ETSY - THE SOVEREIGN CUSTODY PLAN  (Chapter 5)

Ownership isn't having a copy; it's having a copy someone else can't
take. Three places at once: your working tool, your own computer, and one
independent cloud account under a SEPARATE login. Sync is not backup (a
deletion syncs too) - keep a versioned or offline copy as well. Living
data (the list, the records) changes daily: automate their backup where
your tools support it; where they don't, a fixed scheduled export - never
"when I remember", which is abandoned by the third Sunday.

  ASSET             2ND HOME (separate login)  AUTO?  RESTORE-TEST
  ----------------  -------------------------  -----  ------------
  1 list + consent  _______________________    Y/N    last: ______
  2 design/product  _______________________    Y/N    last: ______
  3 finance/records _______________________    Y/N    last: ______

  the THIRD place (my own computer / an offline or versioned
  copy that a sync error cannot reach):  _______________________

  [ ] consent evidence (opt-in date + source) is INCLUDED in #1
      - addresses without their consent record are a liability,
        not an asset: not permitted to market to under Etsy's
        policy, and possibly unlawful depending on where they live.
  restore-test cadence (all rows): every ______ months
  next restore test: ______

  RULE: living data (list + records) is automated where the tool
        allows, and on a fixed scheduled export where it doesn't.
        A backup isn't real until I've restored from it - and
        re-tested since, because exports and logins drift.

  Note: your Etsy order/financial export is your ACCOUNTING, not
  your audience - buyer details in it are for fulfilling orders,
  not marketing. Confirm the current export location in your own
  Shop Manager.
