Welcome! I value the trust you place in me when you choose to download something from my shop. That’s why I take your privacy seriously and want to be transparent about how your information is handled. Below you’ll find all the details about what data I receive, how it’s used, and how you can reach out if you ever have questions.

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.

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. Please also review Etsy's Privacy Policy to understand how they handle your data, as I am unable to control their practices.

1. Information I Collect
To fulfil 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 details, and details of the product you’re ordering. Even for digital downloads, Etsy shares the buyer’s postal address with me — this is necessary for tax compliance and transaction records.
You may also choose to share additional personal information when you contact me directly.

2. Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on several legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
- To provide my services — for example, to fulfil your order, settle disputes, or offer customer support.
- When you have given your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by contacting met via Etsy Messages.
- To comply with legal obligations, such as tax reporting.
- When it’s necessary for my legitimate interests — like improving my services — as long as those interests don’t override your rights.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
I only share your personal information for a few specific reasons:
- With Etsy, as needed to provide my services and comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
- To comply with laws, such as responding to legal or tax requirements, or to protect my business and customers.
At this time, I do not use external service providers for storing or processing your personal information.
- All payments are processed through Etsy’s payment systems, and I do not have access to your payment details. For more information on how Etsy processes your payment information, please refer to Etsy’s Privacy Policy.

4. Data Retention
I retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide my services and for legal or tax purposes. In Sweden, this means keeping certain records for 7 years.

5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
I may store and process your information through Etsy’s systems, which may be located outside the EU. Etsy complies with relevant data protection laws regarding international data transfers. I do not store your personal data externally outside of Etsy.

6. Your Rights
If you’re based in the EU or similar jurisdictions, you have rights over your personal information:
- Access. Request a copy of the information I hold about you.
- Change or delete. Ask me to change or delete your personal information, unless I need to retain it for legal reasons.
- Object. Object to how I process your data based on legitimate interests.
- Complain. Raise a concern with your local data protection authority.

7. Contact Information
Have questions, worries, or just need to get in touch? Feel free to contact me at any time via Etsy Messages — I’m always happy to help.
