Connect to Etsy App Privacy Policy
This privacy notice covers the Kittl Connect to Etsy Extension and supplements Kittl's main Privacy Policy at kittl.com/privacy. Both apply in full; this notice describes only what is specific to the Etsy integration.
The Connect to Etsy Extension uses the Etsy API to let you bring your own Etsy listings, drafts included, into Kittl: add a listing's photos or title to your design, copy its tags and see its variations, in the extension panel and in a Connect to Etsy tab in Kittl's Upload Gallery. It requests only the "shops_r" and "listings_r" permissions, which let Kittl read your shop and your listings; it never changes anything in your Etsy shop. Kittl is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Etsy, Inc. The term 'Etsy' is a trademark of Etsy, Inc. This Application uses Etsy's API, but is not endorsed or certified by Etsy.
When you connect Etsy, Kittl stores only the OAuth credentials (an access token and a refresh token, which Kittl renews through the Etsy API) needed to call the Etsy API on your behalf. Because Etsy requires Kittl's own key on every request, all requests to Etsy go through Kittl's servers, which pass your access token on to Etsy and never log it or anything they read from your shop. The extension keeps the access token only in the memory of the open panel and never saves it in your browser's storage.
The extension reads your Etsy user ID and your shop's name, web address, icon and number of active listings, and, for your active, draft, inactive, sold out and expired listings, each listing's title, status, link, tags, photos with their alternative text, and the names and values of its variations. It reads only your own shop. It does not read listing descriptions, prices, SKUs or quantities, your orders, or the personal data of your buyers, such as names, shipping addresses or payment information.
So that reopening the extension does not ask Etsy again, the extension keeps a copy of what it shows in your browser's storage, never on Kittl's servers: your shop's details, with a signed note from Kittl's servers that ties your shop to your Etsy account, and the listings and variations it loaded. As Etsy's API Terms require, listing details are never shown or kept more than six hours after Kittl read them from Etsy, and your shop's name and icon not more than 24 hours. Older entries are deleted when the extension checks them, every minute while it is open and again when it next opens, and all of them when you disconnect.
The listing previews and your shop icon are loaded by your browser directly from Etsy's servers, so Etsy receives your IP address and standard browser information for those requests, just as when you visit any website. Etsy's image servers do not let other websites add full-size photos to a design, so Kittl's servers fetch those from Etsy, through web addresses they sign only for the photos of your own listings. These photos may be cached by our content delivery network, and by your browser, for up to 6 hours.
When you add a photo to a design, the extension downloads it through Kittl's servers, stores it in your Kittl workspace and places it on the canvas. Adding a title places it on the canvas as text, and copying tags puts them on your clipboard. In the Connect to Etsy tab of Kittl's Upload Gallery, which shows your drafts and active listings, Kittl receives the photo you pick through its signed web address. From then on, what you add is governed by the imported-content terms in our main Privacy Policy.
To stay within the limits Etsy sets for all Kittl users together, Kittl's servers count each Kittl account's requests to Etsy per day under a one-way fingerprint of the account, and delete the counts of earlier days. They also keep the times of the most recent requests and the number of requests Etsy reports Kittl has left for the day, neither of which identifies you, and pause reading shops and listings when fewer than 250 remain. Connecting your shop and renewing the connection are not counted.
Kittl records anonymous usage events for the extension, for example whether connecting, loading listings or adding a photo or title succeeded, how many listings a page returned, how many tags were copied and how long each step took, to operate and improve the feature, as described in the main Privacy Policy. These events contain no Etsy content: no listing titles, tags, photos or links, no shop name, no shop, listing or Etsy user identifiers, and no search text or error messages. Kittl does not sell or redistribute Etsy content or Etsy-derived data to any third party; the service providers described in the main Privacy Policy process it only to operate the extension. Kittl does not use Etsy data, listings, or content to train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve any artificial intelligence or machine learning model.
When you disconnect in the extension, disconnect the integration in Kittl Settings or uninstall the extension in Kittl, Kittl deletes the credentials from its production systems (subject to the limited log and backup retention noted in the main Privacy Policy). Disconnecting in the extension also removes the copies it keeps in your browser. You can also remove Kittl's access in your Etsy account settings; Kittl is not notified when you do, and the stored credentials stop working. Photos and text you already added to a design stay in your Kittl workspace. Etsy content remains subject to Etsy's Terms of Use.
