Privacy Policy of the Shop: Da Merry Design

In the context of the conclusion of contracts via the e-commerce platform www.etsy.com, operated by Etsy Ireland UC, 66/67 Great Strand Street, Dublin 1, Ireland (hereinafter: "Etsy"):

1. General
I, the shop operator, do not sell your data.
I treat your data extremely carefully and need and use it exclusively to properly process the purchase you have made.

2. Introduction
This data protection declaration expressly refers only to the collection, use, storage and forwarding of data, over which I as the operator of the above-mentioned shop also have influence. I expressly point out that in order to provide full information about the use of your data in connection with a purchase via our Etsy shop, it is necessary to examine the data protection regulations of the e-commerce platform "Etsy" itself, the payment service provider used and the shipping service provider in addition to these provisions.

3. Definitions
To explain the terms used here, reference is made to Art. 4 GDPR.

4. Contact details of controller
You can contact those responsible for data collection by contacting me directly through my Etsy shop and the associated messaging feature of "Etsy".

5. Minor
If you wish to agree to this privacy policy, a minimum age of 16 years is required. If you have not yet reached this age, a consent, so a prior approval, to this declaration by legal guardian is necessary. A subsequent consent to this declaration is not possible.

6. Legal basis
The interference with your rights to protect your personal data requires a legal basis. I will disclose these to you.
I collect, use, store and forward data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR, because the processing of your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the execution of a pre-contractual measure taken at your request, to which you are or will be a party.

7. Purpose, type and scope of data collection and use
I would like to inform you about the purpose, type and scope of the data collection and use.
The purpose of the data collection and use is to enable legally secure and successful processing of the purchase contracts concluded via "Etsy" for all parties.
The type and scope of the collection and use are within the scope of what is strictly necessary to achieve the purpose. Only personal data that are appropriate are processed. If the data is no longer required to achieve this purpose, it will be deleted by me. I expressly point out that in the context of tax proof obligations, it may be necessary to store individual data segments for a period of several years, e.g. if this data is on invoices. Insofar as this is appropriate and legally possible for us, we anonymize the collected data. I am also accountable to you for documenting the processes associated with your data to an appropriate extent.

I use your data to process your online purchases, orders, and reversals and for notifications about the delivery status or to answer the inquiries you have made. Your data will also be used for the processing of payments, complaints, warranty claims, and identity determinations. Which data I collect and use according to the purpose also depends on the product class you have selected. With a physical product, the focus is on collecting data about your name and address. If you wish to be tracked via the shipping service provider used, it may also be necessary to collect and use your e-mail address. Of course, the shipping service provider also receives the data of your address from me. Whereas with a digital product a download option is provided by "Etsy", which is why the transfer of your data to a shipping service provider is not appropriate. The extent to which "Etsy" passes on your data to the payment service providers is beyond our control. The extent to which "Etsy" stores data about your usage behaviour with regard to search queries, number of shop visits, duration of use, etc. is not within our sphere of influence.
The recipients of your data are, on the one hand, I, the person responsible for data collection. On the other hand, I use third parties to fulfil my tasks, who may also become recipients of your data to the extent necessary, insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment of the purpose. These third parties may be:
- the print provider commissioned for the fulfilment,
- the shipping service provider commissioned for the fulfilment,
- service providers that we use to advise our company (tax consultants, lawyers, etc.),
- service providers used to communicate with you and third parties.
Your data will only be passed on to the extent necessary for the fulfilment of the contract.
For a comprehensive assessment of your data use, I advise you to also obtain information from the corresponding payment, shipping and communication service provider.

8. Reviews, Comments & News
The processing of your data by "Etsy", which arises from your use of rating, message and comment functions, is not subject to our influence. I process this data only to the extent necessary for the fulfilment or preparation of the contract.

9. Your rights
I would also like to inform you that you have the right to request information about the status of your data from us at any time and free of charge. You can also request the correction and deletion of your data. Regarding the latter, it must be said that this must be subject to the restrictions that the laws and the above-mentioned purpose require of us. Insofar as you request the deletion of your data, I take care to pass on this request to the bodies to which I had to pass on your data in order to fulfil the purpose of collection.
You can revoke your consent to this data protection declaration at any time, informally and without giving reasons. In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authorities if you have any concerns about your data security. However, I hope that you will first contact me if you have any questions.

10. Transparency
Should I ever plan to change the purpose of your data collection and use, I will inform you in good time.

11. Dealing with data leaks
I work extremely carefully and reliably. Should it nevertheless happen that your data reaches third parties without authorization, I will inform you and the competent supervisory authority immediately, provided that risk for the violation of your rights and freedoms is not absolutely excluded.
