This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

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.

1. Personal 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, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.

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:

As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;

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

If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and

As necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving my services.

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.

Production Partners: I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, specifically Gelato (our printing and fulfillment partner). I will share your name, shipping address, and order details with Gelato, but only to the extent necessary to produce and ship your order.

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 respond to legal processes, enforce my agreements, or address fraud and other illegal activity.

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 (typically up to 7 years for tax purposes).

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.

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 contact information below.

Change, restrict, delete: You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information.

Object: You can object to my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests.

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 EU data protection law, I, Garrett Drach, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me via Etsy Messages.
