Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Overview

NiftyFifty respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the platform, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address. You may optionally add a display name, username, avatar, and bio to your profile.

Uploaded Content

Photos and blocks you upload are stored securely via Supabase Storage and displayed on the platform according to your sharing settings.

Activity Data

We store your exchange participation, quilt saves, block favorites, guild memberships, and chat messages to provide a connected community experience.

Local Storage

The Pattern Maker saves your designs locally in your browser. These never leave your device unless you explicitly share or export them.

Analytics

We may use anonymous, aggregate analytics to understand feature usage. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

How We Use Your Information

  • To operate your account and authenticate your sessions
  • To facilitate block exchanges, guilds, and community features
  • To send transactional emails (login links, exchange notifications, digests)
  • To display your public profile and contributions to other members
  • To improve the platform based on aggregate usage patterns

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Ever.

Uploaded Blocks & Patterns

When you upload a quilt block image or pattern to NiftyFifty, you retain full copyright ownership. By uploading, you grant NiftyFifty a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, archive, and feature your content within the platform — for example, on exchange pages, the block library, or community highlights.

We will never sell your uploaded content, license it to third parties for commercial use, or use it outside of NiftyFifty without your permission. You can remove your content at any time from your account settings.

Cookies & Authentication

NiftyFifty uses essential cookies to manage your authenticated session. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. Authentication is handled by Supabase.

Data Retention

Your account and data are retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal profile data within 30 days. Content you shared in exchanges (block photos, posts) may persist in the archive unless you delete it before closing your account.

Your Rights

  • Request a copy of the data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information in your profile at any time
  • Delete your account and associated personal data
  • Opt out of non-essential emails from your notification settings

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@niftyfiftyquilting.com.
