Patch Crew LLC (“Patch Crew,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit patchcrew.co, subscribe to Patch Notes or other emails, make a donation, purchase a digital product, submit our contact form, or otherwise interact with the site.
Patch Crew is designed to be useful without invasive tracking or data collection, and we intentionally limit the personal information we collect.
The section headings and numbered order used in this policy are for convenience and readability only and do not affect the interpretation, priority, or enforceability of any provision.
1. Information we collect
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, create behavioral profiles, or use analytics to identify individual visitors. We collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate Patch Crew, deliver requested content, process transactions, communicate with you, and meet our legal obligations.
Information you provide
Depending on how you interact with the site, we may collect:
• Email address and subscription preferences when you join Patch Notes or request other emails through Kit
• Name, transaction details, and other information needed when you donate through Stripe or purchase digital products through Gumroad
• Messages and information you choose to submit through our contact form
We do not require account creation and do not collect unnecessary personal data.
Payments and donations
Donations are processed by Stripe, and digital product purchases are processed by Gumroad. These providers collect and process payment and transaction information under their own terms and privacy policies.
• We do not store full credit card numbers
• Payment processors handle all sensitive payment information under their own privacy policies
• We may receive limited transaction records, such as your name, email address, purchase or donation amount, product, date, and payment status, but we do not directly handle or store full payment-card numbers
2. How we use your information
We use your information to:
• Send newsletters and updates you’ve opted into
• Process donations and digital product purchases
• Respond to messages or questions
• Improve content and usability
• Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
Where applicable, we process personal information with your consent, to provide a service or complete a transaction you requested, to comply with law, or for legitimate interests such as operating, securing, and improving Patch Crew—provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
3. Email communications
Patch Crew uses Kit as an email service provider to manage subscriptions and deliver Patch Notes and other requested email updates. Kit processes subscriber information on our behalf under its own privacy and data-protection terms.
• You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email
• We do not share or sell email addresses to third parties for marketing
4. Cookies and analytics
Patch Crew does not use advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics cookies.
We use Framer Analytics and Plausible Analytics to understand aggregate site traffic, performance, and which content visitors find useful. Both services are configured as privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics and are not used by Patch Crew to identify visitors or track them across websites. This analytics setup:
• Does not use cookies
• Does not collect personal data
• Does not track users across websites
• Does not identify individual visitors
• Respects Do Not Track signals
Based on our current site configuration, these analytics services do not use non-essential cookies. If we add a technology that requires consent or changes how information is collected, we will update this policy and provide any notice or controls required by applicable law.
5. Affiliate links
Patch Crew may include affiliate links to products or services (such as Amazon).
• Clicking an affiliate link may earn Patch Crew LLC a small commission
• There is no additional cost to you
• Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial content
6. Sharing information
We may share information only in limited circumstances:
• With trusted service providers that perform services for us, including Kit for email delivery, Stripe for donations, Gumroad for digital product purchases, Framer for website hosting and built-in analytics, and Plausible for privacy-friendly analytics
• To comply with legal obligations
• In the event of a business transfer (such as a merger or acquisition)
We do not sell or rent personal information.
Patch Crew and its service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where required, service providers use appropriate safeguards for international transfers. Their handling of information is also governed by their own privacy terms.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:
• Access your personal information
• Request corrections or deletion

8. Children’s privacy
Patch Crew is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us, and we will remove it.
9. Third-party links
Our website may link to third-party websites (including affiliate partners). We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies.
10. Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. However, no method of internet transmission is completely secure.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing requested services, maintaining transaction and business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and satisfying legal, tax, accounting, or reporting obligations. Retention periods may also be governed by our service providers’ policies.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our services or legal obligations change. The “Last updated” date will identify the current version. Changes become effective when posted unless applicable law requires additional notice or consent.
