LiftingAndStitching Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28 January 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I, Joshua of LiftingAndStitching (“I”, “me”, “my”), collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from my Etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/liftingandstitching), contact me through Etsy, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com and its related sites and services.

By purchasing an item from LiftingAndStitching or contacting me through Etsy, you acknowledge that your information will be processed as described in this 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 review Etsy’s Privacy Policy to learn more about Etsy’s privacy practices.

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.

Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, Etsy provides me with certain information such as your name, email address, and details of the product you’ve purchased. Because this shop sells digital downloads, I do not directly use or store your physical shipping address. Payment information is collected and processed securely by Etsy; I do not receive or store your full payment details.

You may also choose to provide additional personal information if you contact me directly through Etsy’s messaging system.

⸻

Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

I collect, use, and share your information only as necessary to:

• Provide my services and fulfill your order, including delivering digital files and responding to customer service inquiries.
• Comply with legal and tax obligations.
• Maintain the security and integrity of my shop and prevent fraud.
• Communicate with you through Etsy regarding your order or support requests.

I do not collect or use your personal information for marketing or mailing lists outside of Etsy unless you explicitly provide consent.

⸻

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Protecting customer personal information is important to me. I share your personal information only in the following limited circumstances:

• With Etsy: I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide my services and comply with Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

• With Third-Party Service Providers: I rely on Etsy’s integrated service providers for payment processing, digital file delivery, and customer communications. Personal information is shared with these providers only as necessary to perform these services.

• In the Event of a Business Transfer: If I sell or merge my business, personal information may be disclosed as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.

• Legal Compliance: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good-faith belief that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to legal process, or protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers or others.

⸻

Data Retention

I retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide my services and to comply with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations. I generally keep order-related information for up to five (5) years for record-keeping purposes. Much of your data is stored by Etsy in accordance with their own retention policies.

⸻

Transfers of Personal Information Outside Your Jurisdiction

Etsy may store and process personal information through service providers located in various countries, including the United States. As a seller, I rely on Etsy to manage and safeguard international data transfers in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

⸻

• The right to access and receive a copy of your personal information.
• The right to request correction, restriction, or deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements.
• The right to object to certain types of processing.
