It also details the steps we have taken to secure your personal information, and your options regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information. By visiting the Site directly or through another site, you accept the practices described in this Policy.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Site. It does not necessarily apply to any offline collection of your personal information; see below for details.

1. Information collection
We collect information from you in several different ways on this Site, with the goal of providing an efficient, meaningful, and customized experience. For example, we can use your personal information to help make the Site easier to use, help you quickly find information, products, and services, create content relevant to you, and alert you to new information, products, and services we offer.
(a) Registration and ordering. Before using certain parts of the Site or ordering products, you may complete an online form. You will be prompted to provide certain personal information, including but not limited to your name, shipping and billing address(es), phone number, email address, and payment information. We may also ask for your country of residence or your organization's country of operation for compliance purposes. This information is used for billing, fulfilling orders, communication about your order, and internal marketing. If we encounter an issue processing your order, we may use your information to contact you.
(b) Email addresses. You may enter your email address to sign up for newsletters or request notifications about products. You can unsubscribe at any time.
(c) Cookies and other technology. Like many sites, we employ cookies and web beacons to enhance the user experience, recognize access privileges, and track usage. Cookies are small files stored on your computer. Most browsers accept cookies by default; if you disable them, certain features of the Site may not function correctly. Third-party providers may use cookies and web beacons to serve and measure content, without linking this data to personally identifiable information collected by us.
(d) Log files. The Site server automatically records your IP address, service provider, and date and time stamps. This data is used for system administration, order verification, and internal analytics.
(e) Age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not submit any personal information to us.
(f) Product reviews. If you submit a product review, we may ask for your email address and geographic location. Your location may be visible to other users; your email address remains private.
2. Information use and disclosure
(a) Internal use. We use your personal information to process your order and provide customer service. It may also be used to improve the Site, our marketing efforts, and general market research.
(b) Communications with you. We use your personal information to communicate with you regarding the Site, orders, and deliveries. You may receive promotional emails only if you opt in, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
(c) External use. We do not sell, rent, trade, or license your personal or financial information to third parties, except as follows: we may share information with affiliates under GDF Technologies inc.'s control; we use third parties for shipping (for example FedEx, UPS, Purolator) and payment processing, and these providers receive only the personal information necessary to complete the transaction; we may disclose information if required by law, court order, or legal process; if we merge with, acquire, or are acquired by another company, your personal information may be transferred subject to this Privacy Policy; and we may share aggregate, non-personal information for analytics purposes.
Data security
We implement physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to secure personal information, including encryption (TLS) for transactions processed through the Shopify platform. Payment card data is processed by the payment provider and is not stored on our systems. While we use industry-standard precautions, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
