Sellers Privacy and Cookies
Seller / Maker Privacy Notice
Short version:
We process your data to run the marketplace, comply with the law, and promote your work as part of offering a curated platform.
What data we collect
When you open a shop on Among Makers, we collect:
- Contact and account details
- Business information
- Personal identity numbers (where legally required)
- Payment and payout information (via Stripe)
- Shop content, listings, and communication
Why we process it
We use maker data to:
- Operate and administer your shop
- Process payments and payouts
- Meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations
- Provide platform support
- Promote the marketplace and its sellers
Platform promotion
By keeping an active shop on Among Makers, you agree that we may feature your shop or products across our website and digital channels. This is a core part of running the marketplace and cannot be opted out of while remaining active.
Marketing emails
You may opt out of our newsletter without affecting your shop.
You will still receive essential service messages related to orders, payouts, policy changes, and legal updates.
Payments & financial data
Stripe Connect Express handles all payments. Among Makers does not see or store your bank account details — only Stripe identifiers.
Data retention
We retain relevant financial and transactional data for up to 7 years to comply with EU accounting and tax laws.
Seller responsibility
Each maker is an independent seller and is responsible for their own products, fulfilment, and buyer communication.
Your rights
You have the same GDPR rights as any individual under EU law, including access, correction, and deletion of personal data where legally possible.
