Information automatically collected

In Short: When you use our Services, certain technical and usage information is collected automatically.

3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In Short: We only process your personal information when we have a lawful basis to do so.

If you are located in the EU or UK
Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, we may rely on one or more of these legal bases:

Consent
When you have clearly agreed to a specific use of your information (for example, receiving marketing emails). You may withdraw consent at any time (see Section 10).

Performance of a contract
When processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you (for example, providing Services you have purchased).

Legitimate interests
When processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, and those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. This may include:
  • Analysing use of the Services to improve them
  • Supporting our marketing and promotional activities
  • Understanding engagement with our offerings to improve user experience

Legal obligations
When processing is required to comply with laws, regulations, or legal proceedings.

Vital interests
When processing is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If you are located in Canada
We may process your information with your express or implied consent, depending on context and applicable law. You can withdraw consent at any time (see Section 10).

In some situations, Canadian law may allow us to process personal information without consent, such as when:

  • Processing is clearly in the individual’s interests and consent cannot be obtained in time
  • The information is needed for fraud detection, investigation, or legal proceedings
  • The information is used in the context of certain business transactions, as allowed by law
  • The information is included in a witness statement for insurance claims
  • The information is needed to identify or contact next-of-kin
  • There are reasonable grounds to believe someone is, has been, or may be a victim of financial abuse
  • Seeking consent would compromise availability or accuracy of the information for an investigation
  • Disclosure is required by subpoena, warrant, court order, or similar legal process
  • The information arises in an employment, business, or professional context and is used consistently with that context
  • The information is used solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
  • The information is publicly available as defined by applicable regulations

We may also share de-identified information for research or statistical purposes, subject to appropriate safeguards.


4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In Short: We share information only when necessary, and with specific third parties that help us run our business.
We may share your personal information with:

Vendors, consultants, and service providers
We may work with third parties who perform services on our behalf and require access to personal information to do their work, such as:

  • Data analytics providers
  • Payment processors
  • Sales and email marketing platforms
  • Cloud and hosting providers
  • Website performance and monitoring tools


We require these third parties, by contract, to:
  • Use your personal information only as instructed by us
  • Protect your personal information in line with applicable laws
  • Refrain from selling or using your information for their own independent purposes

Business transfers

If we are involved in a merger, sale of assets, financing, restructuring, acquisition, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that process, where allowed by law. We will take appropriate steps to protect your information.

5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short: Yes, we may use cookies and similar technologies for security, analytics, and marketing purposes.
We may use:
  • Cookies
  • Web beacons
  • Pixels
  • Tags
  • Other similar technologies

These help us:
  • Secure and maintain performance of the Services
  • Remember preferences
  • Analyse traffic and usage
  • Support marketing and advertising (including retargeting or cart reminders, where applicable)

Third-party providers may also use these technologies on our website for analytics and advertising, and may use information to show you more relevant ads.

In some US states, certain uses of tracking technologies can be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. Where applicable, you may have the right to opt out (see Section 12).

If we maintain a separate Cookie Notice on our website, it will provide additional detail about specific cookies and your options for managing them.

Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Services. For more information or to opt out:

Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy



6. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?

In Short: Your personal information may be processed outside your country of residence.
Our servers are located in the United States and Canada, and some of our service providers may be located in other countries. This means your information may be processed in jurisdictions with different data protection laws than those in your home country.

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, this may involve transfers to countries that are not considered to provide the same level of protection. Where required, we use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other legally recognised mechanisms to help protect your information.

Where appropriate, we may provide additional detail about specific safeguards upon request.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information only as long as needed or required by law.
We retain personal information for as long as:

  • It is needed to provide the Services; or
  • It is required for legitimate business purposes (for example, accounting or legal obligations); or
  • It is required or permitted by applicable law.

When we no longer have a legitimate need to process your information, we will delete or anonymise it. If that is not immediately possible (for example, in backup systems), we will securely store and isolate it until deletion is feasible.

8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We use appropriate security measures, but no system is completely secure.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information we process. These may include:
Access controls and authentication
Secure connections (such as HTTPS)
Monitoring for suspicious or malicious activity

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security or that unauthorised parties will never defeat our safeguards.

Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. Where possible, you should use secure networks and devices to access the Services.

9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: Our Services are not directed to children under 18.
We do not knowingly collect or market personal information from children under 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction).
By using the Services, you confirm that:
You are at least 18 (or the legal age of majority in your region); or

You are the parent or legal guardian of a minor using the Services with your consent.

If we become aware that we have collected information from a child without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that data and, if applicable, close the associated account.

If you believe a child’s data may have been collected, please contact us at hello@simplysandrayvonne.ca.

10. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, and to object to some processing.

In certain regions (including the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you may have rights such as:
  • The right to request access to your personal information and receive a copy
  • The right to request correction (rectification) of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • The right to request deletion (erasure) in certain circumstances
  • The right to restrict processing in specific situations
  • The right to data portability, where applicable
  • The right not to be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling, where it has legal or similarly significant effects

If we ever rely solely on automated decision-making in a way that has significant effects on you, we will explain the logic involved and provide a way to request human review.

You may also have the right to object to some processing, especially where it is based on our legitimate interests or used for direct marketing.

We will respond to your request in line with applicable laws.

Complaints to authorities
If you believe we are processing your personal information unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority:

EU authorities: https://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm
UK ICO: https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/data-protection-complaints/data-protection-complaints/
Switzerland (FDPIC): https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html

Withdrawing your consent
When we rely on consent to process your information, you can withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us (see Section 14). This does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before withdrawal.

Opting out of marketing communications
You can opt out of marketing emails by:
  • Clicking “unsubscribe” in any marketing email; or
  • Contacting us at hello@simplysandrayvonne.ca.

We may still send non-marketing emails, such as purchase confirmations or important updates.
Cookies and similar technologies

Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can usually remove or reject cookies through your browser settings. If you choose to disable cookies, some features of the Services may not work as expected.

If you have questions about your rights, email hello@simplysandrayvonne.ca.


11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Some web browsers and mobile operating systems offer a Do-Not-Track (DNT) setting. There is currently no widely accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and we do not respond to DNT signals at this time.
If standards for DNT are adopted in the future and we are required to follow them, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
California law requires us to tell you that, due to the lack of a standard, we do not currently recognise or respond to DNT signals.
