Who we are?

Hello, lovely reader. 🌸 Before we get into the official bits, here’s the short version: we only collect what we need to run this little site, we never sell your information, and you’re always in control. Now, here’s everything in full, written as plainly as we can manage.

The quick summary ♡

• We collect a little info when you subscribe, message us, or simply browse.
• We use cookies to keep the site working and to show ads.
• We use Google AdSense & analytics, you can opt out any time.
• We never sell your personal information. Ever.
• You can ask us to show, correct, or delete your data whenever you like.

At myetopica (“we”, “us”, “our”), your privacy genuinely matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit myetopica.store, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.

What Information We Collect

Things you choose to share

When you subscribe to our newsletter or send us a note through the contact form, we collect the details you give us — usually your name and email address, plus anything you write in your message. That’s it. You’re always the one deciding what to share.

Things collected automatically

Like almost every website, we automatically receive some technical bits when you visit, your browser type, device, approximate location (from your IP address), the pages you look at, and how you found us (say, from Pinterest or a Google search). This is gathered through cookies and similar technologies, and it helps us understand what our readers love.

Cookies (the digital kind 🍪)

Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device that help websites run and understand how visitors use them. We use them to keep the site working smoothly, to see which guides are popular, and to show relevant advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, though a few parts of the site may not work quite as nicely without them.

Advertising

We may show ads served by third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense. These partners use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.

• Google’s advertising cookies let it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits here and to other sites across the internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising any time via Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of third-party vendors’ cookies for personalised ads at aboutads.info.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site, so we can keep making it better for you. These tools collect things like which pages are visited and time spent, in aggregated, anonymised form wherever possible.

Links to Other Websites

Our site links out to other places, most importantly our shop on Etsy. When you click through, you leave myetopica and step into that website’s own privacy rules. We can’t be responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites, so do have a peek at their policies too.

How We Use Your Information

• To send you our newsletter, if you’ve subscribed;
• To reply to your messages and questions
• To understand and gently improve how the site is used
• To show relevant content and advertising.

We do not sell your personal information.

Your Rights & Choices

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter any time using the link at the bottom of any email. You can also ask us to show you, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you — just reach out. Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California), you may have extra rights over your data, and we’re happy to honour them.

Children’s Privacy

This site is meant for grown-up paper lovers and isn’t directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy now and then. When we do, we’ll refresh the “last updated” date at the top. Pop back occasionally to stay in the loop.

Questions? we’re here ♡

If anything here is unclear, we’d love to explain. Reach us any time through our contact page, or email contact@myetopica.store.
