  • Email Marketing Service: If we use a third-party email marketing service to manage our newsletter, we will share your email address with them.
  • Legal Authorities: We may disclose your information if required by law or legal process.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage method is 100% secure.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like pixels and web beacons) to enhance your experience on our Site and help us understand how people use our site so we can improve it. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website.

To manage your cookie preferences and ensure compliance with privacy regulations, we utilize CookieYes, a Cookie Consent Management Platform (CMP). When you first visit our Site, a cookie banner will appear, allowing you to provide, withdraw, or modify your consent for different categories of cookies.

Here’s a breakdown of the types of cookies we use and their purposes:

  • 1. Strictly Necessary/Essential Cookies:
    • Purpose: These cookies are crucial for the basic functionality of our website. They enable core features like maintaining your shopping cart, allowing you to log into your account, and processing your checkout. They are essential for the Site to operate correctly.
    • Examples: Session cookies (to keep you logged in), shopping cart cookies, and security cookies.
    • Management: Our website would not function without these cookies, so they cannot be turned off through our consent banner.
  • 2. Performance/Analytical Cookies:
    • Purpose: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site. They collect information such as which pages are most popular, how long visitors spend on our site, and how they navigate. This aggregated data helps us measure and improve our Site’s performance and user experience.
    • Examples: Cookies set by internal analytics features (e.g., within WooCommerce) or external analytics services like Google Analytics (if you choose to implement it).
    • Management: You can choose to accept or decline these cookies via the CookieYes consent banner. If declined, we will have less information to optimize the Site.
  • 3. Functionality Cookies:
    • Purpose: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you’ve made (e.g., remembering items in your cart from a previous visit). This enables enhanced features and a more personalized Browse experience.
    • Examples: Remembering items in your cart between visits.
    • Management: You can choose to accept or decline these cookies via the CookieYes consent banner. If declined, some personalized features may not function as intended.

Third-Party Cookies:

Please note that third parties (including, for example, payment processors like WooCommerce, PayPal, and Stripe) may also use cookies for their services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties for more information on their specific cookie practices, as our CookieYes banner primarily manages cookies directly set by our Site or scripts we implement.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences:

You can always change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Revisit Consent” button (or similar text) which CookieYes typically adds to your website, often in the footer or as a floating icon. This will re-open the cookie consent banner, allowing you to modify your choices. You can also control cookies through your web browser settings.

Data Retention

We will retain your Order Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law (e.g., for tax purposes). We will retain your email address for newsletter subscriptions until you unsubscribe. Cookie consent logs are retained by CookieYes for a specified period as required for compliance.

Your Rights

You may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. Please contact us if you would like to exercise these rights. You also have the right to unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. Additionally, you have the right to manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time via the CookieYes banner on our Site.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ontario, Canada.
