I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest toimprove 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.\n\nInformation Sharing and Disclosure\n\nInformation about my customers is important to my business.

If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.\n\n-Compliance with laws.
