9. Processing Outside Canada
Our website-hosting provider is Canadian Web Hosting. Some other service providers named in this Policy operate internationally. Depending on a provider's infrastructure and the service configuration, personal information can be processed or stored outside Canada.
When information is processed in another jurisdiction, it can be subject to the laws and lawful-access rules of that jurisdiction. We do not represent that all personal information remains in Canada solely because our website-hosting provider is Canadian.
10. Retention and Disposal
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, and for any additional period required or permitted for legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, dispute, consent-record, or other legitimate record-keeping purposes.
Retention periods can differ by record type and purpose. When personal information is no longer required, it is deleted, destroyed, or de-identified as appropriate, subject to technical, legal, and record-keeping requirements.
11. Safeguards and Privacy Breaches
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards suited to the sensitivity, amount, format, use, and storage of personal information under our control. Our website uses Cloudflare for security and related network services, and payment information is handled through the payment services described above.
No website, Internet transmission, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If a breach of security safeguards occurs, we will assess the incident and take the steps required by applicable privacy law, including record keeping, notice, or reporting where those duties apply.
12. Access, Correction, Consent Withdrawal, and Complaints
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information we hold about you, ask how it has been used or disclosed, request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, withdraw consent where withdrawal is available, or raise a concern about our privacy practices.
- We may request information needed to verify your identity before responding to a privacy request.
- Access can be limited or refused where applicable law requires or permits this.
- Where a correction request is supported, we will address inaccurate or incomplete information as required by law.
- Requests and complaints may be sent to [email protected].
If PIPEDA applies to the matter and you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca.
13. Personal Information Concerning Minors
Where personal information relating to a minor is provided in connection with an order, delivery, communication, or other interaction with us, we will handle that information according to applicable privacy law, taking into account the sensitivity of the information and the circumstances of collection, use, or disclosure. Where consent from a parent, guardian, or other authorized person is legally required, we will obtain the required consent.
14. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website can contain links, embedded content, payment interfaces, maps, or other services provided by third parties. When you interact directly with a third-party service, that provider can process information under its own terms and privacy practices. This Policy governs personal information under Making Dream Bloom Inc.'s control and does not replace the privacy terms of an independent third party.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may amend this Policy when our practices, website functions, providers, or legal duties change. A revised Policy will be posted on our website.
If a change involves a new collection, use, or disclosure for which fresh consent is required by applicable law, we will seek that consent rather than treating continued website use as consent to the new purpose.
