This Privacy Policy describes how I use the data you submit to Etsy when you purchase an item from me, or contact me in any way. It does not apply to third party services you access through Etsy.
To fulfill an order, you provide certain information to Etsy (name, address, email, custom request info, etc.). Also, certain info may be passed along in a Conversation to answer a question or help me in further fulfilling your order.
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including: 1. As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support. 2. When you have provided your consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list. 3. If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim (retaining information about your purchases) and as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests (providing or improving my services and also in compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use).
Information about my customers is very important to my business. I will only share the information you give me and only as much as is necessary in the following circumstances: 1. Etsy: in order to provide you my services and fulfill my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use. 2. Service Providers: in order to ship packages. 3. Compliance with Laws: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information in order to respond to the legal process or government requests; enforce my agreements, terms and policies; to prevent,investigate, and address fraud or other illegal activity; or to protect the rights, safety, or property of customers.
I retain your personal information only as long as needed to complete a transaction. However, as I may need to use the information to resolve disputes or comply with legal or regulatory obligations, I can keep the information for 4 years.
I may store and process your data through third-party services such as Etsy. If I transfer your data outside of the EU, I use Privacy Shield provided by Google.
You have a number of rights in relation to your personal information: 1. Access: you may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me. 2. Change, restrict, delete: You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information (exception: when I retain your information for legal reasons - I will generally delete your personal information upon request). 3. Object: You can object to my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and also receiving marketing messages from me after providing your consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless it is needed for legal reasons. 4. Complaints: If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Karen Derian, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at simplycreativeliving [!at] gmail.com . Alternately, you may mail me at: 22604 Gordon Rd., Saint Clair Shores, MI 48081
