Welcome to Kathrin's Books ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website [www.kathrinsbooks.com], including any other media form, media channel, mobile website, or mobile application related or connected thereto (collectively, the "Site"). We are based in Alberta, Canada, and ship orders to customers in Canada and the United States.
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Site, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, when you participate in activities on the Site, or otherwise when you contact us. This includes your name, email address, shipping and billing address, and order history.
We may use your personal information for legitimate business purposes, including to fulfill and ship your orders, provide and improve our services, communicate with you about your account or orders, and comply with our legal obligations. We keep personal information only for as long as needed for these purposes, or as required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
We only send marketing or newsletter emails to customers who have given consent, consistent with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and, for customers in the United States, the CAN-SPAM Act. Every marketing email includes our contact information and a working unsubscribe link. Order confirmations and shipping updates are transactional messages and are sent regardless of marketing consent.
We share your information with third-party service providers that perform services on our behalf, namely:
Some of these providers store or process data on servers located outside of Canada, including in the United States. By using the Site, you consent to this transfer and processing of your information outside of Canada.
Transactions are processed through Stripe. Your payment information is transmitted directly to Stripe and is subject to their Privacy Policy.
In accordance with Canadian privacy laws (including PIPEDA and, where applicable, provincial legislation such as Alberta's PIPA or Quebec's Law 25), you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the contact information provided below. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Site and, with your consent, to understand how visitors use the Site (for example, analytics). You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using our cookie consent banner or your browser settings.
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
