🔒 Privacy Policy + Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 2025

📬 Email & Personal Info

When you sign up for my newsletter or leave a comment, your information is safe here. I never sell, rent, or share your email address. Any personal data collected—like your name or email—is used only to send emails you’ve opted into or to reply directly to your messages.

🍪 Cookies & Analytics

This website may use cookies (not the yummy kind, unfortunately) to help improve your browsing experience. I also use analytics tools like Google Analytics to gather general, non-personal info—like which pages are most visited or how long readers stay on the site. This helps me create better content over time.

💸 Affiliate Links

Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you click and make a purchase—at no extra cost to you. These earnings help keep this blog running and allow me to continue offering free content.

I only recommend products I personally use, love, or believe in. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. I also participate in affiliate programs through platforms like Ko-fi, Etsy, and others.

🛠️ A.I. Use & Ethics

Some blog content and images are created or enhanced using A.I. tools such as:

• ChatGPT – for writing support and idea generation
• NightCafe + DALL·E – for image generation and creative visuals

I never use A.I. to write or generate crochet patterns, nor do I pass off A.I.-generated content as my own original work. These tools are used strictly for inspiration, brainstorming, or playful visual content.

🧶 My Promise

This site is built with love, yarn, and way too much coffee. I’m committed to honesty, transparency, and cozy creativity. If I ever recommend something, it's because it genuinely fits the vibe or purpose of Laughing Yarns.
