Privacy Policy

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.

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 swap participation, quilt saves, block favorites, guild memberships, and chat messages to provide a connected community experience.

Local Storage — The Quilt Designer and Pattern Designer save 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.

• To operate your account and authenticate your sessions
• To facilitate block swaps, guilds, and community features
• To send transactional emails (login links, swap 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.

When you upload a quilt block image or pattern to NiftyFifty, you retain full copyright ownership. By uploading, you grant NiftyFifty a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute your content for any purpose related to operating, promoting, and marketing NiftyFifty — including on the platform, social media, newsletters, press materials, advertisements, and printed publications.

We will never sell your uploaded content as a standalone product or license it to unrelated third parties for their own commercial use. You can remove your content at any time from your account settings, though copies already in use for promotional purposes may persist.

Content you post with "public" visibility — including quilt designs, block photos, and patterns — is visible to anyone on the internet. NiftyFifty generates shareable preview images (Open Graph images) for public quilts and patterns so they display correctly when linked on social media platforms such as Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, and X.

Other users and visitors may share links to your public content, pin your designs to Pinterest, or post previews on social platforms. Your username or display name may appear alongside your public designs when shared in this way. If you do not want your content shared externally, mark it as private.

NiftyFifty uses essential cookies to manage your authenticated session; authentication is handled by Supabase.

We use Google Analytics to understand feature usage in aggregate, and we participate in Mediavine's Journey advertising program, whose Grow service may set cookies or use similar technologies to support content personalization and advertising on this site. You can review Grow's practices and manage your preferences at grow.me, and opt out of personalized advertising through your browser settings or industry opt-out tools.

We never sell your personal information, and account data (your email, profile, projects) is never shared with advertisers.

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 swaps (block photos, posts) may persist in the archive unless you delete it before closing your account.

• 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
