This Privacy Policy describes how and when we collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from our Etsy shop, contact us, or otherwise use our services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection and privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU customers and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents.

Information We Collect

To fulfill your order, you must provide us with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to us), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide us with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example) if you contact us directly.

Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It

We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

As needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;

If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim (for example, retaining purchase information for tax purposes);

As necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as:

Providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and to improve our offerings.

Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. We use your information as required to fulfill our obligations to Etsy and our customers.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Etsy: We share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you our services and comply with our obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.

Service Providers: We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our shop, such as delivery companies. We share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

Legal Compliance: We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to respond to legal process or government requests; enforce our agreements, terms and policies; prevent, investigate, and address fraud or other illegal activity; or protect the rights, property, and safety of our customers or others.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as described in this Privacy Policy. We may also be required to retain this information to comply with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We generally keep data for the following time period: 4 years.

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

We may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. When we do, we rely on lawful data transfer mechanisms such as contractual clauses or services certified under recognized frameworks.

Your Rights

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU or California, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. These include:

The right to access the personal information we hold about you

The right to correct, update, or delete your information

The right to object to or restrict our processing of your data

The right to data portability

The right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (EU customers)

The right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it (California residents)

The right to request deletion of your personal information, with certain exceptions (California residents)

The right to opt out of the sale of your personal information (note: we do not sell your information)

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through Etsy Messages or using the contact information below.
