TheFemaleButcher

Welcome. I’m Rochelle, the maker behind La Bouchere, and I value your trust, your privacy, and your presence in my kitchen community. This policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal information when you purchase my digital recipe bundles, engage with my shop on Etsy, or message me for support.

1. Controller identity & contact

Controller: Rochelle Roster (Holder)
Trading as: La Bouchere – The Female Butcher
Contact email: rochelle@rochelleholder.com
If you are located in the EU/EEA and wish to speak to an EU representative or have questions about your data rights, please contact me at the above email.

2. What personal data I collect

When you place an order or message me through Etsy, I may receive:

Your name, username, email address, billing and (if applicable) shipping address.

Order content details (which digital items purchased).

Messages or communications you send for customer support.
I do not collect sensitive category data (e.g., health, racial origin, political opinions).

3. Purpose & lawful basis for processing

Purpose: To process and fulfil your order (deliver digital goods), respond to your messages, and maintain transaction records.
Lawful basis: Contract necessity (to deliver the product you purchased).

Purpose: To send you optional marketing emails (if you’ve given consent) about new recipe bundles, cooking updates, holiday specials.
Lawful basis: Your freely given consent. You may withdraw that consent at any time.

Purpose: To maintain records for bookkeeping and legal compliance.
Lawful basis: Legal obligation.

4. Recipients / third-party sharing

Your data is held via Etsy’s platform (and any connected services Etsy uses for payments/delivery). I do not share personal data with third-parties for marketing without your permission. If a third-party print-on-demand service is involved (only in case of a special physical print order), your mailing address may be shared only for fulfilment.

5. International transfers

Data is processed through Etsy’s global infrastructure. If your data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, appropriate safeguards are in place as provided by Etsy’s terms.

6. Retention period

Your purchase and communication records will be retained for as long as necessary for accounting, legal or tax purposes (typically up to 7 years or as required by law). Marketing data will be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

7. Your rights

If you are an individual in the EU/EEA, you have the following rights:

Right of access: you may request a copy of the personal data I hold about you.

Right of rectification: you may ask to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

Right of erasure (“right to be forgotten”): you may request deletion of your data (subject to legal obligations).

Right to restrict processing: you may ask to limit how your data is used.

Right to data portability: you may request your data in a structured, common machine-readable format.

Right to withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw at any time.

Right to object: you may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

8. Cookies & tracking

I rely on Etsy’s infrastructure. The only cookies/tracking you may encounter are those managed by Etsy’s platform. I do not use additional third-party analytics/tracking beyond Etsy’s standard services.

9. Automated decision-making

No automated decision-making or profiling is used for you in this shop beyond normal ecommerce operations handled by Etsy.

10. Changes to this policy

I may update this privacy policy from time to time (for example, when Etsy’s policies change or new products are introduced). The current version will always be posted in my shop policies. By continuing to use the shop after changes, you accept the updated policy.

11. Contact me

If you ever have questions about your data, your rights, or the policy, please direct message me via Etsy or email me at the contact above. I’m here to support you.

Thank you for being a part of this warm, high-vibrational kitchen community. Together we cook, connect, and create meals from the heart
