Privacy Policy (other) automatic translation, original version in French
These privacy policies describe how I collect, use and share information, and on what occasions, when you order from me or use my services through Etsy.com or related sites and services.
These rules do not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party service that you may access through Etsy. You can consult Etsy's privacy policy to learn more about the site's practices in this regard.
1. Personal information collected
To process your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you have authorized Etsy to send to me), including your name, email, mailing address, payment details, and the description of the product you are ordering. You can also decide to give me certain additional personal information (for a personalized watercolor order for example), by contacting me directly.
2. Why do I need your information and how I use it
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use and share your information, and in particular:
• to provide my services to you, for example when I use your information to process your order, resolve a dispute or provide customer service;
• if necessary, to meet a legal obligation, a legal judgment or in connection with a legal request such as, for example, the fact of keeping information concerning your purchases within the framework of tax legislation; and
• if necessary, to serve my legitimate interests, in the event that those legitimate interests are not invalidated by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you have requested from me and in my legitimate interest to improve those services; and 2) compliance with Etsy's Seller Policies and Terms of Service. I use your information, as necessary, to comply with my obligations under the Seller Rules and Etsy's Terms of Service.
3. Information sharing and dissemination
Information about my customers is important to my business. I only share your personal information for a very limited number of reasons, as well as in a limited number of circumstances such as:
• Etsy. I share your information with Etsy when necessary to provide my services to you and to comply with my obligations under Etsy's Seller Rules and Terms of Service.
• Service providers. I use certain third parties that I trust to perform certain actions or provide certain services for my store - transport companies for example. I may have to share your personal information with these third parties, but only that which is essential for the performance of these services.
• Compliance with the law. I may have to collect, use, retain and share your information if I believe in good faith that it is necessary and reasonable to: (a) respond to a legal process or state request; (b) enforce my agreements, conditions or regulations; (c) prevent, investigate or manage any fraud or other illegal activity, or any technical or security problem; or (d) protect the rights, property and safety of my customers or others.
4. The data retention period
I keep your information only as long as necessary to provide you with my services and for the purposes set out in my privacy policies. I may also need to keep this information to comply with legislative and legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce my commitments. I generally keep them for a period of: 4 years.
5. Transfers of personal information outside the EU
I may potentially store and process your information through third party web hosts located in the United States or other countries. It may therefore happen that I transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction where the legislation regarding data protection and government surveillance is different from that of your country. If I have to transfer your personal information outside of the European Union, I rely on the Privacy Shield as the legal basis for this, Google Cloud having the Privacy Shield certification.
6. Your rights
If you are a resident of certain territories, and in particular of the European Union, you have certain rights relating to your personal information. Some of these rights apply generally, and others only in limited cases. These rights are described below:
• To access. You may have the right to access the personal information that I hold about you and to receive a copy of it by contacting me. You will find my contact details below.
• Modify, restrict, delete. You may also have the right to modify your personal information, restrict my use of it, or delete it. Except in exceptional circumstances (if for example I had to keep data related to my store for legal reasons), I will generally delete your personal information on request.
• To oppose. You may object 1) to my processing some of your information in the context of my legitimate interests and 2) to receiving marketing messages from me after having explicitly consented to receive them. In these specific cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have legitimate reasons for continuing to use it, or in cases where it is necessary for legal reasons.
• To complain. If you are located in the European Union and would like to raise concerns about my use of your information (and without infringing any other rights you may have), you can do so with your local data protection authorities.
7. How to contact me
For the purposes of European data protection law, I, Christine Weissenberger, be the data controller with respect to your personal information. For any questions or concerns, you can contact me through Etsy messaging. You can also send me a mail to the address:
