Privacy Policy

This policy explains how FabricYardageCalculator.com handles information when you use our fabric calculators, guides, contact form, analytics tools, and advertising features.

Privacy at a Glance

No Account Required

You can use the fabric calculators and read guides without creating an account.

Calculator Inputs

Measurements and project settings are used to calculate estimates and are not intentionally tied to your identity.

Analytics and Ads

We use Google Analytics and may use Google AdSense to understand site performance and support free access.

Consent Controls

Eligible visitors may see a Google consent message for advertising and analytics choices.

Scope

This policy applies to FabricYardageCalculator.com, including pages on the fabricyardagecalculator.com and www.fabricyardagecalculator.com domains. It covers our calculators for upholstery, sewing, curtains, quilting, cushions, yardage charts, guides, and related support pages.

The website is an independent fabric planning resource. You do not need to create an account, sign in, or provide a payment method to use the calculators.

Information We Collect

Calculator and project inputs

The calculators ask for project measurements and preferences, such as fabric width, pattern repeat, window size, cushion dimensions, garment type, or overage settings. These inputs are used to generate yardage estimates. We do not ask for your name or contact details inside the calculators.

Usage and technical information

Like most websites, we may collect technical information such as pages visited, approximate location, device type, browser type, referring page, timestamps, and interaction signals. This information helps us understand how the site performs and which calculators or guides need improvement.

Calculator feedback

If you use the optional feedback prompt beside a calculator result, we may collect whether the estimate was helpful, a fixed improvement reason, the calculator and project type, the page path, and any comment you choose to provide. We do not ask for a name or email address. Google Analytics may receive broad categories derived from the calculation, but not exact measurements, result totals, costs, or free-text comments.

Contact information

If you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, message content, and any project details you choose to include. The contact form is submitted through a form delivery provider so your message can reach us by email.

Advertising and consent information

When advertising or consent tools are active, Google and its partners may process cookies, device identifiers, consent choices, ad interaction data, and similar signals to serve ads, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and respect your privacy choices.

How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

  • Operate, maintain, and secure the website.
  • Calculate fabric yardage estimates and improve calculator accuracy.
  • Review optional result ratings and comments to identify confusing or inaccurate estimates.
  • Understand site traffic, popular pages, errors, and performance issues.
  • Respond to questions, correction requests, and support messages.
  • Display, measure, and manage advertising where AdSense is enabled.
  • Comply with legal, security, fraud prevention, and policy obligations.

Cookies, Analytics, and Ads

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies may be used to remember preferences, measure traffic, support security, manage consent choices, and display or measure ads. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, but blocking some cookies may affect site features or advertising behavior.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics data may include page views, traffic source, browser and device information, approximate geographic area, and engagement metrics. We use this information in aggregate to improve calculators, guides, speed, and usability. Calculator analytics may include the calculator name, project type, result-action category, helpful or not-helpful rating, and a fixed feedback-reason category. It may also include low-detail categories such as unit system, fabric-width band, quantity band, pattern-repeat band, and estimated-result band. We do not send the optional written comment, exact calculator measurements, prices, costs, or exact result totals to Google Analytics.

Google AdSense and advertising cookies

We use or may use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the Internet.

You can learn more about how Google uses data from sites and apps that use its services at Google Partner Sites. You can manage Google ad personalization in Google Ads Settings. You may also opt out of some third-party personalized advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.

Sharing and Service Providers

We do not sell contact form submissions or calculator inputs. We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the website, including hosting, security, analytics, advertising, consent management, and message delivery providers.

These providers may process information according to their own terms and privacy policies. For example, Google may process data for Analytics, AdSense, advertising, consent, fraud prevention, and measurement services. Our message delivery provider processes contact messages and optional calculator feedback so they can be delivered to us.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the site and its users, to investigate abuse, or to enforce our Terms of Use.

Retention, Security, and Rights

Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required for legal, security, accounting, or dispute resolution reasons. Contact messages and calculator feedback may be retained so we can respond, improve the calculators, and keep a record of support or correction requests.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the website and the information processed through it. No internet service can guarantee complete security, so avoid sending sensitive personal information through the contact form.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or information about how your personal data is handled. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To make a privacy request, contact us through the Contact page. We may need enough information to verify and process your request.

Children's privacy

This site is intended for general craft, sewing, decorating, and project-planning audiences. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site, advertising setup, analytics tools, legal requirements, or privacy practices change. When we make material updates, we will revise the Last updated date at the top of this page.
