In connection with a business transaction such as a merger or bankruptcy filing, to comply with any applicable legal obligation (including in response to subpoenas, search warrants or similar requests), to enforce applicable terms of service or policies, as well as to protect or defend the Services, our rights and the rights of our users or third parties.
Relationship with Etsy.
The Services are hosted by Etsy, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services to you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Etsy, as well as third parties who may be located in countries other than where you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services to you. Additionally, to protect, grow and improve our business, we use certain enhanced features of Etsy that incorporate data and information from your interactions with our Store, as well as with other merchants and with Etsy. To provide these enhanced features, Etsy may use personal information collected from your interactions with our store, other merchants, and Etsy. In these circumstances, Etsy is responsible for processing your personal information, including in order to respond to your requests to exercise your rights regarding the use of your personal information for these purposes. To learn more about Etsy's use of your personal information and your rights, you can review Etsy's Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on where you live, you may exercise certain rights relating to your personal information.
Third-party websites and links
The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to sites that are not affiliated with or controlled by us, we recommend that you review their privacy and security policies as well as their other terms and conditions of use. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information found on them. Information you provide in public or semi-public areas—including information shared on third-party social media platforms—may also be visible to other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms, without restriction regarding their use by us or by third parties. Our inclusion of such links does not in itself imply any endorsement of the content of those platforms, or of their owners or operators, unless otherwise indicated on the Services.
Children’s data
The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information regarding children who have not reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us using the details below to request its deletion.

Security and retention of your information
Please note that no security measure is perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” Furthermore, any information you send to us may not be secure during transmission. We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to share sensitive or confidential information with us.
The length of time we retain your personal information depends on various factors, such as the need to retain such information to manage your account, provide the Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce any other applicable contract or policy.
