Your privacy is very important to me. As the owner of this shop, I am committed to protecting your personal data and being transparent about how I collect, use, and share it. This policy outlines the information I collect, how I use it, and your rights related to your data.

1. Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide), such as:
• Your name
• Email address
• Postal address
• Payment information (processed securely by Etsy or its payment providers)
• Details of the product you’re ordering
You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (e.g., for a custom order), 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 fulfill your order
• To provide customer support
• To comply with legal obligations (such as retaining records for tax purposes)
• If you have provided your affirmative consent (e.g., to be on a mailing list)

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

I share your personal information only when necessary, and in limited circumstances:
• Etsy: I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with their policies.
• Service providers: I may use trusted third-party services (like shipping companies) to deliver your order.
• Legal compliance: I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if required by law (e.g., to respond to legal process or prevent fraud).

4. Data Retention

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my privacy policy. I may also be required to retain this information to comply with legal and tax obligations. Typically, data is kept for 4 years.

5. Transfers of Personal Data Outside the EU

If I store or process your data using third-party services (like cloud storage) that are based outside the EU, I ensure they comply with the GDPR by using trusted, secure platforms with appropriate safeguards in place (such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses).

6. Your Rights

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have rights under data protection laws, including:
• The right to access and receive a copy of the personal data I hold about you
• The right to request correction or deletion of your data
• The right to object to processing or restrict the use of your data
• The right to data portability
To exercise any of these rights, contact me at the email below.
