Who we are

This application ("Kargomgelsin Etsy Integration", panel.kargomgelsin.com) is operated by Kargomgelsin, an international shipping and customs-clearance provider based in İstanbul, Türkiye. Contact: info@kargomgelsin.com.

What the application does

When a seller connects their Etsy shop, the application imports paid orders, prepares the customs declaration for each shipment and transfers it to Kargomgelsin's operations system so that the parcel can be shipped. Sellers use it only for shops they own.

Data we access from Etsy

• Shop: shop ID and shop name (scope shops_r).
• Orders (receipts): order number, date, items, quantities, prices, currency, order status, and the recipient name and shipping address when Etsy provides them (scope transactions_r).
• Listings: listing ID, title, SKU and primary image, to build the seller's customs product catalogue (scope listings_r).
• Shipment updates: the application may write a tracking number to an order once the parcel has shipped (scope transactions_w).

We do not request or store buyer e-mail addresses, buyer messages, payment details or any data outside the seller's own shop.

How we use the data

Order and recipient data are used exclusively to create the shipment and its customs declaration for Kargomgelsin's carriers (FedEx, UPS) and to show the seller the status of each order. We do not use the data for marketing, profiling or analytics, and we do not sell or share it with third parties other than the carriers and customs authorities involved in delivering the parcel.

Storage and security

• Data is stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted in the European Union (Frankfurt).
• Etsy access and refresh tokens are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and are never displayed or logged.
• All traffic uses HTTPS. Each seller can only see their own shops, orders and products.
• Every write operation is recorded in an audit log.

Retention and deletion

Order data is kept for as long as needed to fulfil, invoice and support the shipment, and for the periods required by Turkish customs and tax law. A seller can disconnect their shop at any time from Etsy (Shop Manager → Apps) or by asking us; on request we delete the shop's tokens and personal data that we are not legally required to keep.
