GardenPathPrints

This Privacy Policy describes how and when Garden Path Prints (“I”, “me”, “my”) collects, uses, and shares information when you purchase an item from my shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/GardenPathPrints), contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

By purchasing an item from Garden Path Prints or otherwise interacting with the shop, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third-party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about their specific practices.

1. Information I Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as:

Your name and email address.

Postal address for shipping.

Payment information.

Details of the product that you’re ordering.

Any additional personal information you provide if you contact me directly (for example, for a custom print order).

2. Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

Service Delivery: As needed to provide my services, such as fulfilling your order, settling disputes, or providing customer support.

Consent: When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list.

Legal Obligation: If necessary to comply with a court order or legal obligation, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law.

Legitimate Interests: As necessary for my own legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights, such as (a) providing and improving my services and (b) compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Etsy: I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.

Service Providers: I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies (e.g., Royal Mail, USPS). I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

Business Transfers: If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction only to the extent permitted by law.

Compliance with Laws: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my 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 my customers or others.

4. Data Retention
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 5 years.

5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU/EEA, I rely on Etsy’s use of Standard Contractual Clauses as the legal basis for the transfer.

6. Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information.

Access: You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the information below.

Change, Restrict, Delete: You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons), I will generally delete your personal information upon request.

Object: You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information.

Complain: If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information, you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

How to Contact Me
For purposes of data protection law, I, [Anthony O], am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at:
