Lakefront Designs operates lakefrontdesigns.ca (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and retain personal information when you visit our Website, place an order, customize a product or contact us.
Lakefront Designs operates from Ontario, Canada. Canadian privacy laws, including PIPEDA where applicable, may govern how we handle personal information. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws.
Information We Collect
When you use our Website or place an order, we may collect information such as your name, email address, contact information, billing and shipping details, account and order information, product selections, customer-service communications and certain technical information related to your use of the Website.
Payment information may be processed directly by a third-party payment provider. Lakefront Designs does not need to store your complete credit-card number to maintain your order record.
Personalized Products
Lakefront Designs creates customized lake-themed artwork and products. To create your design, you may provide information such as:
- lake name and location;
- lake coordinates;
- map or lake outline;
- lake details;
- family name;
- established year;
- compass or design selections;
- custom wording or instructions; and
- uploaded artwork, images or files.
We use this information to create, review, manufacture, fulfil, support or reproduce the product you requested.
Some personalization may relate to a cottage, family property, residence or personally meaningful location. Providing coordinates, family names or similar information for an order does not mean that information will be publicly displayed unless you specifically choose or authorize public display.
How We Use Your Information
We may use personal information to process orders, create customized designs, arrange payment and shipping, communicate with customers, provide support, prevent fraud or misuse, maintain Website security, improve our products and Website, and meet accounting, tax, legal and recordkeeping obligations.
If we offer marketing communications, they will be sent only where permitted by applicable law. You may unsubscribe from promotional communications at any time.
Service Providers
We may use third-party service providers to help operate our Website and business. These may include providers involved in:
- payment processing;
- product production and fulfilment;
- shipping and delivery;
- website hosting and technical services;
- security and backups;
- analytics, where used; and
- customer communications.
We may provide these service providers with information reasonably necessary to perform their services, such as your name, shipping address, order details, product selections or artwork.
These providers have their own privacy practices and may process information according to their own policies and terms.
Cookies
The Website may use cookies necessary for functions such as shopping carts, checkout, customer accounts, preferences and security.
Additional cookies may be used for analytics or other optional Website features where those services are enabled. Where required, you may be given choices concerning non-essential cookies. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
How We Share Information
We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to process, manufacture or deliver an order, operate and protect the Website, prevent fraud or misuse, work with service providers, comply with applicable laws or legal requests, protect our legal rights, or complete a business sale or transfer where permitted by law.
We do not disclose customer personalization information to the public merely because it was submitted as part of an order.
Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate business, accounting, tax, security and legal requirements.
Completed orders may retain historical personalization information such as family names, established years, coordinates, artwork and product selections. This helps us maintain an accurate record of what was ordered and may assist with customer support or reproduction of a previous order.
Temporary customization information may be removed when it is no longer required.
Customization Software Removal
Deactivating customization software may stop customization features and related processes, but it does not automatically erase completed orders or historical personalization.
Removing customization software may delete temporary or operational information associated with that software. Order records needed for fulfilment, support, accounting, legal requirements or historical order accuracy may remain.
Removing customization software is not intended to delete unrelated Website, product, media or customer information.
International Processing
Some service providers that help us operate the Website, process payments, manufacture products or deliver orders may process information outside your province or country.
Information processed in another jurisdiction may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
No website or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access to your personal information, ask us to correct inaccurate information, withdraw consent where applicable, request deletion where legally available, or ask how your information is being used.
Deletion may not be possible where information must reasonably be retained for order history, accounting, taxes, fraud prevention, legal obligations, dispute resolution or another lawful purpose.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under local law.
Children’s Privacy
Our Website and customized products are not directed toward children who are below the applicable age for providing independent consent.
Third-Party Websites
Links to third-party websites or services are governed by those organizations’ own privacy policies. Lakefront Designs is not responsible for their privacy practices.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our Website, services or legal requirements change. The current version will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
