LovinglyMadePL

Excellent — thank you!
Below is a **customized, GDPR-compliant Privacy Policy** for your Etsy shop **LovinglyMadePL**, based on your details and adapted from Etsy’s official sample.
You can copy and paste it directly into your **Etsy shop policies** section when that field becomes available.

## **Privacy Policy for LovinglyMadePL**

**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 refer to the [Etsy Privacy Policy](https://www.etsy.com/legal/privacy) to learn more about its privacy practices.

---

### **1. 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
* details of the product you’re ordering.

You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom sticker order, for example) if you contact me directly.

---

### **2. Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It**

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

* as needed to provide my services, such as fulfilling your order, settling disputes, or providing customer support;
* when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by subscribing to my mailing list (if applicable);
* if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim (for example, retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law); and
* as necessary for my legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights or interests — such as providing and improving my services, and compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

---

### **3. 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 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 postal or courier delivery companies. I 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, but only to the extent permitted by law.
* **Compliance with laws:** 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.

---

### **4. 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**.

---

### **5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU**

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your own.
If I transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on appropriate legal bases, such as **standard contractual clauses** or the use of **GDPR-compliant third-party processors (like Etsy and its partners)** that ensure the protection of your data.

---

### **6. Your Rights**

If you reside in certain territories, including the European Union, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in limited cases. These rights include:

* **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 have the right to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Except in cases where I must store data for legal reasons, I will 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 you have provided your express consent to receive them.
* **Complain:** If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
