Privacy Policy
Last updated 2026-09-29
Dressmaker Hub is the unofficial fan-made guide for Dressmaker — your go-to resource for pattern recipes, fabric guides, beginner walkthroughs, and customer order strategies.
1. Information We Collect
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit Dressmaker Hub, our hosting and CDN infrastructure may automatically log certain information, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and referring URL. This information is collected by Cloudflare Workers (hosting + CDN) as part of standard server operations. Cloudflare acts as an independent data controller for this processing — see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
Google Analytics 4 (if enabled)
We may use Google Analytics 4 ("GA4") to collect and analyze website traffic. GA4 uses cookies and similar technologies to track how visitors interact with our site. You can opt out of GA4 tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
Google AdSense (Advertising)
If advertising is enabled, Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this Site and other sites on the Internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Local Storage Data (Calculator State)
We may store your calculator inputs and selected pattern preferences locally in your browser using LocalStorage (e.g., the Commission Solver may remember your last fabric choice). This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser cache for dressmaker.top.
No Account / No Login
This Site does not require account registration, login, email subscription, or any form of personal identification. We do not collect your name, email, phone, address, or any account credentials because none are needed to use the Site.
2. How We Use Your Information
- Operate and maintain our website (Cloudflare Workers hosting + CDN)
- Understand usage patterns and improve user experience (analytics — if enabled)
- Monitor site performance and security (server logs)
- Display contextual or personalized advertising (if AdSense is enabled)
- Generate aggregated analytics (no individual identification)
3. Third-Party Services
| Service | Purpose | Data Processed | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Workers | Static site hosting + CDN / DDoS protection | IP, access logs, TLS metadata, country-level geolocation | Privacy |
| Google Analytics 4 *(if enabled)* | Traffic analytics | Page views, events, cookies | Privacy |
| Google AdSense *(if enabled)* | Advertising | Browsing behavior, interests (anonymized) | Privacy |
| Google Search Console | SEO monitoring | Search query data | Privacy |
Important: Cloudflare is the hosting provider and processes server logs as its own controller. We do not have direct access to raw server logs; Cloudflare provides us with aggregated analytics only.
No Other Third Parties
We do not use:
- Social media tracking pixels (Facebook, X, TikTok, etc.)
- Chat widgets that collect personal data (Intercom, Drift, etc.)
- Newsletter or email collection services (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, etc.)
- Session recording tools (Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, etc.)
- A/B testing platforms with personal-data processing (Optimizely, VWO, etc.)
If any of the above are added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated before activation.
4. Data Retention
| Data Type | Retention Period | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare server access logs | Per Cloudflare's data retention policy (CF Data Privacy) | Cloudflare processes as controller |
| GA4 data (if enabled) | Up to 14 months (Google default) | GA Data Retention |
| LocalStorage (calculator state) | Until you clear browser cache | User-controlled, not on our servers |
| AdSense data (if enabled) | Per Google retention policy | See Google Privacy Policy |

California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

- Request deletion of your personal information
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell personal information)
- Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

Aggregated analytics data is controlled by Google (as their own controller) and is subject to Google's own privacy practices.
6. Children's Privacy
Dressmaker Hub is not intended for children under 13 years of age (or under 16 in the EU/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The Site contains only general gaming-guide content suitable for all ages (consistent with Dressmaker's "Family Friendly" Steam rating).
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through the Site, please contact privacy@dressmaker.top and we will work to address it.
7. International Data Transfers
Our hosting provider (Cloudflare Workers) and any enabled analytics/advertising services (Google) may process data in the United States and other jurisdictions. By using this Site, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions other than your own. Cloudflare and Google operate under their own respective privacy frameworks and Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Material changes (e.g., adding new third-party services that collect personal data) will be reflected by a date change at the top of this page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What personal data do you collect? A: We do not actively collect personal data. Our hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers) automatically logs standard access information (IP address, browser type, pages visited) as part of normal operations. If analytics or advertising is enabled, those services (Google) may collect additional data per their own privacy policies. We do not have user accounts or require login. See Section 1 above for details.
Q: Do you sell my data? A: No. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. We do not collect personal data on our own servers. Any advertising (Google AdSense) is governed by Google's own privacy practices — you may opt out via Google Ads Settings.
Q: How can I request deletion of my data? A: Since we do not store personal data on our own servers, there is typically nothing to delete from us. For data held by Cloudflare or Google, follow their respective deletion processes. If you have concerns, contact us at privacy@dressmaker.top.
Q: Is my data transferred outside my country? A: Yes — our CDN provider (Cloudflare) and any enabled Google services process data primarily in the United States and other jurisdictions. See Section 7 for details.
Q: How do I opt out of tracking? A: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to disable GA4 tracking. Visit Google Ads Settings to opt out of personalized advertising. You can also clear your browser cache to remove LocalStorage data (calculator state).
Q: I am an EU resident. What are my GDPR rights? A: You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, and object to processing of your personal data, and to data portability. Since we do not store personal data on our own servers, most requests will confirm that no data is held by us. For data held by Cloudflare or Google, contact those providers directly. Contact privacy@dressmaker.top for inquiries about this Site specifically.
Q: How do I clear my calculator state data? A: Your calculator inputs are stored in your browser via LocalStorage. To clear: open browser settings → Privacy/Security → Clear browsing data → select "Cookies and site data" for dressmaker.top. This will reset any saved calculator state.
