PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: July 15th, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from my shop, 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 learn more about Etsy’s privacy practices in the Etsy Privacy Policy.

1. 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 (if required)
Payment information (processed securely through Etsy or its partners)
Details of the product you’re ordering
You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.

2. Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on several 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, provide customer support, or settle disputes.
When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list.
If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order.
To comply with Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use.



3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances:
Etsy: I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both Etsy’s Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Service Providers: I may engage trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery (not applicable for digital files) or email services.
Compliance with laws: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I believe that it is reasonably necessary to:
Respond to legal process or government requests.
Enforce my agreements, terms, and policies.
Prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity.
Protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers or others.

4. 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. Typically, this means retaining it for:
Up to 4 years to comply with my legal and tax obligations.
I may also retain it to resolve disputes and enforce agreements.

5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
If you are a customer located in the EU, please note that your information will be transferred outside of the EU (e.g., to the United States), where Etsy and other service providers may store and process your data.

6. Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information:
Access: You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you.
Change, restrict, delete: You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information.
Object: You can object to my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests.

To exercise any of these rights, contact me at the email below.

7. How to Contact Me
For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Leah and Damian Costa, are the data controllers of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at:
