Privacy Policy for Riot Thread Studio
Last updated: December 20, 2025

Welcome to Riot Thread Studio on Etsy. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and share your personal information when you purchase an item from my shop, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

1. Information I Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as:

Your name
Email address
Postal address
Payment information
Details of the product(s) you’re ordering
You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information, such as for a custom order, if you contact me directly.

2. Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on several legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

As needed to provide my services (fulfilling your order, settling disputes, or offering customer support).
When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you can revoke at any time.
To comply with a legal obligation or court order, or in connection with a legal claim.
For my legitimate interests, such as providing and improving my services, in a way that does not override your rights or interests.
For example, I use your information to comply with Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
I share your personal information for limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Etsy: I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Service providers: I engage trusted third parties (such as delivery companies) to perform functions and provide services to my shop. I share your personal information with these third parties but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
Compliance with laws: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I believe it is reasonably necessary to:
Respond to legal or government requests
Enforce my agreements, terms, and policies
Prevent, investigate, and address fraud or other illegal activity
Protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers or others

4. Data Retention
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in this Privacy Policy. I also may be required to retain this information to comply with legal and tax obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce my agreements.

I generally keep your data for 5 years, as required by U.S. tax laws.

5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the U.S. and other jurisdictions.
As a result, your personal information may be transferred to a jurisdiction with data protection and government surveillance laws that differ from those in your own country.

When transferring data outside the EU, I rely on Etsy’s GDPR compliance framework and standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure your data is protected.

6. Your Rights (GDPR)
If you reside in the EU, you have several rights regarding your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, others apply only in certain cases. You have the right to:

Access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you.
Rectify or correct your personal data where it is inaccurate or incomplete.
Erase your data (subject to certain legal requirements).
Restrict how I process your data.
Object to my processing of some of your information, including marketing communications.
Data portability — request your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
You can exercise these rights by contacting me directly (see below).

7. How to Contact Me
For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Riot Thread Studio (owned by Scott Miller), am the data controller of your personal information.

If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at:
Email: coloradocreations123@gmail.com

If you live in the EU and wish to raise a concern about the use of your information (without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to contact your local data protection authority.

Alternatively, you can contact Etsy directly regarding data handling:
