This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item 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 privacy practices.

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, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product you are ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for example, for a custom order) if you contact me directly.

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. I use your information as needed to provide my services, such as fulfilling your order, settling disputes, or providing customer support. I use it when you have provided your consent, such as for joining a mailing list. I may use or retain your information if required to comply with a legal obligation or court order. I may also use your information as necessary for my legitimate interests, such as providing and improving my services, or to comply with Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Information Sharing and Disclosure: Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information only in limited ways. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide my services and comply with my obligations under Etsy’s policies. I may share information with trusted service providers, such as delivery companies, but only to the extent necessary. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, to the extent permitted by law. I may also collect, use, retain, or share your information if I believe in good faith that it is necessary to respond to legal process or government requests, enforce my terms and policies, prevent or investigate fraud or other illegal activity, or protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers or others.

Data Retention: I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce agreements. I generally keep your data for four years.

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU: I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your own. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis, since providers I may use, such as Google Cloud, are Privacy Shield certified.

Your Rights: If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have rights in relation to your personal information. These rights may include the ability to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you, to request changes, to restrict my use of your information, or to have it deleted. In certain circumstances, you may object to my processing of your information or withdraw consent you previously gave, such as for receiving marketing messages. If you live in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information, you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

How to Contact Me: For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Julie [Last Name or Business Name], am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at julie@pastforwardhistory.com
