This Privacy Policy explains how Liberty Patches (“Liberty Patches,” “we,” “us” or “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit libertypatches.com (the “Site”), request a quote, send us artwork or place an order. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.

This information is collected using cookies and similar technologies described in Section 5.

- Produce, inspect and ship your order
- Process payments and send order confirmations and tracking updates by email or SMS
- Respond to your questions and support requests
- Keep records of approved proofs, artwork and stitch files for reorders

3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
We share information only with parties that help us run the business, and only as needed for them to do their job:
- Production partners. The US production houses that make your order receive your artwork and order specifications.
- Payment processor. Stripe processes your payment.
- Shipping carriers. UPS and FedEx receive your name, shipping address and, where needed, phone number to deliver your order.
- Service providers. These include website hosting, email, and analytics providers.
- Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law, court order or government request, or to protect our rights, customers or the public.
- Business transfers. If Liberty Patches is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
4. Your Artwork
Artwork you send remains yours. We use it only to quote, proof, produce and reorder your items. We do not sell it or reuse it for anyone else. We may show finished products in our gallery, on social media or in marketing. If you do not want your design shown, tell us at any time and we will not use it, or we will remove it.
5. Cookies and Analytics
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies, including Google Tag Manager, which may load analytics tools such as Google Analytics. These help us understand traffic and improve the Site.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the Site may not work properly if you do. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Data Retention
We keep quote requests, order records, proofs and artwork files for as long as needed to fulfill orders, support reorders, and meet tax, accounting and legal requirements. You can ask us to delete your information at any time. We will do so unless we are required to keep it.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

- Tell you what personal information we hold about you
