Privacy Policy
Last updated: 4-30-2025

At Breaking Tape Designs (my shop on Etsy), your privacy is very important. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you purchase from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

1. Information I Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide), such as:
-Your name
-Email address
-Postal address
-Payment information (Etsy handles this securely—sellers never see your full payment details)
-Order details and customization information (if applicable)
You may also choose to provide additional personal information if you contact me directly for a custom order.

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:
To fulfill your order, settle disputes, or provide customer service
-When you’ve provided your affirmative consent (e.g., to be added to a mailing list—if applicable)
-If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order
-As needed for the purpose of my legitimate interests (such as improving my services), provided those interests are not overridden by your rights or interests

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
I share your information only when necessary and for very limited reasons:
-Etsy: I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide my services and comply with Etsy’s seller policies and terms of use.
-Service Providers: I may engage trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services (like delivery companies). I share your personal information with these third parties only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
-Legal Compliance: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if required to respond to legal process or to protect my rights.

4. Data Retention
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in this Privacy Policy. I may also be required to retain this information to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

5. Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information:
-You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you.
-You can also request that your personal information be changed, restricted, or deleted.
To exercise these rights, contact me at [your email address].

6. Contact
For purposes of EU data protection law, I, [Your Name], am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at:
