Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how blumengrat collects, uses, and protects your personal information. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and handling your data responsibly. This policy outlines what information we gather, how we use it, and the rights you have regarding your personal data.

Information We Collect

We collect information in several ways to enhance your experience with our platform. When you register for our workshops or subscribe to educational materials, we gather your name, email address, and contact information. We also collect data about your browsing behavior, including pages visited, time spent on our site, and interactions with our content about sewing projects, upcycling techniques, and Latvian textile crafts.

Additionally, we may collect information through cookies and similar tracking technologies to understand how you navigate our site and to improve our services. This includes data about your device type, operating system, and browser preferences. If you contact us directly with questions about our workshops in Rīga and Ventspils or our linen product recommendations, we keep records of that communication.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide and improve our services. Your data helps us deliver personalized educational content about sewing machine projects, upcycling strategies, and home textile creation. We use your email address to send you updates about new workshop schedules, material recommendations from Latvian linen producers, and educational resources relevant to your interests.

We analyze aggregated usage data to enhance our website functionality and user experience. This helps us understand which sewing techniques and craft projects resonate most with our community. We may also use your information to respond to your inquiries, provide customer support, and comply with legal obligations. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time. You can request a copy of the data we hold about you, correct any inaccuracies, or ask us to remove your information from our systems. You also have the right to opt out of receiving promotional emails about our workshops and educational materials.

To exercise these rights, simply contact us with your request. We will respond to legitimate requests within thirty days. You may also restrict how we use your data for marketing purposes while still allowing us to maintain your account and provide essential services. Your privacy and control over your personal information are paramount to us.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience on our site. These small files store information about your preferences, login status, and navigation history. Cookies help us remember your interests in specific sewing techniques or workshop locations, allowing us to provide more relevant content and recommendations.

We use both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device longer. We also use web analytics tools to track site performance and user behavior patterns. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences, though disabling cookies may limit some functionality. For detailed information about our cookie practices, please review our Cookie Policy.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our systems use industry-standard encryption protocols for sensitive data transmission. We maintain secure servers and restrict access to personal information to authorized personnel only.

While we strive to protect your data, no security system is completely impenetrable. We encourage you to use strong passwords, keep your login credentials confidential, and notify us immediately of any suspicious activity. We regularly review and update our security practices to address emerging threats and maintain the highest protection standards for our users.

Third-Party Services

We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering our services. These providers may include email marketing platforms, analytics services, and hosting providers. All third parties are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and must maintain the same level of confidentiality and security as we do.

We do not control third-party websites or their privacy practices. If you access external links from our site related to Latvian textile suppliers or sewing communities, we recommend reviewing their privacy policies separately. We are not responsible for how third parties handle your information.

Children's Privacy

Our services are intended for adults and those aged 13 and older with parental consent. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it immediately and notify the parent or guardian. Parents who believe their child has provided information to us should contact us right away.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, by sending you a notification. Your continued use of our services after updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information.
