You may also choose to provide additional personal information if you contact us directly.

Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It

We rely on several legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

as needed to provide our services, such as fulfilling your order, settling disputes, or providing customer support;
if you have provided your consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for our mailing list;
if necessary to comply with legal obligations or court orders or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases as required by tax law;
and as necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving our services and Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

There are times when we share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Etsy: We share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you our services and comply with our obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service providers: We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our shop, such as delivery companies. We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

We generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

Transferring Personal Information Outside the EU

We may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions.

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. You have the right to access, change, restrict the use of, and delete your personal information. You can also object to the processing of your information based on our legitimate interests.
