At Monkey See Boutique, your trust means everything to us. I’m committed to keeping your personal information safe, secure, and used only in ways that help me complete your order and offer the best possible experience.

1. Information I Collect
To create your custom items, Etsy provides me with certain details you’ve authorized, such as:
Your name
Mailing address
Email address
Payment information (handled securely by Etsy — I never see your full card details)
Order details and customization notes
Any messages you send directly through Etsy
I only receive the information necessary to fulfill your order and provide customer support.

2. Why I Need Your Information & How I Use It
I use your information to:
Create and ship your custom order
Provide customer service or respond to messages
Resolve disputes
Maintain shop records for tax and legal purposes
Send updates only if you’ve opted into my shop’s marketing
I do not sell, trade, or share your personal information for marketing with outside companies. That’s a big boutique “nope.”

3. Legal Bases for Using Your Information
Under data protection laws, I rely on several legal bases:
Contract: to fulfill your order
Consent: for optional marketing — you can withdraw anytime
Legal obligation: tax and business records
Legitimate interest: improving my services and preventing fraud

4. Information Sharing & Disclosure
Your information is shared only where necessary:
Etsy: to process payments, manage orders, and keep our transactions secure
Shipping providers: to print accurate shipping labels and deliver your order
Legal compliance: if required by law, such as responding to court orders or preventing fraud
I never share your information for unrelated marketing purposes.

5. Data Retention
I keep your information only for as long as needed:
Order details and communication records: up to 7 years for tax and business purposes
Marketing consent information: until you unsubscribe (which you can do anytime)

6. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
If you live in the EU or UK, please know that Etsy may store data on servers outside your home country. Etsy ensures these transfers meet GDPR requirements. I rely on Etsy’s compliance for secure processing.

7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
Access the personal information I hold about you
Correct or delete your information
Restrict how your information is used
Object to certain uses (like marketing)
Request a copy of your data
You can contact me via Etsy Messages anytime to make a request.
