Privacy Policy

So you’re worried about your privacy on the internet – and this will somehow make you feel all better.

Our website uses cookies to help provide the best experience on our website.  If you don’t know what cookies are then search them on the internet, but make sure you read your search engine’s privacy policy first ;).

We don’t have time to spend mining your data, and we’re not big enough that anyone would want to buy our info.  Even if we were, we wouldn’t sell you out.

We are committed to ensuring compliance with the federal Personal Information
Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Personal information is information that can identify an individual. This information can include, but is not limited to, name, address, date of birth, identifying numbers. We may also collect information during and after the extension of credit as is provided for in our credit agreements or by law.  We need to collect personal information for a variety of reasons including sales, shipping, our e-mail newsletter, providing additional information, quotes for repairs or rentals, regulatory requirements and entering a customer into a contest or competition.

If you have opted-in to receive our e-mail newsletter, we may send you periodic e-mails. If you would no longer like to receive promotional e-mail from us there is a link to allow you to opt-out.

We have always maintained a policy of ensuring the accuracy, confidentiality and integrity of personal information.

We will not require more information than is necessary to provide the goods or services required.

Our payment processor will require personal information to process your payment, such as name, address, phone numbers, credit card numbers and other identifying numbers.  We do not have access to that information.
