PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: September 13, 2026
This policy explains how Robert Keeley, trading as ManagerWordsCo and based in Commerce City, Colorado, United States, handles personal information for our Etsy shop, related inquiries, and optional email signup. Robert Keeley is the data controller for this processing where applicable. In this policy, "we," "us," and "our" refer to ManagerWordsCo.
INFORMATION WE RECEIVE
Etsy provides information needed to manage your purchase, which may include your name, Etsy username, email address, billing or postal address, order details, and transaction status. We also receive information you choose to include in messages or support requests. Payment processing is handled through Etsy and its payment providers; we do not request or retain your full payment-card details.
If you choose to join our email list through managerwordsco.com or a ManagerWordsCo signup link, we receive your email address and any other details you choose to provide. MailerLite manages the signup and email delivery and may record signup time and source, IP address, consent status, and email delivery, opening, and link-click activity.
If you contact or interact with ManagerWordsCo on TikTok, we can see the profile information, messages, comments, and other information you make available to us there.
Our products are digital downloads. We do not need a delivery address to ship a physical product, although Etsy may make address information available as part of an order.
Please use fictional or anonymized examples when asking about a worksheet or template. Do not send employee records, medical details, confidential workplace information, or completed performance reviews. Buying a downloadable template does not give us access to the information you later enter into your own copy.
WHY WE USE INFORMATION
We use relevant information to fulfill purchases, help with downloads, answer questions, and handle order problems. This processing is necessary to perform our contract with you or take steps you request before a purchase. Without the necessary order or contact details, we may be unable to fulfill a purchase or provide support.
We keep records required by applicable tax and accounting laws to meet our legal obligations. We may also use relevant information to prevent fraud, investigate problems, and establish or defend legal claims, based on our legitimate interests where those interests do not outweigh your rights.
We use information you send in inquiries to respond to you. We use service and email statistics to understand delivery and improve relevant content, based on our legitimate interests where permitted; where applicable law requires consent for optional tracking, consent is required for that activity.
An Etsy purchase or TikTok follow does not subscribe you to a newsletter. We will not add your Etsy contact details to a marketing list or send promotional messages without your separate, affirmative consent. Our MailerLite signup uses an email-confirmation step. If you opt in, we use your information to send the resources and emails described at signup. You can withdraw consent at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before you withdrew consent.
WHEN INFORMATION IS SHARED
We exchange relevant information with Etsy to manage orders, support customers, and resolve cases. We may disclose information to professional advisers or public authorities when necessary to meet a legal obligation or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
MailerLite processes newsletter signup details, subscription preferences, and email activity on our behalf to manage subscribers and deliver emails. Its privacy information is available at https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy. Newsletter participation is separate from buying on Etsy.
Etsy and TikTok process information for their own platform operations under their respective privacy policies. Information you post publicly, such as a TikTok comment or an Etsy review, can be visible to others according to the platform's settings. This policy does not replace those platforms' notices or control their independent uses of information.
We do not sell your personal information or upload Etsy buyer details to social-media advertising audiences.
HOW LONG INFORMATION IS KEPT
We retain information under our control only while needed for the purpose for which it was collected. We determine retention by whether an order or support issue remains open, whether a record is required for tax or accounting purposes, and whether a relevant dispute or legal claim remains unresolved or within its applicable limitation period. When those needs end, we delete or anonymize copies under our control. Etsy separately determines how long it keeps records on its platform.
We keep active newsletter details while you remain subscribed and we continue the newsletter. If you unsubscribe, promotional emails stop. We may keep a limited suppression record to honor your opt-out and consent records for as long as needed to demonstrate compliance or resolve a relevant dispute.
SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING
We limit access to buyer information to those who need it for the purposes described in this policy and use reasonable safeguards appropriate to that information.
We operate in the United States and access information here. Service providers may process information in other countries with different privacy laws. MailerLite states that its data storage center is in the European Union, while its affiliates and subprocessors may process information elsewhere. Its Data Processing Addendum provides safeguards for applicable restricted transfers, including standard contractual clauses and a UK addendum where applicable: https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/data-processing-agreement. You may contact us for information about the safeguards relevant to your data.
Etsy describes its own international processing and transfer safeguards at https://www.etsy.com/legal/privacy/. TikTok's independent international processing is described in the privacy policy applicable to your region on TikTok.
YOUR RIGHTS AND CONTACT
Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have rights to access or obtain a copy of your information, correct it, request deletion, restrict processing, receive portable data, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. These rights may be subject to legal exceptions, including required recordkeeping. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.
To ask a privacy question or exercise your rights, contact Robert Keeley at ManagerWordsCo through Etsy Messages using the shop's Contact button. We may request enough information to verify your identity and locate the relevant records. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. For information controlled by Etsy, use Etsy's privacy settings or contact Etsy through https://www.etsy.com/help. For information independently controlled by TikTok, use its privacy controls or support options.
Etsy operates its own platform, payments, cookies, and advertising features under its own privacy notices. This shop policy describes our practices and does not replace Etsy's Privacy Policy. Any updates to our policy will appear here with a revised date.
