This Privacy Policy describes how OWLJDM LLC (“OWLJDM,” “I,” “me,” or “my”) collects, uses, shares, and retains personal information when you purchase an item from OWLJDM, contact me, or otherwise interact with my shop through Etsy.com or Etsy’s related services.
This policy applies only to information that I receive or process as an independent Etsy seller. It does not apply to the privacy practices of Etsy or other third parties that I do not own or control. Etsy’s collection and processing of information is governed by Etsy’s own Privacy Policy.

Bookkeeping and accounting
Business record storage
Email or customer communications
Fraud prevention
Information security
These service providers receive personal information only to the extent reasonably necessary to perform services for OWLJDM.
Legal and Safety Requirements
I may collect, use, retain, or disclose personal information if I reasonably believe it is necessary to:
Comply with a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or government request
Respond to legal claims
Enforce an agreement
Prevent, investigate, or address fraud or unlawful activity

Complete and document transactions
Provide customer support
Resolve disputes
Enforce agreements
Maintain accounting and tax records
Meet legal and regulatory obligations
Order and transaction records are generally retained for up to seven years, unless a longer or shorter period is required or permitted by law.
Information that is no longer reasonably necessary will be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of where practical.
Information Security
I take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect customer information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, misuse, or disclosure.
However, no online service, electronic transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For your protection, please do not send credit-card numbers, bank-account information, Social Security numbers, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through Etsy Messages.
International Customers
OWLJDM is based in the United States.
When you purchase through Etsy, your information may be processed in the United States and in other countries where Etsy and its service providers operate. These countries may have privacy and data-protection laws that differ from those in your country.
Etsy’s handling of personal information and international data transfers is governed by Etsy’s own Privacy Policy.
OWLJDM does not claim participation in the Privacy Shield program or the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
Request access to personal information I hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of certain information
Request restriction of certain processing
Object to certain uses of your information
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Request a portable copy of certain information
File a complaint with an appropriate privacy or data-protection authority
These rights may be limited where information must be retained for legal, tax, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or contractual purposes.
Because Etsy controls much of the information associated with your Etsy account, purchases, and payment activity, certain privacy requests may need to be submitted directly to Etsy.
I will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
Children’s Privacy
OWLJDM’s services are not directed toward children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
Orders placed through Etsy must comply with Etsy’s account and eligibility requirements.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in my business practices, Etsy’s services, or applicable laws.
When changes are made, the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy will be revised.
