Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.

Information I Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal 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.

Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

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

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;
when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
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
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) 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 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.


Information Sharing and Disclosure

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

Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
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.


Data Retention

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: 4 years.

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

Your Rights

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:

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.
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.
Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) 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.
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.

How to Contact Me

For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Sarah Brown, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at sarah@banterandcharm.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I order wedding invitations?

6-9 months before your wedding date is the ideal time to begin. But if you have your details finalized before then, the earlier the better! You'll receive a personalized order timeline detailing the exact approval and shipping dates when you officially order.

How long does it take?

Once you’re on board as a Banter & Charm client, the design process takes 8-10 weeks from start to ship. You’ll receive a personalized timeline for your order, so you know what to expect, and when to expect it.

How do I get started?

Start your wedding invitation order by scheduling a consultation: https://banterandcharm.com/consultation

Can I see samples first?

Yes! I highly encourage that you order a sample kit before placing a full order.
During the design process, you'll be able to preview drafts of your invitation in different colors, fonts, and layouts. Then revise to your heart’s content before anything is printed.

Do you only offer letterpress invitations?

Wedding invitations are available in flat printing, screen printing, letterpress, foil stamping or a combination. Check out the customization guide for more details: https://banterandcharm.com/customize

Can you help with my invitation wording?

Absolutely! You'll receive access to guides with sample wording and etiquette tips when we kick off the order. Or visit Banter & Charm's blog for wording tips and invitation advice: https://banterandcharm.com/blog/

Is there a minimum order? How much should I budget?

8-10% is a good range for all your paper goods (including save the dates, invitations, and day of paper goods). There is not a quantity minimum, but the smaller the quantity, the higher the cost per piece. Expect a minimum investment of $1000.

What if I change my mind or don't love what we come up with?

We have the whole proofing process to get your invitations just right - and nothing prints until you are 100% in love. That being said, if it comes to a point where you’re just not happy and want to call it quits, you can cancel your order any time prior to final approval. You won’t owe any additional fees, but your retainer is non-refundable to cover the time spent in the design process.
