**Privacy Policy**

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from this Etsy shop, which specializes in curated vintage and pre-owned jewelry and accessories.

---

**1. Information I Collect**

To complete your purchase, Etsy provides me with certain information you have authorized Etsy to share, including:

* Your name
* Email address
* Shipping and billing address
* Payment details (processed securely by Etsy — I do not receive full payment information)
* Order details and purchase history

You may also voluntarily provide additional information if you contact me directly through Etsy Messages, such as questions about an item, sizing, condition, or custom requests.

---

**2. Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It**

I use your information only as necessary to operate this small business and fulfill orders. Specifically, I use your information to:

* Process, package, and ship purchased items
* Communicate with you regarding your order, shipping updates, or questions
* Provide customer support and resolve issues or returns
* Maintain accurate financial and tax records as required by law
* Help ensure safe transactions and prevent fraud

Because this shop sells vintage and previously owned items, communication regarding item condition, authenticity descriptions, and order fulfillment may require limited order-related messaging through Etsy.

**3. Information Sharing and Disclosure**

I respect your privacy and share your personal information only when necessary to operate the shop:

* **Etsy:** Information is shared with Etsy as required to provide marketplace services and comply with Etsy’s Seller Policies and Terms of Use.
* **Shipping Providers:** Your name and address are shared with postal carriers (such as USPS, UPS, or other delivery services) solely to deliver your purchase.
* **Legal Requirements:** Information may be disclosed if required to comply with applicable laws, tax obligations, or legal processes.

I do not sell, trade, or use your personal information for external marketing purposes.

**4. Data Retention**

I retain order information only as long as necessary to provide customer service and to meet legal and tax obligations. In most cases, records are retained for up to 7 years in accordance with U.S. tax and accounting requirements.

**5. Transfers of Personal Information**

This shop operates in the United States. If you are located outside the U.S., your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where Etsy or its service providers operate.
