Catnip Confections Candy Collection: Honeysuckle, Silvervine, Catnip & Valerian Crocheted Cat Toy BonBons

Privacy

Although cats think nothing of bathing in public, many humans are very concerned about privacy. Please rest assured that I do not sell your information or use it for marketing purposes. I use your personal information only for filling your order and shipping it to your address, answering your questions, or to comply with legal requirements.

This general promise unfortunately does not cover all the specific points required to be disclosed by law, so the following is my detailed Privacy Policy:

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, including CatnipConfections.com (which is hosted on Pattern by Etsy).

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 at http://www.etsy.com/legal/privacy

* 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 and the details of the product(s) that you are ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (if needed for a custom order, for example), 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 asking to be notified about something, or by signing up for my mailing list (although as of 2018, I do not have a 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; 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.

* 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:

- with Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and to comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
- with Service Providers. I engage certain trusted third parties, such as delivery companies, to perform functions and provide services to my shop. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services (for example, to deliver your order to your address)
- in 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.

* 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 legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce agreements.

* International Customers *

If you access this site from countries outside the United States, please note that your personal information will be transferred to the United States, where I am located. By entering your personal information, you consent to having it transmitted to and processed in the United States.

* Your Privacy Rights *

You may have the right to receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Outside of exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally change or delete your personal information upon request.

* Privacy Policy Updates *

I may from time to time revise this Privacy Policy. If I do, I will post the changes on this page and indicate the new Privacy Policy's effective date so that you are always aware of what information I collect and how I use it. Unless I receive your express consent, I will only use and disclose your information in a manner consistent with the version of the Privacy Policy that was in effect at the time I collected the information.

I welcome your questions and comments about privacy. Feel free to contact me using the Contact link found either at the top or bottom of any page.

Privacy Policy Effective Date: May 25, 2018
