Privacy Policy
We treat your information the same way we treat fabric — with care, respect, and the understanding that it belongs to you.
What we collect
When you join the Stitching Circle, contact us, or sign up for the Academy, we may ask for your name, email address, and (if you choose to share it) a phone number. That is all. We do not ask for anything we do not need.
How we use your information
- To send you the quiet letters, lesson updates, or community news you signed up for.
- To reply when you reach out with a question or a photo of your work.
- To let you know when enrollment opens or a new season begins.
- To keep our records in good order — just as we keep our sewing boxes tidy.
What we do not do
We will never sell your email, name, or phone number. We will never share your personal information with advertisers, data brokers, or third parties who might bother you. Your trust is stitched into every part of this academy, and we guard it carefully.
Cookies and small tracking stitches
Our website may use small cookies (tiny text files) to remember your preferences and help the site run smoothly. They do not collect anything personal on their own, and you are always free to clear them through your browser settings.
How we protect your information
Your data is stored securely with modern encryption and access controls. Only Shonda and the small team that helps run the Academy can see it — and only when necessary to serve you.
Your rights
You may ask to see what information we have about you, correct it, or have it removed at any time. Simply send an email to the address below and we will handle your request promptly and gently.
Changes to this policy
If we ever need to update this policy, we will post the changes here and let you know through the Stitching Circle newsletter. We will not make big changes quietly.
Questions?
If you have any questions about how we handle your information, please reach out through our Community page or the contact form there. We read every message.
