Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 20, 2026
Cozy Sewn ("Cozy Sewn," "we," "us," or "our") is a mother-daughter sewing company run by Bethany Teeples in Smithfield, Utah, and Izzy Christiansen in Idaho Falls, Idaho. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit cozysewn.com (the "Site"), contact us, join our email list, or arrange a local pickup, and how we use and protect it.
For now, orders placed through our Site are completed on Etsy. When you buy from us on Etsy, Etsy also collects and handles your information under its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to read.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
- When you contact us: your name, email address, the topic of your message, your Etsy order number (if you include it), and anything you write in your message.
- When you join our email list: your email address, and any interests you choose, such as early access to limited runs or updates about personalized gifts.
- When you arrange a local pickup: your name, contact details, and the pickup time and place we agree on.
- When you order a personalized item (once available): the name or text you ask us to embroider.
Information we receive from Etsy
When you buy from our Etsy shop, Etsy shares the order details we need to make and deliver it, such as your name, shipping address, the items you ordered, and any notes you add. We don't receive your full payment card details; Etsy processes payments.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect information about your device and visit. This includes your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, how long you stay, and the site that referred you. We collect it using cookies and similar technologies (see section 4).
2. How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Reply to your messages and questions.
- Make, ship and deliver your orders, and arrange local pickup.
- Embroider personalized items exactly as you request (once personalization is available).
- Send our emails if you've signed up, such as early access to limited-edition runs, new collections and news about personalized gifts.
- Understand how people use the Site so we can improve it.
- Protect the Site and our customers from spam, fraud and misuse.
- Meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations.
3. How we share your information
We don't sell your personal information. We share it only in these situations:
- Service providers that help us run Cozy Sewn, and only for that purpose:
- Etsy, which processes your orders and payments under its own privacy policy.
- Legal reasons: if the law requires it, or to protect our rights, our customers or others.
- Business changes: if Cozy Sewn is ever sold or transferred, your information may move with it, under the same protections described here.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We and our service providers use them to keep the Site working, remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the Site.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the Site may not work properly without them.
Do Not Track: some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There's no common standard for how websites should respond, and our Site doesn't currently respond to these signals.
5. Our emails
We only send marketing emails if you sign up for them. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. Even after you unsubscribe, we may still send messages about an order or a question you've asked us.
6. Your choices and rights
You can ask us to:
- tell you what personal information we have about you
- correct wrong information
- delete your information, unless we need to keep it for legal or accounting reasons
- stop sending you marketing emails
To make a request, email us at izzyteeples@gmail.com. We'll reply within 30 days. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under your state's laws, and we'll honor them as required.
7. How long we keep information
We keep your information only as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy:
- Messages: up to 1 year
- Order records: as long as tax and accounting rules require
- Email list details: until you unsubscribe
8. How we protect your information
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including secure (HTTPS) connections on the Site and trusted service providers. No method of sending or storing information online is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.
9. Children's privacy
Many of our products are made for babies and children, but our Site is meant for adults. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us, and we'll delete it.
10. Links to other sites
Our Site links to other websites, including Etsy, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook. Their privacy practices are their own, so please read their policies when you visit them.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as Cozy Sewn grows, for example, when we move checkout to our own store or launch personalized gifts. When we do, we'll post the new version here and change the effective date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll also let our email subscribers know.
