This Privacy Policy describes how and when American Grain Co. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you purchase an item from us, contact us, or otherwise use our services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control, including Etsy or any third-party services you access through Etsy.
1. Information We Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide us with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to us), such as:
Your name and email address.
Your shipping address and payment information.
The details of the product that you’re ordering (e.g., Organic Colloidal Oatmeal, Beet Root Powder).
Any additional personal information if you contact us directly (such as for a custom order).
2. Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It
We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
Service Provision: As needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support.
Compliance: 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.
Legitimate Interests: 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 and 2) compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
Information about our customers is important to our business. We share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
Etsy: We share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you our services and comply with our obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service Providers: We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our shop, such as delivery companies (e.g., USPS, UPS). We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
Compliance with Laws: We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce our 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 our customers, or others.
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as described in our Privacy Policy. However, we may also be required to retain this information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations (such as tax laws). We generally keep your data for the following time period: 7 years.
5. 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. We describe these rights below:
Access: You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below.
Change, Restrict, Delete: You may also have rights to change, restrict our use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where we are required to store data for legal reasons) we will generally delete your personal information upon request.
Complain: If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about our 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.
