- With your consent (e.g., newsletters) — you may revoke consent at any time
- To comply with legal obligations (tax/accounting)
- For legitimate interests that don’t override your rights (e.g., improving my services, complying with Etsy’s Seller Policy)

4. Information Sharing & Disclosure

- Service providers — third parties who help me operate the shop (e.g., shipping carriers, bookkeeping/tax tools) and who commit to safeguard personal data
