🔒Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how FuseBeads Hub ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and tools, including the AI fuse bead pattern generator, pattern library, and feedback features. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We aim to collect only the information needed to operate and improve the service:

• Account information: when you sign in with Google, we receive the name and email address associated with your Google account.
• Content you submit: images you upload to the AI fuse bead generator, and messages you send through the feedback form.
• Usage data: we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (with IP addresses anonymized).
• Cookies and similar technologies: see the sections below.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our service providers use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, measure traffic, and serve advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect site functionality.

Third-party advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more about how Google uses data when you visit partner sites, and review Google's Privacy & Terms.

Other third-party services

• Google Analytics: web analytics. IP addresses are anonymized. See Google's analytics privacy information.
• Cloudflare: content delivery network, performance, and security services.
• Google Sign-In: authentication. We receive your name and email only.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the site and tools, to analyze and understand usage, to maintain security and prevent abuse, and to respond to your feedback and support requests. We do not sell your personal information.

Data retention and security

We retain submitted content and account information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law, then delete or anonymize it. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children's privacy

Our site is a general-audience craft resource and is not directed at children under the age required by applicable law (for example, under 13 in the US, under 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. AdSense is not configured for personalized advertising on child-directed content. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. For advertising, you can manage personalized ads through Google Ads Settings and your browser's cookie controls.

Users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we and our advertising partners rely on consent or other lawful bases to process personal data for advertising, in line with Google's EU user consent policy. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your ad settings or disabling cookies, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
