Privacy Policy

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Big Cartel to provide to me), such as your name, email address, mailing address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

  1. 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;
  2. 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
  3. as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as (a) 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 (b) Compliance with the Big Cartel Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Big Cartel Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

  1. Big Cartel. I share information with Big Cartel as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Big Cartel Seller Policy and Big Cartel Terms of Use.
  2. 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.

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 my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 7 years.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Object. You can object to (a) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (b) 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.
  4. 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.

For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Joshua Gates, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me via www.uruzmetals.com.
