# Privacy Policy for PrintHiveGoods
Last updated: 7-21-25
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 you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy 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, postal address, payment information, and the details of the photography print or digital download that you're ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information if you contact me directly with questions or special requests.
## 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**: I use your information to fulfill your photography print orders, process digital downloads, settle disputes, or provide customer support
- **With your consent**: When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list
- **Legal compliance**: If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law
- **Legitimate interests**: As necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as:
- Providing and improving my photography services and print quality
- Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use
## Information Sharing and Disclosure
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
- **Etsy**: I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use
- **Service providers**: I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as printing companies and delivery services. I will share your personal 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
- **Legal compliance**: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith 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 personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in this Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 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 than your jurisdiction.
For transfers from the European Union, I rely on adequacy decisions by the European Commission or implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure your personal information receives an adequate level of protection.
## 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. I describe these rights below:
- **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. Absent 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
- **Portability**: You may have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another data controller
- **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
## How to Contact Me
For purposes of EU data protection law, I am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or my data practices, you may contact me through Etsy messages.
## Changes to This Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If I make material changes, I will notify you by updating the date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, provide additional notice through Etsy or other means.
