We value your trust and share your information only in limited circumstances:
Service Providers: With trusted third-party companies who perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processors like Stripe/PayPal, shipping carriers like Canada Post/Canpar, email service providers like Mailchimp).

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We use secure connections (HTTPS) for data transmission. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
