What We Don’t Do With Your Personal Information
We assure you that we do not sell or rent your personal information.
​
What We Do To Protect Privacy
When you place orders on our website, all of your order information, including your credit card number and delivery address, is transmitted through the Internet using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL technology causes your browser to encrypt your order information before transmitting it to our secure server. SSL technology, an industry standard, is designed to prevent someone other than operators of our website from capturing and viewing your personal information.
While we use industry standard means to protect our website and your information, the Internet is not 100% secure. The measures we use are appropriate for the type of information we collect. We cannot promise that your use of our website will be completely safe. We encourage you to use caution when using the Internet.
We maintain your personal information for as long as required for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
​
What Do We Do To Ensure Our Service Providers Protect Privacy
From time to time, we may engage third-party service providers to assist us with our purposes, for example Canada Post or other shipping and handling providers. We require all of our third-party service providers to protect your privacy. If your personal information is stored outside Canada, such as by way of a cloud computing provider, we note that it is subject to the laws of the host country and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of that country.
​
Help Us Keep Your Personal Information Up To Date
We rely on you to let us know of any changes to your personal information that may be relevant to your relationship with us. For example, please let us know of any changes to your address. This allows us to keep our records accurate and up to date, helping us to protect your privacy.
​
Your Control Over Your Personal Information
When you or someone you consented to authorize provides us with your personal information, you are consenting to the Company’s use and disclosure of that personal information for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. In many circumstances, particularly when the personal information is extra sensitive, we also employ other methods to further ensure consent, such as "just-in-time" notifications. For example, many of our forms collecting personal information will contain a notice about consent. You can change your consent preferences or withdraw your consent for the collection, use and disclosure of any or all of your personal information, at any time (see contact information below). It is important to note however that when you change or withdraw your consent, it will not have a retroactive effect; it may have implications to you and it will not affect the collection, use and disclosure of personal information where such collection, use and disclosure is permitted or required by law without consent. You may, subject to a few limited legal exceptions, access your personal information. If any inaccuracies are noted, you can request that we correct those inaccuracies.
