Draft, last updated 2026-09-30

Crafting Event Finder is a directory of crafting events. You can browse without an account. This page explains what we collect and why.

What we collect

  • Your email address, if you sign in. We use it to send sign-in links and, if you choose, event updates.
  • An optional display name.
  • Basic security records, like the time and IP address of sign-in requests, to stop abuse.
  • Events you submit, including the organizer email you provide, so we can review the listing.
  • How the site is used, through Google Analytics: pages visited, how you found us, your device and browser, and your rough location (city level). Google Analytics uses cookies for this. We never send it your email or account details.

Your saved choices

When you pick crafts, in person or online, free events, a time range or a place on the home page, we remember them in a cookie called cef_prefs so you see the same choices next time.

  • It holds only those choices: your crafts, in person or online, free only, the time range, and a place you chose yourself.
  • It never holds the location we guess from your internet connection. That guess is used for one page and not stored.
  • It lasts a year, and signing out clears it.
  • If you are signed in, the same choices are saved to your account so they follow you to other devices.

Event listings

We list public information about events, sometimes gathered from organizers' public web pages, and we always link to the source. Organizers can ask us to correct or remove a listing at any time.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your data. We use service providers to run the site: our database host, our email provider (Resend), which sends sign-in emails, and Google Analytics, which counts visits. They process data only to provide those services. You can block Google Analytics with the free browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or any ad blocker, and the site works the same. We keep a record of the emails we send you (when, which kind, what it said, and whether it arrived) for 90 days, to make sure they reach you.

Your choices

You can change your display name or delete your account from your account page. Deleting your account removes your email, name and saved choices, and signs you out everywhere.
