Down to the nitty gritty stuff! I love to buy and sell on Etsy and realise how important it is to keep your information safe. Complying with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), I aim to be clear about how your information is used.

Your Information and How It Is Collected

To fulfil your order, you provide Etsy with certain information, which they then pass over to me, such as your name, address and email address, along with the details of the product that you are ordering. I do not store any of this information or print hard copies.

How I Use Your Information

When you provide your name, address and email address to Etsy, it is implied that you consent to the collection of your personal data, so your transaction can be completed. As part of the buying and selling process, I use your information to complete your order. I do not receive or store your any of your payment or card details. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. Please see Etsy’s policies on privacy and Terms of Service for more information.

If necessary, I will contact you about your order via the Etsy conversation tool, or email you if I can’t get hold of you and need to inform you of something urgent with you order.

Payment Processes

If you choose to pay via Etsy Payments, please see Etsy's Privacy policies regarding how they use your information.

If you Pay via Paypal, please see Paypal's terms of service regarding how they use your information.

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. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
-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.

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: 4 years.

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. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

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 rights 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. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
-Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

How to Contact Me

For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Imogen Richards, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at hello@everygoose.com.
