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 handylittleme.com or its related sites and services.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy, Amazon or any third party services you access through this website.
YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
I value your privacy and we will do everything possible to keep your information private. I will not share your information with other companies for any reason.
Every free pattern on the website handylittleme.com is provided totally free of charge.
Handylittleme does not require signing up, logging in, or registering to access any free resources or free knitting patterns.
When you sign up for the handylittleme newsletter, the information your provide (your name and email address) are used solely for the purpose of sending out the newsletter.
This information is kept private and used only by me.
To fulfil any order, you must provide me with certain information (which you provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering.
This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If I have trouble processing an order, I will use this information to contact you.
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 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 my 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 Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

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