VerilyStudio

This Privacy Policy explains how and when Verily Studio (“I”, “me”, “my”) collects, uses and shares information when you purchase an item from Verily Studio, contact me, or otherwise interact with my shop through Etsy.com or its related services.

By purchasing from Verily Studio or otherwise communicating with me through Etsy, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use my services or purchase from my shop.

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are made, I will update the “Last updated” date above.

This Privacy Policy applies only to information handled by Verily Studio. It does not apply to third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or other third-party services you may access through Etsy. Please refer to Etsy’s own Privacy Policy for information about how Etsy collects and uses your personal information.

## Information I Collect

To fulfil your order, Etsy may provide me with certain information that you have authorised it to share, including your name, email address, delivery address, order details and other information necessary to process and deliver your purchase.

If you contact me directly, you may also choose to provide additional personal information, such as information relating to your order or a question you have about my products.

I do not receive or have access to your full payment card details when you purchase through Etsy.

## How I Use Your Information

I use personal information only where there is a legitimate reason to do so, including:

* **To fulfil your orders**, including processing, producing and delivering your purchase.
* **To provide customer service**, respond to messages and resolve issues relating to your order.
* **To comply with legal obligations**, such as tax, accounting or other record-keeping requirements.
* **To comply with Etsy's policies and terms**, where necessary for operating my shop.
* **With your consent**, where you have specifically agreed to receive communications or other services from me.
* **For legitimate business purposes**, such as maintaining and improving my shop and services, provided these interests do not override your privacy rights.

## Information Sharing and Disclosure

I take the privacy of my customers seriously and only share personal information when it is necessary to operate my shop, fulfil an order, or comply with legal obligations.

### Etsy

Your information is shared with Etsy as necessary to process your purchase, operate my shop and comply with Etsy's policies and terms.

### Printing and Fulfilment Partners

I use trusted third-party printing and fulfilment providers to produce and ship some of my orders. Depending on the destination and product ordered, this may include:

* **PrintShrimp** — printing and fulfilment

I provide them with only the information reasonably necessary to produce and deliver your order, such as your name, delivery address and order details.

### Business Transfers

If my business is sold, merged or transferred, personal information may be disclosed as part of that transaction, where permitted by applicable law.

### Legal Requirements

I may collect, retain, use or disclose personal information where I reasonably believe this is necessary to comply with legal requirements, respond to lawful requests from authorities, prevent or investigate fraud or other unlawful activity, resolve disputes, or protect the rights, property and safety of my customers or others.

## How Long I Keep Your Information

I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil orders, provide customer support and meet my legal, accounting and regulatory obligations.

Where required, information may be retained for longer periods to resolve disputes, enforce agreements or comply with legal requirements.

I generally retain relevant order and customer information for **five (5) years**, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

## International Transfers of Personal Information

Because I work with Etsy and third-party printing and fulfilment providers, your personal information may be processed or stored in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States and other jurisdictions.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, I rely on appropriate safeguards and lawful transfer mechanisms required under applicable data protection laws.

## Your Rights

Depending on where you live, particularly if you are located in the UK or European Economic Area, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These may include:

* **Right of Access** — You may request a copy of the personal information I hold about you.
* **Right to Rectification** — You may ask me to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
* **Right to Erasure** — You may request that your personal information be deleted, subject to circumstances where I am legally required to retain it.
* **Right to Restrict Processing** — You may request that I limit how your personal information is used in certain circumstances.
* **Right to Object** — You may object to certain types of processing, including processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
* **Right to Withdraw Consent** — Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
* **Right to Complain** — You may contact your local data protection authority if you have concerns about how your personal information is handled.

Some rights may be subject to legal exceptions or limitations.
