Questions or concerns about this Policy and our privacy practices may be sent to [email protected].

2. Personal Information We Collect

Hosting

Canadian Web Hosting provides website-hosting services.

Security and Network Services

Cloudflare is used for website security, network, and performance-related services.

Google Services

We use various Google services, including Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Google Maps API, and Google Cloud services. The types of information processed may vary depending on the specific Google service used and how it is configured. These services may process information such as usage data, device information, location data, and other information necessary to provide their respective functionalities.

Microsoft Services

We use Microsoft Ads and Microsoft Clarity for advertising, measurement, website interaction analytics, and other related functions. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about how visitors interact with our website and help us measure and improve our advertising and website performance.

Advertising and Conversion Tools

We use Meta Pixel and OpenAI Pixel, and may use other marketing platforms, for configured advertising, attribution, campaign measurement, and conversion-related functions.

Payment Services

Payment methods and processors include Square, PayPal, Interac e-Transfer, and Stripe. The applicable provider may receive information needed to process, confirm, refund, or otherwise administer a payment.

Each provider may have its own privacy terms and practices for information it processes in connection with its service.

6. Cookies, Pixels, Tags, and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, and similar technologies in connection with site functions, security, analytics, advertising, mapping, campaign measurement, and conversion measurement. These technologies can collect or generate website and device information such as IP address, browser or device details, page and event information, cookie identifiers, referral information, and advertising or conversion identifiers.

Google Tag Manager can be used to manage website tags. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity can be used for website measurement and interaction analytics. Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta Pixel, OpenAI Pixel, and other marketing platforms can be used for advertising, attribution, campaign measurement, and conversion measurement according to their configuration.

Google Maps API can process information associated with map, address, or location-related website functions when those functions are used. Google Cloud services can process information according to the specific cloud service configured for our business.

Where consent is required by applicable privacy law for a non-essential cookie, pixel, or similar technology, we will seek the required consent. You can also use browser settings and any privacy controls made available on our website to block or remove cookies, subject to the effect those settings can have on site functions.

8. Disclosure of Personal Information

We disclose personal information only for purposes connected with our business and services, with consent where required, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. Disclosures can include:

  • Service providers: hosting, security, cloud, analytics, advertising, mapping, tag-management, payment, communication, and other providers supporting our operations.
  • Delivery service providers: information needed to complete or support an order or delivery.
  • Payment providers: information needed to process, verify, refund, dispute, or administer a payment.
  • Legal and safety matters: information disclosed where required or permitted by law, lawful process, or a lawful request, or where permitted by law to protect rights, property, systems, customers, recipients, or other persons.

We do not state that a provider is permitted to use personal information for its own independent marketing unless that practice has been disclosed and a lawful basis exists.

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.
