This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, 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. I try to stay away from things I do not own which are still in my locus of control. As it goes I intend on giving transparent answers to anyone that wishes to find out more about my business practices regarding keeping your data safe and away from prying eyes.
When changes regarding my Privacy Policy do happen I will also inform you via email (If Applicable) and create a brief timestamp of what was changed when at the very bottom of my Privacy Policy so you can check it out yourself. For those that need a third party confirmation be sure to check out Archive.org as I will not be requesting any removals so any of you can laugh and call me out on any of my mistakes when they inevitably do happen.
So, on with the Privacy Policy...
Personal Information I collect:
First of all, I have to mention that I treat all Information with the same discretion as the highest level of Personal Information because I believe that all data that you enable to a person that you've never met before should be handled with care.
To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (that you've authorised 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 (OPTIONAL) - e.g. for a custom written note inside the package or a requested custom order (If you contact me directly through my email (PrintingPaperClips@gmail.com) or through MAIL (LOOK AT HOW TO CONTACT ME AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY STATEMENT).
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, including:
- As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
- When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list (WHICH CAN BE REVOKED AT ANY TIME AND CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF EVERY NEWSLETTER EMAIL I SEND YOU);
- If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law;
- As necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Third Parties With Whom I Share Personal Information:
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.
- DELIVERY SERVICE PROVIDERS. I engage with certain trusted third parties, like EVRI, to deliver products on my behalf. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to get your parcel delivered to you and to know that it was delivered.
- 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 me customers, or others.
The Length Of Time I Keep Personal Information:
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 keep your data for the following time period: 5 YEARS, UNLESS UNDER STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS THAT MAY PREVENT ME FROM DELETING SUCH DATA.
If Transferring Personal Information Outside Of Europe, How The Transfer Will Be Handled:
I don't plan on storing or processing your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. The information I acquire will be stored locally in the UK.
Should any changes happen I will include an edit at the bottom of the Privacy Policy Statement stating what was changed and when. I will also notify any customers which this may concern before any changes happen through an email sent in advance.
My Buyers' Rights Regarding My Use Of Their Personal Information and Their Contact Details:
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 DELETE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION UPON REQUEST UNLESS I'M WITH DIRECT COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS THAT PREVENT ME FROM DOING SO.
- 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.
