Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 7, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how The Cloth Foundation ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our websites, services, and communications (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

  • Information you provide: account details, email address, support messages, form submissions, and any content you upload or send to us.
  • Automatic data: device and browser information, IP address, timestamps, pages viewed, referrers, and general location (derived from IP). We may also collect basic performance and diagnostics data.
  • Cookies & identifiers: cookies, local storage, session storage, and similar technologies used to remember preferences, authenticate sessions, and measure usage.
  • Third-party data: where permitted by you or the provider, we may receive limited information from integrated services (see Third-Party Services).

How We Use Information

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Services.
  • Provide customer support and respond to inquiries.
  • Measure usage, debug issues, and enhance performance and reliability.
  • Send transactional messages (e.g., password resets, release notices).
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the Services are used. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect functionality.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted providers to host, deliver, and support the Services. Their use of data is governed by their own privacy policies:

These providers may process limited personal data as necessary to provide their services to us (e.g., hosting content, sending emails, build automation).

How We Share Information

  • With service providers that help us operate the Services.
  • When required by law, regulation, or legal process.
  • In connection with a business transaction (e.g., merger, acquisition), subject to customary safeguards.
  • With your consent or at your direction.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and context.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal data. You may also have the right to object to processing or request data portability.

To exercise these rights, contact us as described in Contact Us. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

International Transfers

We may process and store information in countries outside your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect your information during cross-border transfers.

Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes may also be communicated through the Services or by email where appropriate.
