How We Protect Your Personal Data

We currently use a third-party provider (Lightspeed) to provide the infrastructure for our ecommerce site and for our in-store retail Point of Sale (POS). Lightspeed also provides us our payment services which are integrated into our ecommerce site. Lightspeed is a public company headquartered in Canada. Our ecommerce site and retail POS both rely on security measures designed and monitored by Lightspeed. For more information on Lightspeed data privacy measures please refer to: Lightspeed Privacy Policy

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The Internet, in general, can be insecure at times and, therefore, we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

International Data Transfers

Lightspeed currently provides the infrastructure for our website.  We have no control over their infrastructure.  Lightspeed is headquartered in Canada.

When we transfer user personal data, we will protect that data as described in this Privacy Policy and comply with applicable legal requirements for transferring personal data internationally.
