Privacy Policy for Lighthouse SVG Design

At Lighthouse SVG Design, accessible from our Etsy shop, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Lighthouse SVG Design and how we use it.

1. Information We Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide us with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to us), such as your name, email address, postal address (if applicable), payment information, and the details of the digital product/design that you’re ordering.

2. Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It
We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
- As needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
- If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
- As necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving our digital vector services.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
Information about our customers is important to our business. We share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
- Etsy: We share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you our services and comply with our obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
- Service providers: We may engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our shop (such as analytics tools like Google Analytics). We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
- Compliance with laws: We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce our agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of our customers, or others.

4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our vector design services and as described in our Privacy Policy. However, we may also be required to retain this information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We generally keep your data for the following time period: 5 years (for tax and accounting auditing purposes).

5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
We may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction.

6. Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. We describe these rights below:
- Access: You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below.
- Change, restrict, delete: You may also have rights to change, restrict our use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where we are required to store data for legal reasons) we will generally delete your personal information upon request.
- Complain: If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about our 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.

7. Cookie Policy
Lighthouse SVG Design uses cookies and similar tracking technologies provided by Etsy and trusted third parties (such as Google Analytics) to improve your browsing experience, remember your shop preferences, process orders securely, and understand how visitors interact with our shop. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options, but please note that disabling them may lower or break certain elements and functionalities of the shop checkout and digital delivery.

How to Contact Us
For purposes of EU data protection law, I, the owner of Lighthouse SVG Design, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact us through Etsy conversations or directly via our registered business email.
