Etsy and sellers are separate data controllers of buyers' personal information under EU law
The Terms say that Etsy and sellers each process members' personal information, such as a buyer's name, email address and shipping address, and are therefore treated as separate and independent data controllers of buyers' personal information under EU law. Each party is responsible for the personal information it processes in providing the Services. As an example, if a seller accidentally discloses a buyer's name and email address while fulfilling another buyer's order, the seller, not Etsy, is responsible for that disclosure.

if a seller accidentally discloses a buyer’s name and email address when fulfilling another buyer’s order, the seller, not Etsy, will be responsible for that unauthorized disclosure.
Qualifications & exceptions
The controller statement is framed under EU law.
The responsibility example concerns a seller's own accidental disclosure while fulfilling an order.
