To complete your order, you must provide me with some information (Etsy has provided you with your authorization), such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, payment details and details of the product you ordered. You may decide to provide me with additional personal information (for example, to order a personalized product), if you contact me directly.

Here I explain the legal bases I rely on to collect, use and share personal information. The legal bases may include the buyer's affirmative consent to receive marketing messages, compliance with legal obligations, and use of the personal information by the seller for legitimate interest (for example to improve their services).

I use your information as needed to comply with my obligations, pursuant to the Seller's Settlement and Etsy Terms of Use.
3. Third parties with whom I share personal information
I make known the details of personal information that I share with third parties. Here I explain why, when and with whom I could share the personal information of the buyers.
Sharing and disclosure of information
Information about my customers is important to my business. I will share your personal information only for limited reasons and circumstances, as follows:
• Etsy. I share the information with Etsy as necessary to provide you with my services and for compliance with my obligations under the Etsy Sales Rules and Conditions of Use.

5. In case of transfer of personal information outside of Europe, how will the transfer be managed
I acknowledge the possible transfer of personal information outside the EU and the legal bases on which you rely to proceed, such as consent and contractual necessity.
