This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1) Information We Collect

You can control cookies through your browser settings and (where available) our cookie consent banner/settings. Disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.
3) How We Use Your Information
We use information to:
- operate and maintain the website

- improve the website and user experience
- monitor site performance and prevent fraud/abuse
- understand traffic sources and popular content (analytics)
4) Third-Party Links (Including Etsy)
Our website contains links to third-party platforms (e.g., Etsy). If you click a link and leave our site, your activity is governed by the third party’s privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
5) Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in limited situations, such as:
- Service providers: hosting providers, analytics providers, or tools used to run the site (who process data on our behalf).
- Legal requirements: if required by law, regulation, subpoena, or court order.
- Protection and security: to investigate or prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues.
6) Analytics (Optional)
We may use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics or similar) to understand website traffic and usage. These tools may set cookies and collect usage data. Where required, we will request your consent before enabling non-essential analytics cookies.
If you would like, you can also opt out via your browser settings or available opt-out mechanisms provided by the analytics provider.
7) Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary:
- Contact messages: typically retained for customer support and recordkeeping, then deleted or anonymized when no longer needed.
- Analytics data: retained according to the settings of the analytics tool and our operational needs.
8) International Visitors
If you access the website from outside the country where our hosting or service providers are located, your information may be transferred and processed in other countries. We take steps to protect your data consistent with this policy.
9) Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
