We do not store full payment card details on our servers; payment processing is handled by our third-party payment processor(s).

Social Media Data, If you connect your account to a social-networking service (such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or similar), we may receive information from that service, including your name, username, profile picture, email address, and any other information you have made public on that platform.

You may revoke these permissions at any time through the social-networking service’s settings.

  • Consent, You have given us clear, affirmative consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g. subscribing to our newsletter, accepting non-essential cookies).
  • Contract, Processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (e.g. processing a payment for services you have ordered).
  • Legitimate interests, Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (e.g. improving the Site, preventing fraud) provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
  • Legal obligation, Processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation (e.g. responding to a lawful subpoena or court order).

These service providers are contractually required to use your information only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them and to maintain its confidentiality.

Interactions with Other Users, If you interact with other users of the Site, those users may see your name, profile photo, and descriptions of your activity.

Online Postings, When you post comments, contributions, or other content to the Site, your posts may be viewed by all users and may be publicly distributed outside the Site.

Third-Party Advertisers, We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site. These companies may use information about your visits to the Site and other websites (contained in cookies) to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. For more details, please see our Cookie Policy.

Business Partners, We may share your information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services, or promotions.

Business Transfers, If we reorganise or sell all or a portion of our assets, undergo a merger, or are acquired by another entity, we may transfer your information to the successor entity. In such an event, the successor entity will be bound by this Privacy Policy with respect to your information. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

We are not responsible for the actions of third parties with whom you share personal or sensitive data, and we have no authority to manage or control third-party solicitations. If you no longer wish to receive correspondence, emails, or other communications from third parties, you are responsible for contacting the third party directly.

Tracking Technologies and Cookies

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Site to help customise the Site and improve your experience. For full details on the cookies we use, how we obtain consent, how to manage your preferences, and your rights regarding cookie data, please see our Cookie Policy available on the Site.

Internet-Based Advertising, We may use third-party software to serve ads on the Site, implement email marketing campaigns, and manage other interactive marketing initiatives. This third-party software may use cookies or similar tracking technology. For more information about opting out of interest-based ads, visit the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool or the Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool.

Website Analytics, We may partner with third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to analyse usage of the Site. These providers may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyse information about your use of the Site. You can learn more about Google Analytics’ privacy practices at Google Analytics Privacy.

Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Preference Signals

We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals and other legally recognised universal opt-out preference signals sent by your browser or browser extension. When we detect a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, as required by the CCPA/CPRA and applicable state privacy laws. You do not need to take any additional steps beyond enabling GPC in your browser.

As of 2026, twelve or more US states legally require businesses to honour universal opt-out mechanisms such as GPC, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Montana, Oregon, Delaware, New Hampshire, and others. We comply with these requirements.

Third-Party Websites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and applications of interest, including advertisements and external services, that are not affiliated with us. Once you have used these links to leave the Site, any information you provide to these third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of your information. Before visiting and providing any information to any third-party websites, you should inform yourself of the privacy policies and practices of the third party responsible for that website. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other sites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from the Site.

Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorised parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it. If deletion or anonymisation is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

International Data Transfers

We are based in Canada. If you access the Site from outside Canada, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in Canada and in other countries where our service providers operate. Data-protection laws in these countries may differ from those in your country of residence.

If you are located in the EEA or the UK, we will ensure that transfers of your personal data to countries outside the EEA or UK are subject to appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.

If you are located in Québec, we will ensure that transfers outside Québec are subject to a privacy impact assessment and appropriate contractual protections, as required by Law 25.

By using the Site, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred internationally as described in this section.

Policy for Children

We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 16. In the United States, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) protects children under 13; GDPR and UK GDPR set the relevant age at 16 (or lower in certain Member States, but no lower than 13). If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child below the applicable age threshold without verified parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from a child, please contact us using the contact information provided below.
