumi app for ChatGPT, Claude and other AI assistants only reads the public catalog: it receives the search words, sizes and numbers the assistant sends it and answers with public toys and calculations. It needs no sign-in, sees no conversation beyond those values and stores nothing about you. It has its own privacy policy at amigurumi.ai/apps/privacy.

We email you only about your account: confirming your address, signing in and resetting your password. No newsletters unless you ask for them.

The site runs on cloud hosting (Vercel), usage statistics at PostHog with its database, sign-in and file storage at Supabase; emails go through a transactional email service and the toy designer through AI model providers. Each of them handles the data only to provide that service to us.

You can edit your profile, delete any toy, photo or comment, and delete your account in Settings; deleting the account removes your sign-in and profile for good. For a copy of your data or any question, write to us from the email of your account.

The site is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly keep accounts of children under 13.

When this policy changes, the date above changes with it; important changes are announced on the site.
