Privacy Policy
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 or its related sites and services.
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. You
can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.
Information I Collect
To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you
authorised 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 of jewellery, for example), if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information,
including:
 as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your
order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
 when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any
time, such as by signing up for my 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 my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests
are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my
services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my
legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller
Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my
obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
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. I share information 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 to my shop, such as delivery companies. 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. I generally keep your data for the
following time period: 4 years.
Transfers of Personal Information 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. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely
on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy
Shield certified.
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.
 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, Katja Schulz, am the data controller of
your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact
me using the "shop owner"-contact button.
