Privacy policy
Last updated: September 30, 2026
DOOUYOU operates this storefront and Bead Club. This notice explains how information is used for the website, Shopify customer accounts, community features and communications. Products marked “Coming soon” are display previews; orders and payments are not currently accepted.
If you contact us through Shopify Inbox, DOOUYOU and Shopify process your messages and any contact details you choose to provide so we can respond and support you. Do not send payment-card details, passwords or verification codes in chat.
Information we use
Shopify processes account and sign-in information, including your email address and information you provide in your Shopify customer account. Contact forms and voluntary email subscriptions collect the information you submit. Our community receives a Shopify-verified customer identifier to connect your activity to your account; it does not store your Shopify password or email verification code.
When you use Bead Club, we store your chosen nickname, optional avatar, artwork title and description, preview image, uploaded bead-pattern file, palette and grid size, sharing/download permission, review status, likes, comments and relevant timestamps. Technical request information, including network or device information, may be processed to operate and protect the service and limit abuse.
Why we use it
We use this information to sign you in, save your profile, receive and review submissions, display approved content, maintain likes and comments, provide authorized pattern downloads, answer messages and keep the service reliable. We also process information where needed to comply with applicable obligations, resolve disputes or handle misuse.
What other people can see
Your nickname and avatar are public community profile information. Approved artwork previews, titles, descriptions, palette/grid details, displayed like counts and approved comments can be viewed by visitors. Your account email and internal Shopify customer identifier are not displayed in the community.
Artwork and comments await review before publication. Authorized reviewers can inspect pending submissions and their pattern files. Avatar changes are profile updates and are not subject to that artwork/comment approval queue. Complete pattern files are provided to signed-in members through the community service when the artwork is approved and the contributor has granted download permission.
Community uploads
Choosing to submit a work to Bead Club uploads the pattern file you select, a display preview and the details you enter. Saving a community avatar uploads an avatar image.
Service providers
Shopify hosts the storefront and provides customer accounts, sign-in and related store services. We use Cloudflare Workers to run the community service, D1 to store community records, and a private R2 bucket to store images and pattern files. Private storage does not mean every item is confidential: approved previews and public avatars are served to visitors through the community service.
Shopify also processes personal information about access to and use of the storefront to provide and improve its services, including enhanced services using interactions with this store, other merchants and Shopify. Shopify is responsible for its own processing for those purposes. See the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy, Shopify Privacy Portal and Cloudflare Privacy Policy. Providers may process information in countries other than where you live.
Email and marketing choices
Signing in, creating a profile, uploading or downloading a pattern does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails. Marketing subscription is a separate, voluntary choice. You can unsubscribe through the link in a marketing email. Messages needed to answer an inquiry or manage a service request are separate from marketing subscriptions.
Cookies and Shopify privacy choices
Shopify and enabled storefront services may use cookies and similar technologies for operation, preferences, analytics or advertising, according to the applicable privacy settings and choices. Use any available cookie preferences and data-sharing opt-out page to manage supported choices. Our custom community does not use permission to publish a work as consent to advertising.
Retention, withdrawal and deletion requests
Community records and files are retained as needed to provide the service, review content, handle requests and protect the service. Content that is rejected or removed from public view is not automatically erased from private storage. Routine security cleanup removes expired request/rate-control records; it does not automatically delete profiles or works.
To request access, a correction, withdrawal of a work, or deletion of community data, contact us using the details below and identify the account and relevant work. We may need to verify account ownership before acting. We handle the request according to its scope and applicable requirements; no fixed deletion time or automatic erasure is promised here. Removing content from DOOUYOU cannot recall copies that other people already downloaded.
Your information and children
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information, or object to certain processing. Contact us to make a request; Shopify-specific requests can also be made through its privacy portal. Community account services are not intended for children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, a parent or guardian can contact us about removal.
Security and changes
We limit community actions through account checks and review controls, but no online service can guarantee perfect security. Do not submit sensitive personal information in a public nickname, image or comment. We may update this notice when the service or our practices change and will update the date above.
