This Privacy Policy describes how and when Cute & Creepy Crochet (“I,” “me,” “my”) collects, uses, and shares information when you purchase an item from CuteCreepyPatterns (https://www.etsy.com/shop/CuteCreepyPatterns), contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

You agree that by purchasing an item from CuteCreepyPatterns or otherwise interacting with Cute & Creepy Crochet, you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must leave this shop immediately.

I may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If I make changes, I will update the date above.

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 or through CuteCreepyPatterns. Please review Etsy’s Privacy Policy to learn more about their practices.

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, payment information, and details of the product you are ordering. You may also provide me with additional information if you contact me directly.

Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I collect, use, and share your information in several legally permissible ways, including:

- To provide my services (such as fulfilling orders, resolving disputes, and providing customer support).
- When you give consent, such as joining a mailing list.
- If necessary to comply with legal obligations (for example, keeping records for tax purposes).
- For my own legitimate interests, as long as your rights are not overridden (for example, improving my services and complying with Etsy’s Seller Policy).

Information Sharing and Disclosure
I share your personal information only in limited situations, including:

- With Etsy, as necessary to provide my services and comply with Etsy policies.
- With trusted service providers, but only to the extent necessary to perform services (such as bookkeeping).
- If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose information as part of that transaction, only as permitted by law.
- To comply with laws or legal requests, or to protect the safety, rights, and property of my customers.

Data Retention
I retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide you with services, comply with legal and tax obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. I generally keep data for five (5) years.

International Data Transfers
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.

If you live in certain territories, including the EU, you have the following rights related to your personal information:
