Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Upcycling does not require user registration, accounts, or logins to browse tutorials and repurposing guides. When you read a project page, our website records basic aggregated engagement metrics (such as pageviews and reading time) without collecting your name, email address, or payment details.

Basic server access logs (such as request timestamps, browser user-agent strings, and referring pages) may be processed temporarily for security, reliability, and spam prevention.

2. Cookies & Third-Party Advertising (Adsterra)

We partner with third-party advertising networks, including Adsterra, to display advertisements across Upcycling articles and project pages. These advertising partners may use cookies, JavaScript tags, web beacons, or similar technologies to serve relevant ads, limit ad repetition, and measure advertising performance.

Upcycling has no direct control over the cookies placed or read by third-party ad networks. Information collected through third-party ad tags is governed by each advertising partner’s own privacy policy.

3. Pinterest & External Links

Project pages include Pinterest Save buttons and outbound references so readers can save tutorials or check craft materials. When you click a Pinterest button or external link, you leave our pages or transmit the shared page URL to Pinterest in accordance with Pinterest’s privacy policy.

4. Managing Cookies

You can disable, clear, or block first-party and third-party cookies at any time through your web browser settings. Disabling third-party cookies will not prevent you from reading Upcycling project guides, though some embedded third-party widgets or ad placements may behave differently.

5. Children’s Privacy

Upcycling publishes general DIY and household repurposing content for a broad audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in site analytics, advertising integrations, or applicable regulations. Any updates will be published on this page with an updated effective date.
