Below is an in depth look at the privacy policy which conforms to the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other local data protection laws regarding personal information collected and used, and the protection of privacy rights of online shoppers. In a quick summary, I use your information to process your order (i.e. payment and shipping).

♦Information I collect

To fulfill your order, you provide me with certain information:
•Name
•Contact information including email address
•Demographic information such address and post code
•Payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering
•You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (when placing a custom order for example)

♦Third Parties with whom I share personal information

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

•Etsy - Your information will be shared with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
•Service providers - I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services, such as delivery companies and payment processing (PayPal). I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
•Business transfers - If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
Compliance with laws - I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

♦Data Retention

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements.

♦Why and what I do with the information gathered

I require this information to understand your needs and provide you with better service, and in particular for the following reasons:
•Internal record keeping. I rely on a number of legal reasons to collect, use, and share your information, including:
•As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time.
•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 to comply with obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use

♦Transfers of Personal Data Outside The EU

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction.

♦Your Rights

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. I describe these rights below:
•Access: You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
•Change, restrict, delete: You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
•Object: You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

♦How to Contact Me

For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Gari Anne Kosanke, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at beadloverskorner@gmail.com or through this shops contact button.
