Introduction
This privacy notice explains how sewing-pattern-stash-matchmaker.hub2.day (“Pattern Stash Matchmaker”, “the site”, “we”) handles information when you visit or use the site. The site is a focused web utility that helps home sewists match their existing fabric stash to saved sewing patterns by yardage, width, and drape requirements.
Information You Provide Locally in Your Browser
Pattern Stash Matchmaker is designed so that your fabric stash details, saved patterns, and project inputs can be processed and stored locally in your browser (for example, using localStorage or similar client‑side storage). We do not require you to create an account, and we do not intentionally collect or store your personal project data on our servers.
If you choose to contact us by email, we will see the information you include in your message (for example, your email address and the content of your message). We use that information only to respond to your request.
Contact Email
If you email us at hello@sewing-pattern-stash-matchmaker.hub2.day, we will process your email address and message content to respond to your inquiry. We do not use contact emails for marketing unless you explicitly ask us to, and we do not sell or rent them.

Our hosting provider may automatically collect limited technical information when you access the site, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps. These logs are used for security, troubleshooting, and basic analytics. Log data is retained only as long as reasonably necessary and is not used to build personal profiles.
