Orized (orized.com) is operated by Amanda, an independent maker based in the United States. This Privacy Policy explains what information the site collects, how it’s used, and the choices available to visitors.
What This Site Is
Orized publishes free crochet patterns and articles, with a focus on baby crochet (blankets, booties, hats, and similar pieces). The site does not process online payments or collect shipping addresses — its content is the patterns and articles themselves.
Information We Collect
Contact form. If you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message you send. This information is used only to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties except as described below.
Automatically collected data. Like most websites, Orized uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This may collect your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, and general location (derived from IP address). This data is aggregated and used to improve the site’s content and experience.
Cookies. The site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to support analytics and advertising, described below. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some site features may not work as expected without them.
Advertising
Orized displays ads through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. This may include your browsing activity but does not include your name or contact details.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google’s Ads Settings.
- General information on interest-based advertising and opt-out tools is available at the Digital Advertising Alliance and Network Advertising Initiative.
- Google’s own privacy practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy.
Declining cookies won’t stop you from seeing ads on Orized — it means the ads you see will be less tailored to you.
Third-Party Links
Some pages on Orized may link to other sites (yarn suppliers, craft communities, etc.). Once you leave orized.com, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage checking the privacy practices of any site you visit.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information collected through this site, including using SSL encryption. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we can’t guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
Orized is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Your Choices
You can:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you and request its deletion, by emailing us.
- Unsubscribe from any future communications at any time.
- Disable cookies and adjust ad personalization through your browser and the tools linked above.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the site or applicable law. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
