Your decision to disclose this data is entirely voluntary. You are under no obligation to provide this information, but your refusal will prevent you from making Etsy shop purchases from us. Our lawful basis for collecting personal information from you is to provide our services and to communicate with you through your consent when you make purchases with us. Our collection of personal information from you is limited to information that we require in order to provide our services to you.

Financial Data

Financial data is data that is related to your payment method, such as credit card or bank transfer details. We collect financial data in order to allow you to purchase or order products or services from the Etsy website shop and any related mobile apps.

- as needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
- when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for our mailing list;
- 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 1) providing and improving our services. we use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. We use your information as necessary to comply with our obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

We may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US, Canada, 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.
