This policy explains what information SawsHub (sawshub.com, “we,” “us”) collects when you use the site, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information you give us
- Contact form and email. When you contact us, we receive your name, email address and message.
- Orders. When you buy a pattern from our shop, we collect your name, email address and billing details so we can complete the order and send your download. Card payments are processed by Stripe. We do not see or store your full card number.
- Comments. If you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address and comment text you submit, plus your IP address. Comments are checked for spam by Akismet.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, SawsHub collects some information when you visit, using cookies and similar tools:
- Server logs. Our host records basic request data such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security and troubleshooting.
- Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages people visit and how they find us. Google collects data such as pages viewed, device and browser type, and approximate location. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
- Spam protection. Our contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to block bots, which may process your IP address and browser data.
- Shop cookies. Our store sets cookies to keep track of your cart and checkout.
Affiliate links and embedded content
When you click an affiliate link, such as a link to Amazon, the retailer may set a cookie so it can credit us for a purchase. That retailer’s own privacy policy applies once you leave SawsHub. Some articles embed YouTube videos. YouTube may set cookies when you play a video, under Google’s privacy policy.
How we use information
- To answer your questions and messages
- To process orders and deliver your downloads
- To understand which guides are useful and improve the site
- To keep the site secure and block spam
Who we share information with
We share information only with the service providers that help run SawsHub: our web host, Stripe for payments, Google, Akismet and Cloudflare. We do not sell your personal information for money.
How long we keep information
We keep order records for as long as we need them for accounting and tax purposes. We keep messages and comments until they are no longer needed or until you ask us to delete them. Analytics data is kept according to each provider’s settings.
Your choices and rights
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. To make a request, email [email protected]. We will not treat you differently for making a request.
Children
SawsHub is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, email us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect the information we collect, including encrypted connections (HTTPS). No website can guarantee complete security.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.
