This Privacy Policy outlines how Humayart collects, uses, and shares your information when you interact with us, such as when you make a purchase, contact us, or use our services.
Please note: This policy applies specifically to Humayart's practices. It does not cover the practices of third parties we don't own or control, including platforms like Etsy if you accessed our services through them. For information on their privacy practices, please refer to their respective privacy policies.
To process your orders and provide our services, we collect certain personal information. This typically includes:
Your name, email address, and postal address
Payment information
Details of the product you are ordering
If you contact us directly, for example, for a custom art order, you may choose to provide additional personal information.
We rely on several legal bases to collect, use, and share your information:
To Provide Our Services: We use your information to fulfill your orders, resolve disputes, and offer customer support.
With Your Consent: If you've given us your explicit consent (e.g., by signing up for our mailing list), we'll use your information accordingly. You can revoke this consent at any time.
For Legal Compliance: We may need to retain and use your information to comply with legal obligations, court orders, or in connection with legal claims (e.g., tax law requirements for purchase records).
For Our Legitimate Interests: We use your information to improve and provide our services, and to comply with the terms of any platforms we use (like the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use), provided these interests do not override your rights or interests.
Your personal information is important to us, and we share it only in limited circumstances:
Platform Providers: We share information with platforms like Etsy as necessary to provide you with our services and to comply with our obligations under their respective policies and terms of use.
Service Providers: We engage trusted third parties, such as delivery companies, to perform functions and provide services for Humayart. We share your personal information with them only to the extent necessary for them to perform these services.
Business Transfers: If Humayart were to be sold or merge with another business, your information might be disclosed as part of that transaction, but only as permitted by law.
Legal Compliance: We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we believe it's reasonably necessary to:
Respond to legal processes or government requests.
Enforce our agreements and policies.
Prevent, investigate, and address fraud, illegal activity, security, or technical issues.
Protect the rights, property, and safety of our customers or others.
We keep your personal information only for as long as needed to provide you with our services and as described in this Privacy Policy. We may also retain this information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Generally, we keep your data for 4 years.
We may store and process your information using third-party hosting services in various jurisdictions, including the US. If your personal information is transferred outside of the EU, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers. For example, we rely on frameworks like Privacy Shield where applicable (e.g., if Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified).
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have specific rights concerning your personal information:
Access: You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Change, Restrict, Delete: You may have the right to change, restrict our use of, or request the deletion of your personal information. We generally delete personal information upon request, unless we are legally required to store it.
Object: You can object to our processing of some of your information based on our legitimate interests, or to receiving marketing messages from us after giving your consent. In such cases, we will delete your personal information unless we have compelling and legitimate reasons to continue using it or if it's needed for legal reasons.
Complain: If you're in the EU and have concerns about our use of your information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
