• Additional information for custom requests or communications
• Data that may be collected automatically (e.g. cookies, device data, analytics, and tracking technologies)
• Information required to detect and prevent fraudulent or illegal activity
How and Why I Use Your Information
I process your information as permitted by applicable laws and regulations for purposes including:
• Order fulfillment: Processing, shipping, and delivering your purchases, sending order updates, customer support, and returns management

• Consent-based marketing: If you opt in, I may send newsletters or promotional updates; you may revoke consent at any time
• Legitimate interests: Improving services, analyzing shop performance, addressing disputes, and complying with Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use
If I use AI-powered or automated decision systems (e.g., for order tracking, fraud detection, or analytics), you will be informed, and you may request human review of any AI-powered decisions affecting your rights .
Information Sharing and Disclosure
I share your data only in these circumstances:
