    Privacy policy

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

    This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we 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 We Collect

    To fulfil 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 us with additional personal information (for a custom order of jewelry, for example), if you contact me directly.

    Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It

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

    • as needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfil 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 our 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 our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. We use your information as necessary to comply with our obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

    Information Sharing and Disclosure

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

    • Etsy. We share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you our services and comply with our obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
    • Service providers. We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our shop, such as delivery companies. We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
    • Business transfers. If we sell or merge my business, we may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
    • Compliance with laws. We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce our 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 our customers, or others.

    Data Retention

    We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as described in our Privacy Policy. However, we may also be required to retain this information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. We generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

    Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

    We may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If we am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, we 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. We describe these rights below:

    •Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below.
    •Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict our use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where we am required to store data for legal reasons) we will generally delete your personal information upon request.
    •Object. You can object to (i) our processing of some of your information based on our legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from us after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, we will delete your personal information unless we 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 our 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 Us

    For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Kazia Hodges, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at kazia@geekocitycreations.com.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does the Texture (Inside Opt) dropdown option mean?

    This dropdown option covers two customization options: Texture and Inside Stamping. Since Etsy only allows for one dropdown variable to adjust price, we have to use this one to cover both our small upcharge for fully hammered texture as well as inside cuff stamping.

    The Texture option is first and is either "No Texture," "Edges," or "Fully." "Edges" means that you want the edges of the cuff hammered and "Fully" means you want fully hammered, which is a small upcharge (currently +$2 USD).

    The Inside Option, (+Inside), means that you wish to have a message stamped on the inside of your cuff. This is also a small upcharge (currently $+2.50 USD).

    Sizing details

    Bracelet cuffs should be around 1" to 1 1/2" smaller than your wrist. You should be able to slip the cuff over the side of your wrist and turn it into place. If the cuff is too small, you will need to open and close it constantly, and it will eventually break from the strain. You can measure your wrist with fabric measuring tape OR measure a string or strip of paper after you have wrapped it around your wrist.

    Sizes available:

    • 5" (child or small adult)
    • 6" (default)
    • 7" (large adult)

    Rings:
    This ring comes in three sizes: Small (US 5-6), Medium (US 7-8), and Large (US 9-10). The ring is adjustable within each size range and can be bent to match your finger more

    Care instructions

    Our aluminum jewelry will not tarnish, but sometimes the coloring in the letters can fade through wear.

    This is easily fixed by using a black or colored permanent marker like a Sharpie. Fill in the faded lettering, allow to dry, then use a cloth or paper towel with a small amount of rubbing alcohol to wipe away the excess ink from the surface.

    Much better quality than I expected. Very pleased with it and now I have a Sagan bookmark for my science fiction library .


    This is a great bookmark. Honestly I was skeptical when I bought it. But it's not too think for a book nor too this as to be flimsy; it's a perfect thickness to alleviate both of those problems. The edges are hammered nicely and smoothed out with no sharp edges. And the engraving was done very well. This is my new favorite bookmark.


    Very well made. I got mine tooled on the edges and it looks great. It will be a perfect birthday gift. Thanks!


    Fast shipping. He absolutely loved it!


    It's perfectly perfect and much adored by the giftees!
