Information We Collect

To fulfill your order and collect your information for purposes such as application or registration, you must provide us with certain information, such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide us with additional personal information from time to time if you contact us directly.

Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It

We collect, use and share your information in several legally-permissible ways, including:

  • As needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide you with 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 or to receive notifications from us;

  • If necessary to comply with a court order or legal obligation, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and

  • As necessary for our own legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as (a) providing and enhancing our services; (b) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use and other terms of services for the services mentioned above;

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Protecting our customers’ personal information is crucially important to our organization and something we very seriously. For these reasons, we share your personal information only for limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

  • With Etsy. We share your information with Etsy as necessary to provide you our services and comply with our obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use;

  • With Third-Party Service Providers. We engage the following trusted third parties to perform functions and provider services to our shop and website: Google for data storage; USPS for delivering orders; Squarespace for website hosting and data storage, and Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram for marketing.

We may share you personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services;

  • In the Event of a Business Transfer. If we sell or merge my business, we may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.

  • In Compliance with Laws. We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that doing so is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) perform legal obligations to which we are bound by agreements; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of our customers, or others.

How Long We Store Your Information

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as otherwise described in my Privacy Policy. However, we may also be required to retain this information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce or perform under my agreements. We generally keep your data for the following time period: ten (10) years.

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

We may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction has. If we are required to transfer information about you outside of the EU, we 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. Your rights are as follows:

  • Right to Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below.

  • Right to Change, Restrict, or Delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict our use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (such as where we are required to store information for legal reasons) we will generally delete your personal information upon your request.

  • Right to Object. You can object to (a) our processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (b) receiving marketing messages from us. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless we have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue storing and using your information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

  • Right to Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about our 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.
