When you make a purchase from my shop, some personal details are required so that the order can be completed correctly. Etsy shares with me only the information you have agreed to provide, such as your name, email address, shipping details, payment status and the products you have ordered.

If you choose to reach out to me personally, for example to ask a question or request a custom item, you may share additional information at your own discretion.

How and Why Your Data Is Used

Your personal data is handled carefully and only when there is a clear reason to do so. It may be used to:

process, prepare and dispatch your order;

communicate with you about a purchase, delivery or inquiry;

assist you with customer support or resolve order-related concerns;

improve my shop, products and overall shopping experience;

comply with legal, accounting and tax-related obligations;

follow Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Depending on the situation, data processing is based on your consent, legal requirements or my legitimate interest in operating and developing my small business.

When Information Is Shared

I do not trade, sell or improperly use personal data. Information is shared only in limited and necessary circumstances:

with Etsy, to ensure the proper operation of the shop and fulfilment of orders;

with shipping and delivery providers, solely to deliver your purchase;

during business changes, such as a sale or transfer, when permitted by law;

when required by legal authorities, to meet legal obligations or protect my rights and customers.

How Long Data Is Kept

Personal information is retained only for as long as it serves a legitimate purpose.
Order-related data is generally stored for up to 4 years, in accordance with accounting and regulatory requirements.

Processing Data Outside the EU

Some technical tools used to run this shop, including hosting or data storage services, may be based outside the European Union, such as in the United States. This means that personal data may be processed in regions with different data protection laws.

In all such cases, appropriate safeguards are applied to ensure responsible and lawful data handling.

Your Rights Regarding Personal Data

If you are located in the EU or other regions with applicable data protection laws, you are entitled to certain rights, including:

requesting access to the personal data held about you;

requesting corrections or deletion of your data, unless retention is legally required;

limiting or objecting to specific types of data processing;

withdrawing consent at any time;

filing a complaint with your local data protection authority.
