Your data, explained simply
OwnCraft helps businesses build and publish websites. To do that we need some information about you and your website. This page explains, in plain words, what we collect, why we need it and the control you have over it.

At a glance
We never sell your data
Your information runs your website. We never sell it or share it with advertisers.
Kept safe
Encrypted connections and passwords stored in a form no one can read.
You own your content
Your text, photos and products are yours, always.
Delete any time
Ask us and we delete your account and its data.
1What we collect
- Account details: your name, email, phone number (optional) and business name. Your password is stored only as a secure hash — not even we can read it.
- Google sign-in: if you choose “Continue with Google”, Google gives us your name, email and profile picture. We never see your Google password, Gmail, Drive or anything else.
- Your website: the text, images, videos, products, blog posts and settings you add in the editor.
- Your visitors' messages and orders: when someone fills in a contact form or orders from your website, we keep what they send so you can see it in your dashboard.
- Basic technical data: IP address, browser and device type, used to keep the service secure and working.
2Why we use it
- To create your account and sign you in safely, including the one-time codes we email you.
- To save, host and publish your website.
- To show you the messages and orders your website receives.
- To send important service emails: sign-up codes, password resets and new-message alerts.
- To stop abuse, fix problems and make the service better.
- To see which of our Facebook ads bring people to owncraft.net (see Cookies below).
We do not sell your personal information and we do not show you ads.
4If you visited a website built with OwnCraft
Each business decides what its website asks for. When you message or order from a business, that business is responsible for your information and OwnCraft stores it for them. Please contact the business first; you are also welcome to contact us.
5How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account is active. When you delete your website or account, we delete its data within 30 days, except records the law requires us to keep (such as order records).
6Your choices
- See and change your details any time in your dashboard settings.
- Ask us for a copy of your data, or to correct or delete it.
- Remove our access to your Google account at myaccount.google.com/permissions
8Security
All connections use HTTPS, passwords are hashed, and only the people who need to run the service can access data. No system is perfect, so please use a strong password and never share your sign-in codes.
9Children
OwnCraft is made for businesses and is not meant for children under 13.
