This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we 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 including information on the following:

1. Personal information Be Sensitive Studio collects
Be Sensitive Studio should go on to explain what information Be Sensitive Studio collects from buyers, why Be Sensitive Studio needs the information, how Be Sensitive Studio uses it to fulfill orders, third parties with whom Be Sensitive Studio shares the information, and the length of time Be Sensitive Studio keeps the information. Here’s an example:

Information We Collect

To fulfil your order, you must provide us with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order of jewelry, for example), if you contact me directly.

2. The legal bases Be Sensitive Studio relies on to collect, use, and share personal information
The GDPR requires that you explain the legal bases you rely on to collect, use, and share personal information. The legal bases may include a buyer’s affirmative consent to receive marketing messages, compliance with legal obligations, and a seller’s use of the personal information in their legitimate interests (improving the services, for example). Throughout his privacy policy, Be Sensitive Studio should be as clear as possible about where and why Be Sensitive Studio's relying on those different legal bases. For example:

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 we use your information to fulfil 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 my legitimate interests, if those legitimate 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.
