This Privacy Policy describes how and when Sarah Kates collects, uses, and shares information when you purchase an item from the shop, contact the shop, or otherwise use Sarah Kates services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that Sarah Kates does 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.

| INFORMATION COLLECTED |

To fulfil your order, you must provide Sarah Kates with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering.

| WHY YOUR INFORMATION IS NEEDED AND HOW IT IS USED |

Sarah Kates relies on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

- as needed to provide services, such as when Sarah Kates uses your information to fulfil 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 a Sarah Kates 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 Sarah Kates legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving Sarah Kates services. Sarah Kates uses your information to provide the services you requested and in Sarah Kates legitimate interest to improve services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. Sarah Kates uses your information as necessary to comply with obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

| INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE |

Information about my customers is important to our business. Sarah Kates shares your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

-Etsy. Sarah Kates shares information with Etsy as necessary to provide you services and comply with our obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
-Service providers. Sarah Kates engages certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to the shop, such as delivery companies. Sarah Kates will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
-Business transfers. If Sarah Kates is sold or the business is merged, we may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
Compliance with laws. Sarah Kates may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce 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 our customers, or others.

| DATA RETENTION|

Sarah Kates retains your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as described in the Privacy Policy. However, Sarah Kates may also be required to retain this information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. We generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

| TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE OF THE EU |

Sarah Kates may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, Sarah Kates may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If Sarah Kates is deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, we rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

| 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. These rights are described below:

-Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information Sarah Kates holds about you by contacting us using the contact information below.
-Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict the use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where Sarah Kates is required to store data for legal reasons) Sarah Kates will generally delete your personal information upon request.
-Object. You can object to (i) Sarah Kates processing of some of your information based on our legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from Sarah Kates after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, we will delete your personal information unless we 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 Sarah Kates 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.
