Privacy Policy for Summer Club Collection
Effective Date: May 30, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share 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. This policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.

1. Information I Collect
To process 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 (handled securely by Etsy and not stored by me)
- Details of the product you’re ordering
- Any personal information you provide in messages related to your order

You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (e.g., for custom orders) if you contact me directly.

2. Why I Collect Your Information & How I Use It

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

- To fulfill your order: I use your information to provide my services, such as processing your order, managing shipping, and providing customer support.
- Compliance with legal obligations: If required by law (such as tax reporting), I may retain and disclose certain personal information.
- To improve my shop: I may use non-identifiable data to analyze trends and enhance my shop’s performance.
- Marketing communications (only with your explicit consent): If you opt-in to my newsletter or promotions, I will send you relevant updates.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

I share your information in very limited circumstances:

- Etsy: I share information as necessary to comply with Etsy’s policies and fulfill your orders.
- Service providers: I engage trusted third parties (e.g., delivery companies) to perform functions related to my shop. I share your details only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
- Compliance with laws: I may collect, retain, and share your information if I believe it is necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, enforce my agreements, or respond to legal claims.

4. Data Retention

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce my agreements. Generally, I keep data for up to 7 years for tax and legal compliance.

5. Transfers of Personal Data Outside the EU

I may store and process your information through third-party services outside the EU/EEA (such as cloud storage providers). In such cases, I take steps to ensure that these services comply with GDPR safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms).

6. Your Rights

If you reside in the EU, UK, or other applicable regions, you have certain rights under GDPR, including:
- Access: You can request a copy of the personal data I hold about you.
- Correction: You can request that I correct or update inaccurate information.
- Deletion: You may have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements.
- Objection & Restriction: You can object to my processing of your data or request limited processing in certain circumstances.
- Data Portability: You can request to receive your personal data in a structured format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact me through Etsy's messaging center.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Etsy may use cookies or similar technologies to improve your shopping experience. Please refer to Etsy’s Cookie Policy to manage your preferences.

8. Contact Information
For any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact me through Etsy's messaging center.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my practices or for legal compliance. The latest version will always be available here, and I will notify you of any significant changes if required by law.
