Etsy’s Privacy Principles Etsy’s Privacy Policy details how we handle member information and reflects our commitment to member privacy and transparency. Beyond these policies, Etsy seeks to adopt and maintain appropriate privacy and data security practices, which are reflected in our Privacy Principles.

  1. Ethical Custodians: We only collect and use data that we reasonably need in order to provide you with our services, for marketing, if legally required, and to provide our community with improved experiences and products.
  2. It’s Your Data: We believe you should have control over your data. We provide you with tools to easily access, download, and edit the data we’ve collected and allow you the choice, subject to applicable rules, to close your account and even delete your data.
  3. Choice: We empower you with the choice to decide how to control your data. You can choose whether or not to participate in personalized advertising with third party partners. You can also choose which, if any, marketing communications to receive.
  4. Data Safety & Security: Etsy takes the safety and security of your data seriously. We use industry standard technologies, such as TLS encryption, and work hard every day to protect your data. We also ask our partners and vendors to use appropriate security controls and privacy practices.
  5. Transparency: We will tell you what data we collect, how we use data, and how we share it (including via cookies or SDKs). We will update our privacy policy from time to time, as we build new products and as privacy laws around the world evolve.
  6. A Continuing Commitment: At Etsy, we understand that privacy is an evolving topic, and we’re committed to these principles as we build and grow.
