This Privacy Policy describes how and when The ECT Edit collects, uses, and shares information when you purchase an item from The ECT Edit, contact us, or otherwise use our services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

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

Information We Collect
To fulfil your order, you must provide us with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to share with us), such as:
Your name
Email address
Postal address
Payment information
Details of the product you’re ordering

You may also choose to provide additional personal information (e.g., for custom orders), if you contact us directly.

Why We Need Your Information and How I Use It
- To fulfill your order. We use your information to provide our services, such as processing payments, delivering digital downloads, and offering customer support.
- When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time.
- To comply with legal obligations. We may retain information about your purchase if required by tax law or other regulations.

Information Sharing and Disclosure
We respect your privacy. We will only share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, such as:
- Etsy. We share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you our services and comply with our obligations under both Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
- Legal compliance. We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to:
- Respond to legal process or government requests
- Enforce my agreements, terms, and policies
- Prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity
- Protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers

Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as described in this Privacy Policy. We may also be required to retain this information to comply with legal and tax obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
If we store or process your information through third-party services outside the EU, we will ensure those providers are GDPR-compliant and use appropriate safeguards to protect your data.

Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have rights regarding your personal information:
- Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict our use of, or delete your personal information (except where we are required to retain it for legal reasons).
- Object. You can object to our processing of some of your information based on our legitimate interests.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us.
