My 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. Protecting your privacy is very important to me.
My 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.
1. Personal information I collect:
In order 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, telephone number and the details of the product you are ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order of jewelry, for example), if you contact me directly.
In order to ship your order I will need to provide the same above mentioned information to third parties who will handle the shipping of the order.
2. 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 relevant information as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to ship your order, to settle disputes, or to provide you with customer support; you provide your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, when you sign up for my mailing list or when you place an order for Retro1990s through Etsy, or if you message me in my shop; I use your information when necessary to comply with any legal obligations, any court order or in connection with any legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and 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.
3. The third parties with whom I share personal information:
Information about my customers is important to my business. I will only share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows: a. 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. b. 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. c. Business transfers. If I ever sell or merge my business, I may have to disclose your information as part of that transaction, but only to the extent permitted by law. I do my utmost best to be in compliance with laws, therefore, 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 or other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.
4. 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 will generally keep your data for a minimum of 7 years.
5. If I transfer your personal information outside of Europe 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 jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I will rely on Google Cloud Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
6. Your rights regarding my use of your personal information and my contact details: 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 as follows: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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.
