Privacy Policy for Triskelt
Etsy Seller: Triskelt, owner Kathi Hennesey

Triskelt, both the name of the company and Etsy shop, is owned and operated by Kathi Hennesey and is located in California, United States of America.

Triskelt has been a shop on Etsy since 2006.

Owner's statement of Privacy Policy:

I use only one business computer at my shop to store some of my buyers’ personal information.
The GDPR requires that I provide certain information to my buyers in my privacy policy, including:

• the personal information I collect;
• the legal bases I rely on to collect, use, and share personal information;
• the third parties with whom I share personal information;
• the length of time I keep personal information;
• if I transfer personal information outside of the United States (for example, if I move my business to Europe, or uses a third party provider located outside of Europe, or uses Google Cloud to host some of my buyers’ information), how the transfer will be handled;
• mybuyers’ rights regarding my use of their personal information; and
• how my buyers can contact me with privacy-related requests.

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

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. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.

1. Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.

2. 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 fulfill your order, to settle disputes, 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 any mailing lists;
• 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. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use;

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
• Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
• Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

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. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. 

I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years; however, that data is not stored electronically, it is only in print form. I retain the electronic data for only 2 months, or until the order is complete, whichever is longer. I rely on Etsy’s data storage and conversation capability should I need to contact a customer.

I have no control over Etsy’s data use or storage. Etsy is an independent data controller, and advises that users contact them directly regarding data access, correction or deletion of personal information held by Etsy. Please send your request to Etsy.com/help for assistance. To learn more about how Etsy handles and protects user personal information, please see their Privacy Policy. www.etsy.com/legal/privacy/

5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

I do not store or process your information through any third-party hosting services.

6. 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. I describe these rights below:

• Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
• Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
• Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
• Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my 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.
