# CapitalTurn Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how information is collected, used, and shared when you purchase from, contact, or otherwise interact with the CapitalTurn Etsy shop.
## Information Received
In connection with an Etsy transaction, CapitalTurn may receive information necessary to process and support your order, such as your name, email address, Etsy username, order information, transaction details, messages, and other information you voluntarily provide through Etsy.
Payment-card information is processed by Etsy and its payment providers. CapitalTurn does not request that buyers send full credit-card numbers, banking passwords, Social Security numbers, account passwords, or other unnecessary sensitive credentials.
## How Information Is Used
Buyer information may be used only as reasonably necessary to:
* fulfill and support an order;
* provide customer service or technical assistance;
* communicate about an order;
* troubleshoot download or compatibility issues;
* prevent or investigate fraud, abuse, unauthorized distribution, or misuse;
* maintain business, accounting, tax, and transaction records;
* establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;
* comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, or lawful governmental request; and
* comply with Etsy's policies, terms, dispute procedures, and seller obligations.
Buyer information will not be added to an independent marketing list solely because a purchase was made. Where consent is required for marketing communications, such communications will not be sent without the required consent.
## Information Sharing
Personal information may be shared only when reasonably necessary with Etsy and its service providers, professional advisers, technology or business-service providers acting on behalf of the shop, government or regulatory authorities when legally required, or other parties where necessary to prevent fraud, protect legal rights, resolve a dispute, or comply with applicable law.
CapitalTurn does not sell buyer personal information for monetary compensation.
## Data Retention
Buyer and transaction information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for order support, business administration, accounting, tax, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, and the establishment or defense of legal claims, after which information under CapitalTurn's control may be deleted or anonymized when appropriate.
Information maintained independently by Etsy remains subject to Etsy's own retention practices and privacy policies.
## Buyer Rights
Depending on applicable law and location, buyers may have rights relating to access, correction, restriction, objection, portability, or deletion of personal information.
Requests concerning information maintained by CapitalTurn may be submitted through Etsy Messages. Requests concerning information controlled directly by Etsy should be directed to Etsy.
Some information may need to be retained where required for legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or legitimate business-record purposes.
## Security and Buyer Responsibility
Reasonable measures are used to protect information under CapitalTurn's control. However, no electronic transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.
Buyers should not send passwords, full payment-card numbers, bank credentials, Social Security numbers, medical information, or other unnecessary highly sensitive information through Etsy Messages or support communications.
## Legal Bases Where Applicable
Where applicable data-protection law requires a legal basis for processing, information may be processed as necessary to perform or support a transaction, comply with legal obligations, pursue legitimate interests such as fraud prevention and dispute resolution, or on the basis of consent where consent is required.
## Changes
This policy may be updated as the business, products, legal requirements, or Etsy's services change. The policy applicable to an Etsy transaction is subject to the version presented through Etsy at the relevant time.
For privacy-related questions concerning the CapitalTurn Etsy shop, please contact the seller through Etsy Messages.
