### Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or 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. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.

### 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
* Shipping address

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

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
* **To provide my services:** Such as fulfilling your order, settling disputes, or providing customer support.
* **Consent:** When you have provided affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list.
* **Compliance:** 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.
* **Legitimate Interests:** If necessary for my legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as:
1) Providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and
2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

### 3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
* **Etsy:** I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
* **Service providers:** I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies (carriers). I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services (e.g., shipping to your address).
* **Business transfers:** If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
* **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: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my 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 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 my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 7 years.

### 5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I 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. I describe these rights below:
* **Access:** You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
* **Change, restrict, delete:** You may also have the right to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
* **Object:** You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. InNormally I can help with things like this, but I don't seem to have access to that content. You can try again or ask me for something else.
