This Privacy Policy explains how ZhiYuan Studio (“we”, “us”, “our”) — operator of stitchkite.com — collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website or purchase our products.
1. Information We Collect
When you make a purchase, we collect:
– Your email address (required for delivery of your digital download)
– Your name (optional, used for order confirmation)
– Billing details handled securely by our payment processor
When you subscribe to our newsletter (if you choose to), we collect your email address.
Automatically collected data: Like most websites, we may collect basic technical data (browser type, device type, pages visited, referring site) through cookies and analytics tools, used only to understand how visitors use our site and improve it.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
– Deliver your purchased PDF pattern(s) immediately after checkout
– Send order confirmations and download links
– Provide customer support
– Send occasional updates or new pattern announcements, only if you subscribed (you can unsubscribe at any time with one click)
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.
3. Payments
Payments are processed by PayPal. We do not see or store your credit card number or bank details. Your payment data is handled under PayPal’s own Privacy Policy.
4. Cookies & Third-Party Services
– WordPress / Easy Digital Downloads: required cookies to remember your shopping cart and keep you logged in.
– Cloudflare: our CDN provider, which processes basic request data for security and performance.
– Google Analytics (if enabled): anonymized usage statistics.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, though some features (like remembering your cart) may be limited.
5. Data Retention
Order records are kept for accounting and customer-support purposes. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time (see Section 7).
6. Data Security
We use HTTPS encryption and take reasonable precautions to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
