Awl & Stitch Privacy Policy

Last updated November 7, 2026

Last updated: November 7, 2026.

This policy describes what actually happens to data when you visit awlandstitch.com. The short version: we collect almost nothing, and we like it that way.

The short version

  • Awl & Stitch is a static website. There are no user accounts, no comment sections, no newsletter, and no shopping cart.
  • We do not set cookies. Nothing on this site asks your browser to store a tracking cookie on our behalf.
  • We run no analytics right now. If we later enable Cloudflare Web Analytics — a privacy-friendly, cookie-less service — we will update this page first, and the "Last updated" date above will change.
  • Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, as every host does.
  • Clicking an affiliate link takes you to AliExpress, where their own cookies and privacy policy apply.
  • We do not sell personal information.

What we collect

By us, automatically: nothing. No cookies set by us, no tracking pixels, no analytics scripts, no fingerprinting.

Server logs (kept by our host). Like any website, our host processes standard technical logs — IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps — to deliver pages and protect against abuse. We don't use these logs to profile visitors or build advertising audiences. Retention and handling are governed by the host's own policies.

If you email us. We receive your email address and whatever you choose to send. We use it only to reply to you and, for corrections, to verify and document the fix. We don't add anyone to marketing lists, and we don't share addresses with anyone.

When you click a link marked as an affiliate link, you leave our site and land on AliExpress (or, in future, another retailer). From that point on, AliExpress's privacy policy governs: their cookies, their tracking, their data handling — none of which we control or can see.

We never receive your AliExpress account details, order contents, or payment information. At most, the affiliate program reports aggregated commission data to us — for example, that a certain number of qualifying orders came through our links — without identifying you.

Analytics: current status and future plan

Right now, no analytics runs on this site. If traffic grows enough to be worth measuring, we plan to use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookie-less and does not fingerprint visitors or follow you across sites. We will update this policy when — and only when — that actually goes live. Until then, this section describes intent, not reality, and reality is: no analytics.

Your California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA gives you rights over personal information, including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale or sharing.

Here is our honest position: we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under CCPA/CPRA — we don't collect personal information to begin with, beyond what you volunteer in an email to us. You may nonetheless contact us at hello@awlandstitch.com to make any request, and we will respond as the law requires once your message reaches us. Exercising these rights will never affect the content or price you see on this site, because there is nothing to discriminate with.

Children

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

If our data practices ever change — for example, if analytics is switched on or a contact form is added — we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above before the change takes effect.
