How we use information
We use data to process orders, provide support, prevent fraud, improve reliability, send transactional emails, and comply with law. Marketing emails are sent only with your consent where required.
Lawful bases & governing frameworks
Depending on where you live, different privacy laws apply. We comply with applicable requirements under:
- PIPEDA (Canada) — personal information collected in the course of our commercial activities
- GDPR (European Union, and UK where applicable) — for users in those jurisdictions
- US state privacy laws (including CCPA/CPRA in California) — for residents of applicable US states
Where GDPR applies, we rely on the following lawful bases:
- Contract — accounts, orders, seller payouts
- Legitimate interests — security, fraud prevention, product improvement
- Consent — non-essential cookies and marketing where applicable
- Legal obligation — tax, accounting, regulatory records
Retention
Order and payment records are retained for tax and dispute resolution for up to 2,555 days (~7 years) where required by law. Account data is kept while active and deleted or anonymized after erasure requests, subject to legal holds. Usernames from deleted accounts are quarantined for 14 days before they can be registered again.
International transfers
Service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. We use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
Your rights
You may access, correct, export, or delete account data from Account Settings where available.
Canada: Under PIPEDA, you have the right to access your personal information, challenge its accuracy, and withdraw consent to certain uses (subject to legal or contractual restrictions). Contact [email protected] to exercise these rights.
California and other US states: Residents may exercise additional privacy rights by emailing [email protected].

Seller storefront analytics
Sellers may connect Google Analytics in the Seller Dashboard for their own reporting. Buyer-facing marketplace storefront pages do not load seller Google Analytics scripts by default. If a seller embeds Pagelets on their own website, they are responsible for consent on that site.
