Privacy & terms.

Plain-English summary

Your stash, your palettes, your projects — they're yours. We don't sell your data. We don't sell ads. You can delete everything, any time.

What we collect

We collect the minimum needed to run the app. That includes:

• Account info — your email, chosen display name, and a hashed password.
• App content — projects, stash entries, saved palettes, bookmarks, Show & Tell posts, and community board replies.
• Device info — operating system, app version, and anonymous crash reports.
• Optional analytics — opt-in only. Off by default.

How we use it

To run the app, sync your data across your devices, and send essential service emails (password resets, receipts). Nothing else, unless you explicitly opt in — for example, to receive our monthly maker newsletter.

What we share

Short answer: we don't. We never sell your data, and we don't share it with advertisers.

We use a small number of essential service providers — payment processing (Stripe), cloud hosting (AWS), and crash reporting — all bound by strict data-processing agreements. We only share what's required for them to do their job.

Your rights

Whatever country you're in, you have the right to access, correct, and delete everything we hold about you. Settings → Account → Delete. Or email contact@getmakerly.com and a human will help within 30 days.

Terms of service

Use Makerly for your craft. Don't abuse the community. Don't try to scrape our block or shop libraries. We'll keep the lights on.

By using Makerly you agree not to use the service for illegal activity, to attempt to breach our security, or to scrape our block, shop, or community databases. We reserve the right to suspend accounts that do.

Subscriptions

Maker Pro subscriptions are billed through Stripe, our payment processor. Trials end silently — we never auto-enroll you into a paid plan. You can cancel any time from your account settings and keep your Pro features until the end of your paid period. Stripe stores your payment details under PCI-DSS standards; we never see or store your full card number.

Your content

You own what you make in Makerly. Period. We get a limited license to store, sync, and display your content back to you (and, if you post it to Show & Tell or a Community Board, to the other makers who see it). That's it.

Changes to these terms

If we materially change either policy, we'll email you and post a notice in the app at least 30 days before it takes effect. Minor wording changes (typos, clarifications) we'll just update in place with a new "Last updated" date.

Questions? Get in touch — we'd rather talk than hide behind a wall of legal text.
