⚔️ 1. Information We Collect

To fulfill your order, you must provide us with 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 us with additional personal information (for example, a custom order), if you contact us directly. In addition, you may have provided information when you signed up with us to receive marketing emails and texts. These text and emails will only occur if you willingly choose to sign up for our mailing list.

⚔️ 2. Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It

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

* As needed to provide services, such as when we use your information to fulfill your order, settle disputes, or provide customer support.
* When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for our mailing list;
* 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 our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as:
1) Providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services; and
2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. We use your information as necessary to comply with our obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

⚔️ 3. Information We Share and Disclose

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

⚔️ 4. How Long We Retain Your Data

This is held for your convenience for future dealings with our company. If at any time you require us to delete this information from our system, you only need to reach out and we will take care of it for you. We also may be required to retain this information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and to enforce agreements.

⚔️ 5. Your Rights

If you reside in certain territories, 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. We describe these rights below:
* Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below.
* Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict our use of, or delete your personal information.

If you would like to delete your Etsy account please see this article:
* Restrict Processing: In certain cases where we process your information, you may also have the right to restrict or limit the ways in which we use your personal information.
* Object. You can object to (i) our processing of some of your information based on our legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from us after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, we will delete your personal information unless we have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
