# Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Discounted3D (“I”, “me”, “my”) collects, uses, and shares information when you purchase from or contact my Etsy shop.

## Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, you may provide certain information to Etsy and me, including:

* Any custom information you provide in messages or personalization requests

I only receive information necessary to complete your order, provide customer support, and comply with legal obligations.

## Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

I rely on several legal bases to collect and use your information, including:

* To provide services and fulfill orders under Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use
* When necessary to comply with legal obligations, such as tax or recordkeeping laws
* For legitimate business interests, including improving customer service and maintaining shop performance, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights

* Legal or regulatory authorities if required by law

I do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Typically, order-related information is retained for up to 7 years to satisfy tax, accounting, and legal requirements.

## Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

If I transfer your information outside the European Union, I rely on appropriate safeguards such as:

* Etsy’s GDPR-compliant systems
* Trusted third-party service providers with appropriate data protection measures
* Standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards where applicable

* Data portability where applicable

Please note that I may need to retain certain information for legal or business purposes.

## Contact Information

For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Discounted3D, am the data controller of your personal information.

If you have questions or concerns, or would like to make a privacy-related request, you may contact me through Etsy Messages.
