umanmade™ respects your privacy and aims to be clear about how personal information is collected, used, and protected.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have when using umanmade™.

1. Who we are

umanmade™ is a curated directory for human-made design and code.

The platform allows creators to submit original work for review. We may also curate publicly available work that we find interesting and feature it with attribution and a link to the original source when possible.

For questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at: legal@umanmade.com

2. Information we collect

We may collect information you provide directly when you use umanmade™, including your name or creator name, email address, website or portfolio link, social profile links, project title, project description, project category, tools used, submitted media previews, proof of original creation, and any other information you choose to include in a submission or message.

We may also collect basic technical information automatically, such as IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location, referring pages, pages visited, date and time of visits, and basic usage or performance data.

3. Submitted work and proof files

When you submit work to, you may be asked to provide a media preview and proof of original creation. Proof files may include process screenshots, video recordings, or other supporting material.

Proof files are used to review whether a submission matches our human-made criteria. They are not intended to be published publicly unless clearly stated or agreed otherwise.

4. How we use your information

We may use your information to review submissions, verify whether submitted work matches our criteria, publish approved work in the directory, credit creators properly, contact you about your submission, respond to questions, removal requests, rights requests, or support messages, improve the website and submission process, prevent spam, abuse, fraud, misleading submissions, or misuse of the platform, maintain the safety and quality of the directory, and comply with legal obligations.

5. Public information

If your work is approved and published, some information may become public, including your creator name, project title, project description, submitted media preview, category, tools used, and any website, portfolio, or social links you provided.

Do not submit information that you do not want displayed publicly.

6. Curated work found by us

umanmade™ may sometimes feature publicly available work that was not submitted directly by the creator.

When we do this, we aim to credit the original creator clearly and link back to the source whenever possible.

If your work has been featured and you would like it removed, updated, credited differently, or linked to a different source, contact us at takedown@umanmade.com

7. Cookies and analytics

umanmade™ may use cookies or similar technologies to help the website function, understand how visitors use the site, improve performance, and protect against abuse.

We may use analytics tools to collect general usage information, such as page views, traffic sources, device type, browser type, approximate location, and interactions with the website.

If we use optional analytics, tracking, or marketing cookies, we may ask for consent where required.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings.

8. Third-party services

umanmade™ may use third-party services to operate the website, process submissions, store uploaded files, send emails, manage forms, monitor performance, protect the website, or analyze usage.

These services may process personal information only as needed to provide their services to us.

Examples may include website hosting providers, form tools, file storage providers, email services, analytics tools, and security services.

9. How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Submission information may be kept for as long as necessary to review, publish, manage, moderate, or archive the submitted work.

Proof files may be kept for as long as needed to review the submission, handle disputes, verify originality, or respond to rights-related concerns.

If you request removal of your work or personal information, we will review the request and delete, hide, update, or anonymize information where appropriate.

10. How we protect information

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

However, no website, storage system, or online transmission is completely secure. You submit information at your own risk.

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct inaccurate or incomplete information, request deletion of your personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, request a copy of your personal information, or ask how your information is used.

12. Children

umanmade™ is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will review the issue.

13. International processing

Your information may be processed or stored in countries different from where you live, depending on the services we use to operate. Where required, we aim to use appropriate safeguards for data transfers.

14. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

If we make significant changes, we may update the effective date or provide notice where appropriate.

Your continued use of after changes are posted means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
