Privacy Policy

1. Overview

FabricCalc.com ("we," "us," or "our") provides free sewing size charts and fabric calculators. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit FabricCalc.com, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. We do not operate user accounts and do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) directly through forms or registrations.

2. Data We Collect

We do not collect your name, email address, or any other PII directly. When you visit the site, standard web analytics data is collected automatically, including:

• IP address (anonymized by Google Analytics)
• Browser type and version
• Device type and operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website or search query
• General geographic location (country/region, not precise location)

This data is collected and processed by Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager and is used solely to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.

3. Cookies & Consent

FabricCalc uses cookies set by Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to collect the analytics data described above. These are analytics cookies — they do not track you across unrelated websites for advertising purposes on our behalf.

Google Tag Manager (container ID: GTM-TK9VCMDC) loads on every page and may set first-party and third-party cookies associated with Google Analytics. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Doing so will not affect your ability to use FabricCalc's calculators or size charts.

4. Affiliate Links Disclosure

FabricCalc participates in affiliate programs, including Amazon Associates, the Seamwork affiliate program, and the Fabric.com affiliate program. This means that when you click certain links on this site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate links are clearly marked or disclosed in context. The inclusion of affiliate links does not influence our editorial recommendations — we only link to products and services we believe are genuinely useful to sewists and quilters.

When you click an affiliate link, the respective retailer (Amazon, Seamwork, Fabric.com, etc.) may set their own cookies on your device and collect data according to their own privacy policies.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Tag Manager — manages and deploys analytics scripts. Governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
• Google Analytics — collects anonymized usage data to help us understand site traffic. Governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
• Amazon Associates— affiliate program. When you visit Amazon via our links, Amazon's own privacy notice applies.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies directly.

6. Your Rights

EU residents (GDPR): You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. Because we do not collect PII directly, most GDPR rights apply to data held by Google Analytics. You can exercise those rights via the Google Analytics opt-out tool or by contacting us at contact@fabriccalc.com.

California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. For any CCPA requests, contact us at contact@fabriccalc.com.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of FabricCalc after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice on the site.
