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.com. 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 such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information and the details of the product that you are ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order 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 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.
