StatementInString

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 that you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.

1. INFORMATION I COLLECT
In order to fulfil your order, I require certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide me with), such as your name, email address, postal address and details of the product you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional information (for example, for a custom order), 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 for the following reasons:
- To provide my services, fulfil your order, provide customer support, settle disputes.
- Where necessary, to comply with a legal obligation or court order in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law.
- As necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services; and 2) compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information, as necessary, to comply with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

3. INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
I share your information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
- Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you with my services, and to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
- Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your 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 goof 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.
- Data retention. I retain your information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. I generally keep your data for up to seven years (as required by UK tax law).

4. YOUR RIGHTS
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases.
- 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. Apart from 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 after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
- Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

5. HOW TO CONTACT ME
For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Julie McDonnell, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may email me at: statementinstring@gmail.com
