Privacy Policy for MaitreyaFields on Etsy

This document explains how we collect, use, and share personal data when you purchase an item from MaitreyaFields, contact us, or otherwise use our services via Etsy.com or its related sites and services. We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws. By accessing or using our shop, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

We collect personal data such as your name, email address, shipping address, payment information, and details of the product(s) you are ordering. We obtain this information through Etsy’s platform, where we have limited control over the data storage and deletion processes. We also receive any messages you send via Etsy Conversations.

We rely on several legal bases to process your data, including the necessity to fulfill orders and to comply with legal obligations (for example, maintaining tax records). We share information with Etsy as necessary to provide our services. Etsy is responsible for most data retention and removal functions on its platform, so if you need more information about how Etsy handles your data or how to exercise rights such as erasure of certain data, please consult Etsy’s own Privacy Policy or contact Etsy directly.

We may also share information with third-party service providers who help us fulfill orders (for example, delivery companies). We only share the minimum information needed for these services. We might disclose personal data if required by law, such as in response to lawful requests by public authorities or to comply with legal obligations.

We keep records of transactions for up to five years or any longer period necessary under local tax or other legal requirements. We can only anonymize or delete the information we hold (for example, invoice details) to the extent permitted by law and by Etsy’s platform. We do not have the ability to remove personal data stored on Etsy servers. If you would like your personal data removed from Etsy’s systems, please contact Etsy directly. However, you may also contact us if you have questions about what information we hold. Our contact details can be found on our Etsy shop page.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have specific rights under the GDPR, including the right to request access to and rectification or erasure of your personal data, the right to restrict or object to processing, and the right to data portability. Please note that many of these rights must be exercised through Etsy’s own mechanisms because we, as a seller on Etsy, do not fully control your data on Etsy’s platform.

We may store and process your information in jurisdictions outside the EEA, relying on legal mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses. By using our services, you consent to these transfers where required by law.

We reserve the right to update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or for other legal or operational reasons. Please review it periodically. If you have any questions about this policy or how we use your data, please get in touch with us through our Etsy shop at [https://www.etsy.com/shop/MaitreyaFields].
