Privacy Policy - Crochet with Salma

1. Who is responsible

This website is managed by Salma, publisher of Crochet Flowers. For privacy enquiries, contact giftblog2025@gmail.com. A personal street address is not displayed on this public page.

2. Hosting and server logs

The website is hosted by Hostinger International Ltd. When a page is requested, the hosting provider may process technical log data such as IP address, request date and time, requested page, transferred data, browser, operating system, referrer and access status. This processing helps keep the site secure, diagnose errors and prevent abuse. Logs are deleted or anonymised when they are no longer needed, subject to legal retention requirements.

3. Email enquiries

If you contact us by email, we use your message, email address and related metadata to respond. We retain the information only for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and meet any applicable legal obligations.

4. Comments

If you leave a comment, WordPress processes the form details, comment, date and time, and technical information such as your IP address and browser. These details may be used to moderate comments and prevent spam or abuse. Published comments generally remain visible while the related content is online; internal security data is removed when no longer needed.

5. Cookies and local storage

Crochet Flowers does not currently use analytics or marketing cookies. WordPress may use technically necessary cookies for sign-in and administration. If you choose to remember your details when commenting, convenience cookies may be stored in your browser. See our Cookie Policy for more information.

6. WordPress, media and caching

The website uses WordPress. Images and other media are served by this website. LiteSpeed Cache helps pages load more quickly and reliably. Optional QUIC.cloud services are not currently enabled. Caching is used for technical performance, not to create user profiles.

7. Recipients and international transfers

Personal information is shared only with service providers that need it to operate, secure or support the website, such as the hosting provider. It is not shared for advertising. Where a provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, appropriate legal safeguards apply.

8. Retention and your rights

Information is kept only as long as necessary for its purpose or as required by law, then deleted or anonymised. Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to processing. You may also withdraw consent for future processing and lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. To exercise your rights, email giftblog2025@gmail.com.

9. Security and updates

The site uses TLS encryption, shown by “https://” in your browser. This policy may be updated when the services used or legal requirements change.
