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. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.
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’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with
additional personal information (for a custom order of t-
shirts, for example), 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:
~As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your
information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to
provide customer support;
~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;
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.
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.
~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.
Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
~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 rely on
Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google
Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
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.
