At Unique Home Finds, I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information I receive, why I use it, when it may be shared, and the choices you have regarding your information when you purchase from or communicate with my Etsy shop.
1. Personal Information I Collect
To fulfill your order, Etsy may provide me with certain information that you authorize Etsy to share, such as your name, email address, shipping address, order details, personalization information, and any information you provide through Etsy Messages.
Payment transactions are processed through Etsy. I do not independently collect or store your complete credit card or banking information.
2. Why I Need Your Information
I collect, use, and retain your personal information only when reasonably necessary to:
Process, create, personalize, and fulfill your order.
Ship products to you and provide tracking or delivery information.
Communicate with you regarding your order, questions, replacements, returns, or customer service.
Provide the products and services requested through my Etsy shop.
Maintain business, accounting, tax, and transaction records when required.
Comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, or legal requests.
Protect my shop, customers, and business from fraud, misuse, or other unlawful activity.
Improve customer service and resolve disputes.
Where applicable, I rely on contractual necessity, legal obligations, legitimate business interests, or your consent as the basis for processing your personal information.
3. Marketing Communications
Purchasing from Unique Home Finds does not automatically enroll you in an email newsletter or marketing list.
I will not use an email address or other personal information received through an Etsy transaction for independent marketing purposes unless you have specifically provided permission or otherwise opted in to receive those communications.
4. How Your Information May Be Shared
I do not sell customer personal information.
I may share limited personal information when necessary to operate my business and fulfill your order, including with:
Etsy: Information may be shared with Etsy as necessary to provide services through the Etsy marketplace and comply with Etsy's Terms of Use and policies.
Production and fulfillment partners: Certain products are made, printed, packaged, or fulfilled with the assistance of production partners. Information such as your name, shipping address, and necessary order details may be provided to them solely to produce and deliver your order.
Shipping and delivery providers: Your name, shipping address, and other necessary delivery information may be shared with postal services and shipping carriers for fulfillment and delivery.
Service providers: I may use trusted third-party services when reasonably necessary to operate my business, maintain records, communicate with customers, or provide requested services.
Legal compliance: I may disclose information when I reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, respond to lawful government requests, prevent fraud, protect my rights, or defend a legal claim.
Only information reasonably necessary for the particular purpose is shared.
5. Data Retention
I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill orders, provide customer service, maintain required business and financial records, resolve disputes, and comply with applicable legal, accounting, or tax obligations.
When information is no longer reasonably needed for those purposes, I will delete or securely dispose of it where appropriate.
6. Transfers of Personal Information
Unique Home Finds is operated in the United States. If you live outside the United States, your information may be processed or stored in the United States or by service providers located in other countries.
Where applicable, personal information will be handled in accordance with relevant privacy and data-protection requirements.
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
Ask what personal information I hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate information.
Request deletion of certain personal information.
Object to or restrict certain uses of your information.
Withdraw consent when processing is based on consent.
Request a copy of certain personal information.
Some information may need to be retained when required for legal, tax, accounting, security, fraud-prevention, or dispute-resolution purposes.
For information controlled directly by Etsy, including Etsy account information, payment information, marketplace preferences, or other data maintained by Etsy, you may need to contact Etsy directly or use the privacy tools available through your Etsy account.
8. Security
I take reasonable precautions to protect personal information in my possession and limit access to information to legitimate business purposes. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Children's Privacy
My shop and products are not intended to collect personal information directly from children. Orders should be placed by adults or by individuals legally permitted to make purchases through Etsy.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in my business practices, Etsy requirements, or applicable laws. The current version and most recent update date will appear in my Etsy shop policies.
