This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and how we safeguard your data when using our interactive crochet pattern platform.
2. Information We Collect
- Account Information: When you register as a creator or crafter, we collect your email address and authentication credentials securely processed through Supabase Auth.
- Profile & Content: Creators may optionally share profile usernames, bios, avatars, external social media links (Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, personal websites), and pattern materials/instructions.
- Local Pattern Progress: Row completion data and active row counters are saved locally on your device via browser local storage (LocalStorage) so your progress is never lost while crafting.

3. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information solely to:
- Provide, maintain, and enhance the Crpapo platform and interactive pattern tracking.
- Authenticate accounts and secure creator publishing workflows.
- Display creator attribution and pattern galleries.
- Detect and prevent spam, fraud, or terms-of-service violations.
4. Affiliate Links & External Content
Some crochet patterns on Crpapo may feature outbound links to recommended yarns, crochet hooks, or external video tutorials (e.g., YouTube). Some of these links may be affiliate links where designers or Crpapo may earn a modest commission at no extra cost to you. We do not share your personal account information with external merchants.
5. Data Security & Storage
