THIS PRIVACY POLICY DESCRIBES HOW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS COLLECTED, USED, AND SHARED WHEN YOU VISIT OR MAKE A PURCHASE FROM OUR ETSY PAGE. WE MAY CHANGE THIS POLICY FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN WE UPDATE OUR PAGE.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

In order for us to fulfil your order when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase on our page, we collect certain information from you (which you authorised Etsy to provide to us) including your name, address, email address, payment information, information about which products you’ve purchased and a contact number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

WHY DO WE COLLECT THIS INFORMATION AND HOW DO WE USE IT?

We collect the information listed above in order for us to easily get your order fulfilled, to provide information to you about when your order is on its way and to contact you if there is a problem with your order.

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

As needed to provide our services, such as when we 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 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.

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 our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services; 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.

If you have signed up to our newsletter, we may from time to time send you emails regarding new products, offers, new collection updates amongst other emails that we believe may be of interest to you. We use MailChimp to send you these emails and the data that you provide to us when signing up to our email marketing campaigns is stored on their servers. MailChimp will NEVER email you directly, they can not access this data and are merely a platform for us to send you these emails that you have consented too. You can, of course, opt out of these emails at any time by emailing us directly at whatagirlwantsbusiness@gmail.com or by clicking unsubscribe at the bottom of the email campaigns and you will be unsubscribed, however, this will NOT remove the personal data that you have provided to us from our email marketing provider (MailChimp). You can, however, request for this data to be removed permanently from our email marketing account provider (MailChimp) by emailing us and telling us that you want this data to be removed.

Service providers. We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our shop, such as delivery companies and product suppliers. We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

BUSINESS TRANSFER
