Privacy Policy
★ Information I Collect
To fulfill 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’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with
additional personal information, 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 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 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;
★ 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:
- 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;
(d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.
★ 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.
★ 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.
- 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:
(1) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests;
(2) 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.
★ How to Contact Me

controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or
concerns, you may contact me here.
