Privacy Policy (Including GDPR Compliance)

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


Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, I will receive certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide), such as:
• Your name
• Email address
• Postal address
• Payment information (I do not see your full payment details)
• The details of the product you’re ordering


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:
• To provide my services (e.g., process orders, settle disputes, provide customer
support)
• When you’ve given your express consent (which you may revoke at any time)
• To comply with a legal obligation (e.g., tax law)
• As necessary for the performance of my contract with you (i.e., order fulfillment)


Information Sharing and Disclosure

I will only share your personal information in the following limited circumstances:
• Etsy: I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide my services and comply with their Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
• Service providers: I engage trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services, such as delivery companies and print-on-demand partners (e.g., Printify, Printful, Gooten). These third parties will only receive information necessary to perform their duties.
• Compliance with laws: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I believe in good faith that it is reasonably necessary to respond to legal process or government requests, enforce my agreements, prevent fraud, or protect my rights.


Data Retention

I retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in this Privacy Policy. I may be required to retain this information to comply with my legal obligations (e.g., taxes), resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. I generally keep your data for up to 6 years.


Transfers of Personal Data Outside the EU (for GDPR)

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information outside the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield-certified partners or other lawful transfer mechanisms.


Your Rights (GDPR)

If you reside in the EU, you have the right to:
• Access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you
• Request corrections or deletions
• Object to my processing of some of your data
• Restrict or withdraw consent

You may contact Etsy directly to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or contact me at any time at beth@visualstudio888.com.


How to Contact Me

For purposes of data protection law, I, Elisabeth Young, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at beth@visualstudio888.com
