Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2026

Welcome to PatternJam, the online and mobile service of PatternJam, LLC. (“PatternJam,” “we,” or “us”). Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information that applies to our Service, and your choices about the collection and use of your information.

What information do we collect?

We ask for certain information such as your username, first and last name, and e-mail address when you register for a PatternJam account, or if you correspond with us. If you sign in with Facebook, Facebook shares your name and e-mail address with us. We may also retain any messages you send us, and may collect information you provide on your user profile. We use this information to operate, maintain, improve, and provide to you the features and functionality of PatternJam.

We also keep a record of how PatternJam is used: the pages you visit, the site or link that brought you here, the kind of device you use (phone, tablet or computer), and things you do in PatternJam, such as saving or sharing a design, opening a pattern PDF, or seeing and choosing a subscription offer. If you have an account, this is linked to it. We use it to understand which features people use and to improve PatternJam. We don't store your IP address with it, and we don't sell it.

So, does PatternJam use cookies?

Yes, PatternJam uses browser cookies to make your experience better. A cookie is actually a small data file that is transferred to your device. We use cookies to keep you signed in, to protect forms, and for our own analytics: a cookie named pj_aid remembers your browser for up to two years, and pj_sid groups the pages you visit into a visit and expires after 30 minutes without activity. Our analytics are stored on our own servers. The Pinterest Tag also sets cookies (see below).

Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from any website you visit. If you do this, it's possible that PatternJam might not work as well.

Are the fabric images I upload to PatternJam public?

Any images you upload to PatternJam will remain private unless you use them in a design, and then publish or share that design on social media.

Does PatternJam save email addresses?

PatternJam will save your email address so we can keep you up to date. Other email addresses you associated with your personal account may also be stored.

Will any of my personal information be shared with 3rd parties?

We don't sell your personal information. We share it only with services that help us run PatternJam, and only what they need:

• Stripe processes subscription payments. Your card details go directly to Stripe; we never see or store your card number.
• Postmark delivers the e-mails we send you, such as account and subscription e-mails.
• DigitalOcean hosts PatternJam and stores its data and images.
• Pinterest: we use the Pinterest Tag and Pinterest's Conversions API to measure our Pinterest ads. When you visit PatternJam, and when you view or start a subscription, Pinterest may receive the page you visited, your IP address, your browser details and, if you're signed in, a scrambled (hashed) form of your e-mail address. Pinterest's use of this information is covered by Pinterest's privacy policy.

If PatternJam is ever acquired, we will provide notice before any personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Will this privacy policy change?

As PatternJam evolves, this privacy policy is likely to evolve with it. We will not reduce your rights under this Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice.

If you've got any questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at hello@patternjam.com.
