This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy such as PayPal or Apple Pay (or etc.)

Please check those service providers for their privacy policies!


Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), 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 me with additional personal information (for a custom order) if you contact me directly.

This information is stored on Etsy's servers and I download it once a year in .csv form to do my taxes. Then I delete the .csv files.


Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

* To fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
* 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


Information Sharing and Disclosure

I do not disclose your information with anyone outside of Etsy, which collects it on my behalf.

In the unlikely event that I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.

I may use or share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to mandatory government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues (unlikely!)


Data Retention

I retain your personal information (on Etsy's servers only, not in my shop email account or anywhere else) only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. It is regulated by Etsy's Terms of Service.


Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

I am based in the USA. I do not transfer your information to any other persons or services (failing an unlikely supina from a government that I was unable to deny)


Your Rights

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information.

* 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 such as paying my taxes) I will delete your personal information upon request.
* Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority!

How to Contact Me

For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Alisa Beer, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me via Etsy, via email, or send me physical mail -- please request my mailing address via electronic message.
