BooyakaDesigns Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 12, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how and when BooyakaDesigns ("I", "me", "my") collects, uses, and shares your information when you purchase an item from my Etsy shop, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services. You agree to this policy by using my services.
This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third-party services you access through Etsy. You should review Etsy's own Privacy Policy for more information.
1. Information I Collect
To fulfill your order, you provide certain information to me (via Etsy), including your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and details of the product you’re ordering. You may also provide additional personal information if you contact me directly.
2. Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on several legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
To provide my services, such as fulfilling your order, settling disputes, and offering customer support.
When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time (e.g., signing up for a newsletter).
To comply with legal obligations, such as retaining tax records.
For my legitimate interests, provided those interests do not override your rights, such as improving my services and complying with Etsy policies.
3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
I share your personal information only for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances:
With Etsy: I share information as necessary to provide my services and comply with my obligations under Etsy's Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
With Service Providers: I engage trusted third parties to perform functions for my shop (e.g., postal and delivery services). I share your personal information only to the extent necessary.
For Legal Reasons: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms, and policies; (c) prevent fraud and address security issues; or (d) protect the rights and safety of my customers.
Business Transfers: If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction.
4. Data Retention
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in this Privacy Policy. I may also retain information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce my agreements. A typical retention period for tax records is [e.g., 4 years].
5. International Data Transfers
If you are in the European Union (EU), please be aware that I am based in United States. Your information may be transferred to and stored on servers outside the EU, including in the United States. I may use third-party hosting services in other countries. I rely on legal mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure your data is protected.
6. Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have rights related to your personal information:
Access: You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you.
Change, Restrict, Delete: You may have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information.
Object: You can object to the processing of your information based on my legitimate interests.
Data Portability: You may have the right to receive your information in a structured, machine-readable format.
You can often review and update your information directly via your Etsy account. For other requests, contact me using the details below. If an Etsy buyer contacts you directly about their data, Etsy recommends you may contact Etsy for assistance or ask the buyer to send a request directly to Etsy.
7. Contact Information
For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Jacy Wheelwright, am the data controller of your personal information for my shop. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me via Etsy Messages or at:
Email: booyakadesigns@gmail.com
8. Changes to This Policy
I may update this policy from time to time. If I make material changes, I will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy.
