Privacy policy

Who is responsible
Gentle Tribute is run by Schiras Ahmed, a sole trader in Nuremberg, Germany. The full address is listed under Seller details on this page. For any question about your data, write to gentletribute.contact@gmail.com or send me an Etsy message.

What I collect
- Your order details from Etsy: your name, Etsy username, the item you ordered and, if you share it, your email address.
- The answers you send me for your tribute: memories, stories, the tone you would like and details of the service.
- Our messages about your order and any revision.

Why I use it
Only to write, deliver and revise your tribute, and to keep the order records that German tax law requires. The legal bases are Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (our contract) and Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligations). I never sell your data, use it for advertising or publish your tribute.

How your tribute is written
Before any writing tool sees your answers, I replace names, places and dates with placeholders. The first draft is written with AI assistance from this anonymised text only. I then read, check and refine it myself and add the real names at the end.

Who else processes your data
- Etsy runs the marketplace and handles payment. Etsy is responsible for its own processing, see Etsy's Privacy Policy.
- Google (Gmail): if you contact me by email, our messages are stored in Gmail.
- Pazi, a shop management tool, can see order details. It works for me under a data processing agreement.
Some of these providers process data in the USA. They use safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

How long I keep it
I delete your answers, drafts and files from my email and computer no later than 6 months after delivery, or sooner if you ask. Order records are kept for as long as German tax law requires.

Your rights
You can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or a copy of your data, and you can object to processing. Just send me a message. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority. Mine is the Bavarian Data Protection Authority (Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht, Ansbach).

There is no automated decision-making or profiling.
