Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted by Shopify, which processes personal information to provide and improve the Services. Your data may be transmitted to Shopify and third parties, potentially in countries outside Canada, to support the Services. Shopify may use data from your interactions with our platform and other merchants to enhance its features, acting as a data controller for such processing. For more information, see the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. You can exercise your rights regarding Shopify’s processing via the Shopify Privacy Portal.
Third-Party Websites and Links
The Services may include links to third-party websites or platforms. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and you should review their policies. Information shared on public or third-party platforms (e.g., social media) may be visible to others, and we are not responsible for its use.
Children's Data
The Services are not intended for children under 19 in British Columbia or 19 in Quebec, as per provincial privacy laws, or 13 elsewhere in Canada. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these ages. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, contact us to request deletion. We do not knowingly "sell" or "share" personal information of minors, as defined by applicable laws.
Security and Retention of Your Information
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, in compliance with PIPEDA. However, no security measures are entirely secure, and data transmitted online may not be secure in transit. We recommend avoiding unsecured channels for sensitive information.
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce contracts, in accordance with Canadian privacy laws.
