We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

We share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, such as:

Etsy: We share information with Etsy as necessary to provide our services and comply with Etsy’s policies and terms.

Service providers: We may engage certain trusted third parties (such as delivery companies or print partners) to perform functions and provide services. We share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

Generally, we keep order-related data for up to 7 years for tax and record-keeping purposes, or as otherwise required by law.

Your information may be stored and processed through third-party services (such as Etsy, shipping carriers, or print partners) that operate in other countries.
