Privacy Policy for Mahomet Store

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase a digital product from my Etsy shop, 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 own practices.

1. Information I Collect

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as:

Your name

Email address

Billing address (if required by Etsy for payment verification)

Payment information

The details of the product you’re purchasing

You may also choose to provide me with additional information (for example, if you contact me for help downloading your file or request a custom digital planner).

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:

To fulfil your order, provide customer support, and deliver your purchased digital files.

When you have provided your consent, which you may revoke at any time.

To comply with legal obligations, such as retaining purchase information for tax records.

For my legitimate interests, such as improving my products and ensuring compliance with Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

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 the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.

Service providers: I may use trusted third parties (such as secure cloud storage or file delivery platforms) to store order records or deliver purchased files. These third parties are given only the data necessary to perform their services.

Compliance with laws: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good-faith belief that it is necessary to:

Respond to legal or tax obligations;

Prevent fraud or misuse;

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 legal and tax obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
I generally keep your data for up to 4 years.

5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

I may store and process your information using third-party cloud storage or email services that operate outside the EU (for example, Google Workspace or other secure providers).
When this happens, I rely on contractual necessity and reputable providers that use secure, GDPR-compliant data protection frameworks such as the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework (formerly Privacy Shield).

6. Your Rights

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

Access: You may request a copy of the personal information I hold about you.

Change, restrict, or delete: You may request corrections or deletion of your data, except where I must retain it for legal reasons.

Object: You can object to my processing of your data (for example, for marketing) after giving consent.

Complain: EU residents may raise concerns with their local data protection authority.

7. 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 your data, you can contact me directly through Etsy Messages.

If you wish to access, correct, or delete personal information held by Etsy, please contact Etsy directly via Etsy.com/help
.

8. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my shop’s practices or legal obligations. The most current version will always be available on my Etsy shop page.

✅ Note:
This Privacy Policy follows Etsy’s recommended structure and aligns with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for digital product sellers. It applies specifically to Mahomet Store and its handling of personal data for digital downloads such as planners and templates.
