# Privacy Policy for Sunset Stitching

Last Updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how and when Sunset Stitching ("I," "me," "my," or "we") collects, uses, and shares information when you purchase an item from my Etsy shop, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com and its related sites and services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third-party services you access through Etsy. Please review Etsy's Privacy Policy for more information about its privacy practices.

## Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, Etsy provides me with certain information that you have authorized Etsy to share, including:

* Your name
* Email address
* Shipping and billing address
* Payment information (processed securely through Etsy)
* Details of the products you purchase

You may also choose to provide additional personal information if you contact me directly regarding an order, custom request, or customer service inquiry.

## Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

I rely on several legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

* To provide and fulfill my services, including processing orders, shipping products, communicating about orders, and providing customer support.
* When you provide consent, such as when you choose to receive marketing communications.
* To comply with legal obligations, including tax, accounting, and recordkeeping requirements.
* For legitimate business interests, including improving customer service, operating my Etsy shop, and complying with Etsy's Seller Policies and Terms of Use.

## Information Sharing and Disclosure

Customer information is important to my business. I only share your personal information in limited circumstances, including:

### Etsy

I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide my services and comply with Etsy's Seller Policies and Terms of Use.

### Shipping and Service Providers

I may share information with trusted third-party service providers, such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, or other delivery services, solely for the purpose of fulfilling and shipping your order.

### Compliance with Laws

I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to:

* Respond to legal processes or government requests
* Enforce my agreements, policies, or terms
* Investigate fraud, security concerns, or illegal activity
* Protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers or others

### Business Transfers

If Sunset Stitching is sold, merged, or transferred, customer information may be transferred as part of that transaction, as permitted by law.

## Data Retention

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide my services and comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

Generally, I retain order information for up to 4 years for tax, accounting, and business recordkeeping purposes. After that period, information is securely deleted unless I am legally required to retain it longer.

## Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

Because Etsy and some service providers may operate outside of your country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions.

If personal information is transferred outside the European Union, I rely on Etsy's and other service providers' compliance mechanisms and legal safeguards for international data transfers.

## Your Rights

If you reside in certain jurisdictions, including the European Union, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including:

### Access

You may request access to the personal information I hold about you.

### Correction

You may request that inaccurate information be corrected.

### Deletion

You may request that I delete your personal information, subject to any legal obligations requiring me to retain certain records.

### Restriction and Objection

You may object to certain processing activities or request that processing be restricted.

### Complaints

If you reside in the EU and believe your data protection rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with your local data protection authority.

## Contact Information

For purposes of EU data protection law, Sunset Stitching is the data controller of your personal information.
