2. Scope & Legal Framework
We operate under Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws.

-
Payment processors (Stripe / Shopify Payments)
-
Email & SMS platforms (Klaviyo or equivalent)

Shipping partners (Canada Post, UPS)

We employ TLS encryption, role-based access controls, network firewalls, and regular security audits. No method of transmission is 100 % secure; you acknowledge this inherent risk.
9. Data Retention
We keep Personal Information only as long as necessary for the purposes above or as required by law (e.g., 7 years for tax records). Affiliate payout records may be retained longer for accounting obligations.
