How to Comply with General Data Protection Regulation

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a series of European Union (EU) regulations around the right to data deletion and access.

If you have an Etsy shop and sell to EU buyers, you may need to:

Create your own GDPR-compliant privacy policy in your Etsy shop policies for buyers to read and understand. Learn more about setting your own privacy policy.
If you’re storing or using a buyer’s information outside of Etsy (for example, an email address for a newsletter) you must follow applicable rules on being transparent with how you use this information for things like analytics, marketing, or sharing with third parties.
If the buyer asks that you stop using their personal information for any of the reasons you outlined, you must do so.

Consider consulting with a lawyer for guidance on how these regulations could directly affect you. Learn more about privacy policies in our House Rules.
