Information Bakeapple Collects:

To fulfil your order, Bakeapple requires certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to us), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide Bakeapple with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact Bakeapple directly.

Why Bakeapple Designs Needs Your Information and How It Is Used:

Bakeapple relies on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

1) as needed to provide services, such as when using your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
2) when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for a mailing list;
3) if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of Bakeapple's legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving services. Bakeapple my use your information to provide the services you requested and in its legitimate interest to improve services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Bakeapple will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with it's services, as described in the Bakeapple Privacy Policy, and only as needed to fulfill orders placed by you. However, Bakeapple may also be required to retain this information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce agreements. Bakeapple will generally keep your data for the following time period: 7 years.

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU:

Bakeapple may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in Canada and the US, and other jurisdictions. As a result, Bakeapple may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If Bakeapple is deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, we rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. Those rights are described below:

Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict Bakeapple's use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where we are required to store data for legal reasons) Bakeapple will generally delete your personal information upon request.
Object. You can object to (i) Bakeapple's processing of some of your information based on it's legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from Bakeapple after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, Bakeapplewill delete your personal information unless there exists compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
