This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use and share information when you purchase a product from me, contact me or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or related sites and services.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to actions of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third-party services that you access through Etsy. You can refer to the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy policies.
1. Personal information I collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to give me), such as your name, email address, mailing address, payment information and information about the product you are ordering. You can also provide me with additional personal information (for example, for individual jewelry order) if you contact me directly.
2. Why I need your information and how I use it
I rely on a number of legal grounds for collecting, using and sharing your information, including:
- as necessary to provide my services, for example, when I use your information to fulfill your order, to resolve disputes or to support clients;
- when you gave your affirmative consent, which you can withdraw at any time, for example, by subscribing to my newsletter;
- if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation or a court order or in connection with a lawsuit, for example, retain information about your purchases, if required by tax legislation; and
- as necessary for the purposes of my legitimate interests, if these legitimate interests are not canceled by your rights or interests, such as 1) the provision and improvement of my services. I use your information to provide the services you have requested and to improve my services in my legitimate interests; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Policies and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to fulfill my obligations in accordance with the Etsy Seller's Terms and Conditions of Use.
3. Information about my clients is important for my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and under certain circumstances, namely:
- Etsy. I share information with Etsy as needed to provide you with my services and fulfill my obligations in accordance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
- Service providers. I use certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my store, for example, delivery companies. I will transfer your personal information to these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to provide these services.
- Business translations. If I sell or merge my business, I can disclose your information in this transaction only to the extent permitted by law.
- Compliance with the laws. I can collect, use, store and transfer your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonable to: (a) respond to a lawsuit or government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate and solve problems of fraud and other illegal activities, security or technical problems; or (d) protect the rights, property, and security of my clients or others.
4. Data Storage
I only keep your personal information as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also need to retain this information in order to fulfill my legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes and enforce my agreements. I usually keep your data for the next period of time: 3 months.
5. Transfer of personal information outside the EU
I can store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the United States and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information in accordance with data protection legislation and government supervision different from your jurisdiction. If you use confidential information, then Google Cloud Certified Certified Privacy Shield.
6. Your rights
- If you live in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights regarding your personal information. While some of these rights apply in general, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I will describe these rights below:
- Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of personal information about you, which I store by contacting me using the contact information provided below.
- Modify, limit, delete. You may also have the right to change, limit the use or deletion of your personal information.
