Privacy Policy
As a seller on Etsy, I value the privacy of my customers and I am committed to protecting their personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and share information about my customers in connection with their use of my shop and the Etsy platform.

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 that 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.
I collect this information in order to process your order, ship your items, and communicate with you about your order. Additionally, I may use this information for legal reasons (such as tax purposes) or if necessary for my legitimate interests, such as improving my shop or preventing fraud.
I do not receive or store any sensitive financial information, such as credit card numbers. All payments are processed through third-party payment processors, such as PayPal or Etsy Payments, which use secure server software (SSL) to encrypt all credit card transactions.

Information Sharing and Disclosure
I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you with my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use. I may also share your information with certain third-party service providers that I use to help me operate my shop, such as shipping carriers or printing companies. However, I only share information with these third-party service providers as necessary to perform their services.
Additionally, I may disclose your information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or another lawful request for information I receive, or to otherwise protect my rights.

Data Retention
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements.

Your Rights
If you are a resident of certain territories, including the EU, you have certain rights related to your personal information. For example, you have the right to access the personal information I hold about you, to request that I correct or delete this information, and to object to or restrict the use of your information.
If you have any questions or concerns about your personal information, you may contact me using the contact information provided below.

GDPR Compliance
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain rights and protections under the GDPR regarding the processing of your personal information.

Legal Basis for Processing
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
- as necessary to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time;
- as necessary for compliance with legal obligations, such as tax laws;
- and I may also collect information about how you use our website, such as the pages you visit, the links you click on, and the actions you take.
This information is collected in order to improve our website and to better understand our customers' interests and needs.
I may use cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies to collect this information.

When you make a purchase from our Etsy shop, I collect information about you, including your name, email address, shipping address, and payment information. I use this information to process your order and to communicate with you about your order.
I may also use your information to send you marketing communications, such as email newsletters, about our products and services. You can opt-out of receiving these communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us directly.

I will never share or sell your personal information to third parties, except as necessary to fulfill your order (such as providing your shipping address to our shipping carrier) or as required by law.

I take reasonable measures to protect the security of your personal information. However, I cannot guarantee the security of your information, as no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights. You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information, as well as the right to restrict or object to our processing of your information.

I may update this privacy policy from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on our website.
If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy, please contact me directly.
