🔐 Privacy Policy (GDPR compliant)

This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and share information when you purchase from my Etsy shop, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

This policy is compliant with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Personal 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
• your email address
• your postal address
• payment information (processed securely by Etsy)
• the details of the product you’re ordering
• and any customization details you provide (e.g., a name to be printed)

You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information if you contact me directly.

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

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• to fulfill your order, provide customer support, or settle disputes
• if necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (e.g., keeping records for tax purposes)
• when you have given your consent (e.g., by signing up for a mailing list, if available)
• for the purposes of my legitimate interests, provided they do not override your rights or interests (e.g., to improve my services)

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

I only share your information in limited circumstances, such as:
• Etsy: I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
• Service providers: I may engage trusted third parties (like delivery companies or print-on-demand partners) to perform functions and services for my shop.
• Legal compliance: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I believe it is reasonably necessary to:
• respond to legal process or government requests
• enforce my agreements, terms, and policies
• prevent fraud or other illegal activity
• protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers

⸻

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 policy. 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 through third-party hosting services (like Etsy or print partners) in the US or other jurisdictions. If I transfer your information outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield-certified services or other lawful bases.

6. Your Rights

If you reside in the EU, you have rights regarding your personal information, including:
• Access: You may request a copy of the information I hold about you.
• Change, restrict, delete: You may request that I change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information (except when I’m required to keep certain data for legal reasons).
• Complain: If you have a concern about my use of your data, you have the right to raise it with your local data protection authority.
