LighthouseLaserCo

This Privacy Policy describes how I, Lighthouse Laser (“I,” “me,” or “my”), collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from my Etsy shop, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

This policy does not apply to the practices of Etsy or any third parties you access through Etsy. Please review Etsy’s Privacy Policy to understand how they collect and use your information.

1. Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, Etsy provides me with the following information:

Your name

Email address (when applicable)

Shipping address

Order details (items purchased, personalization info, uploaded logo files, etc.)

I only receive the information Etsy provides. I do not have access to your full payment information (credit card number, etc.). Payments are processed securely by Etsy, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or your chosen payment provider.

I do not collect information from minors under 18, and by purchasing you confirm you are 18 or older.

2. How I Use Your Information

I use your information only as necessary to:

Fulfill your order

Provide customer support

Contact you about your order (if required)

Comply with Etsy’s seller policies and local laws

Create custom designs when you send logo files or branding content

I do not use your information for unrelated marketing unless you explicitly opt in.

3. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR/UK GDPR)

If you live in the EU, UK, or other regions with data-protection laws, I process your information under these legal bases:

Contract: I need your information to fulfill your order.

Legal obligation: I may need to retain information for tax or business-record purposes.

Legitimate interest: To provide and improve my customer service.

Consent: If you give explicit permission (e.g., sending a logo for custom engraving).

You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting me.

4. Sharing Your Information

I only share your information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, including:

Etsy: As necessary to provide my services and comply with Etsy’s Seller Policy.

Shipping providers: USPS, UPS, FedEx, or other carriers to deliver your order.

Service providers: Printing or engraving partners only when needed to fulfill your custom order and only with the necessary design files.

Legal compliance: If required by tax law, court order, or government request.

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

5. Data Retention

I retain your information only for as long as necessary to:

Complete your order

Provide customer support

Comply with legal obligations (such as tax laws requiring record-keeping)

I generally keep order information for 7 years for tax documentation.

Design files you upload (logos, branding) are stored only as long as needed to complete your order unless you request deletion.

6. Transfers of Personal Data Outside the EU/UK

If you reside in the EU or UK, please note that your information is stored and processed in the United States. Etsy manages these transfers under their own compliance measures. I rely on Etsy’s secure platform and infrastructure for data handling.

7. Your Rights (GDPR/UK)

If you are located in the EU or UK, you have the right to:

Access the personal data I hold about you

Correct or delete your personal data

Restrict my use of your data

Object to processing

Request data portability

To exercise these rights, you may contact me directly. You may also contact Etsy, since much of your information is controlled by Etsy.

8. How to Contact Me

For questions or concerns about your privacy, you may contact me at:

Email: hello@lighthouselaserco.com

Shop: Lighthouse Laser on Etsy

If you need to make a GDPR or privacy-related request and prefer not to use Etsy messages, email is the best option.

9. If You Live in California (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you may request:

What personal information I have about you

Deletion of your personal information (unless needed to complete your order or required by law)
