Hello! I’m Ildikó Strüning, the designer behind IlDikko Amigurumi Patterns.
Your privacy is very important to me, and I’m committed to protecting your personal data.
This Privacy Policy explains what information I collect through ildikko.com


Information I Collect

I only collect the information I truly need to offer you patterns, updates and a smooth experience on my website.

a) Information you provide directly:
When you contact me, download a free pattern or subscribe to my newsletter, you may share:

•  Your name

•  Your email address

•  The content of your message or inquiry

b) Information collected automatically:
Like most websites, some non-personal data may be collected automatically, such as:

•  Your browser type and version

•  Pages visited and time spent on the site

•  Approximate location (country or region)

This helps me understand how visitors use my website so I can keep improving it.


How I Use Your Information

I use your information only to:

•  Send you newsletters or pattern updates (if you’ve subscribed)

•  Reply to your questions or messages

•  Provide access to free patterns or downloads

•  Improve the content and usability of my website

I will never sell, rent, or share your personal data with anyone for marketing purposes.


Cookies

My website may use cookies (small text files saved on your device) to:

•  Remember your settings or preferences

•  Collect anonymous data for statistics and analytics (for example, via Google Analytics)

You can disable cookies in your browser if you prefer, but some parts of the website may not function perfectly without them.


Third-Party Services

To provide my services, I sometimes use trusted third-party tools, such as:

•  Email newsletter services (to send updates)

•  Analytics tools (to see how the website performs)

My website also links to Etsy, Ravelry and Amigurumi.com, where you can buy my patterns.
Please note that these platforms have their own privacy policies, and I’m not responsible for their data practices.


Data Retention

I only keep your personal information for as long as necessary to provide my services or as required by law.
You may unsubscribe from the newsletter or request the deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting [email protected]

Security

I take reasonable measures to keep your data safe from unauthorized access, loss or misuse.
Please remember that no method of online communication is 100% secure, but I do my best to protect your information.

I may occasionally update this Privacy Policy.
Any changes will be published on this page and the date above will show when it was last updated.
