Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 June 2026

The First Five Edit respects your privacy. This policy explains how I collect, use and share information when you purchase from this Etsy shop, contact me through Etsy, or choose to join my email list.

Information I collect

To fulfil your order, I may receive certain information from Etsy, including your name, email address, order details, payment status, billing information, and any messages you send through Etsy.

For digital products, Etsy processes and delivers the download through your Etsy account. I do not receive your full payment card details.

If you voluntarily sign up to The First Five Edit email list, I may collect your name and email address through the sign-up form.

Why I need your information

I use your information to:

fulfil and manage your order
provide customer support
respond to Etsy messages
resolve download or technical issues
comply with tax, accounting, legal and platform obligations
prevent fraud or misuse
send marketing emails only where you have separately opted in

I do not add Etsy buyers to my email marketing list automatically. You will only receive marketing emails from The First Five Edit if you actively subscribe.

Legal basis for using your information

I rely on different legal bases depending on how your information is used:

Contract: to fulfil your Etsy purchase and provide customer support.
Legal obligation: to keep records required for tax, accounting and compliance purposes.
Legitimate interests: to manage my shop, improve customer service, prevent fraud and protect my business.
Consent: for email marketing, where you have chosen to subscribe.

You can withdraw consent to marketing emails at any time by clicking unsubscribe in any email.

Sharing your information

I only share your personal information where necessary.

Your information may be shared with:

Etsy, as the marketplace platform processing your order
payment processors, as handled through Etsy
email service providers, if you separately subscribe to the email list
professional advisers, such as accountants or legal advisers, where required
public authorities, if required by law

I do not sell your personal information.

Email marketing

If you sign up for a free resource, waitlist, launch update or newsletter, your email address may be stored with my email service provider.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any marketing email.

Purchasing from my Etsy shop does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails.

Data retention

I keep order information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including customer service, tax, accounting and legal record-keeping.

Etsy order records may also remain available within Etsy according to Etsy’s own privacy and retention policies.

If you subscribe to my email list, I will keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask for it to be deleted, unless I need to retain limited information for legal or compliance reasons.

Transfers outside the UK or EEA

Some services used to operate this shop, including Etsy and email service providers, may process information outside the UK or European Economic Area. Where this happens, those providers are responsible for using appropriate safeguards under applicable data protection laws.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

access the personal information held about you
correct inaccurate information
request deletion of your information
object to or restrict certain processing
withdraw consent to marketing
request a copy of your information

To make a request, contact me through Etsy Messages or email: thefirstfiveedit@gmail.com.

You can also contact Etsy directly about information held in your Etsy account.

Complaints

If you are in the UK and have concerns about how your personal information is handled, you can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority if you are based elsewhere.
