We may share information with:

  • Wix, which hosts the website and provides contact-form and analytics features

  • Mailchimp, if/when newsletter delivery is moved there

We do not sell personal information.

6. International Transfers

Wix and Mailchimp may process data outside Canada.


We rely on their privacy and security safeguards to protect your information when processed internationally.

Typical retention periods:

  • Newsletter email addresses: until you unsubscribe or request deletion

  • Contact form submissions: up to 1 year, unless needed longer for business or legal reasons

You may request deletion at any time.
