Prospectors Cache respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how and when Prospectors Cache (“I”, “me”, “my”) collects, uses, and shares information when you purchase an item from my Etsy shop, contact me, or otherwise use Etsy’s services through my shop.
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.

To fulfill your order, you must provide certain information to Etsy (which I receive), such as:
Your name
Email address
Postal address
Payment information
Details of the product you’re ordering
You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for example, for custom orders), 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, including:
To fulfill your order, process payments, arrange shipping, and provide customer support
When you have given your consent, such as contacting you about your order

Legal compliance: If required by law, court order, or legal process
I do not sell or share your personal information for marketing or advertising purposes.
