Information Sharing and Disclosure
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Selling Platforms. I share information with the selling platform upon which you have purchased to comply with any obligations, their policies and terms of use.
• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
• Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
• Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) 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 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. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 7 years.
Any data that is disposed of is done so using a cross cut shredder.
How I Store Your Data
I do not print your order details, so no physical print out of your name and address is kept.
Proof of postage and tracking receipts are kept as these aid me should any problems arise with missing orders and for tax purposes.
I hold these in a lockable storage cabinet within my secured office. Digital data is stored on my password protected PC, within my secured office and via the platforms in which you purchase. These platforms are password protected. I can also access your data via an app on my phone, which is fingerprint and password protected. I have the full ability to wipe data on phone in the event of loss. Passwords for all devices and platforms are routinely changed.
Photographic Data
As a business focusing on personalised items, I absolutely love to see your items in situ, if you share these photos on social media platforms, I will always obtain written permission before I share them myself.
From time to time I will use photographs of the completed items I have made for my customers, for advertising and promotional purposes as my business; Pretty Little Personalised owns the rights to the designs. Where possible I will sanitise the information, removing some of the personal data for security purposes if I deem it would be a breach of my customer’s rights.
Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
• Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
• Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
• Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
• Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
