Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Sovereignty Trading Post (“STP,” “we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website or purchase our products in Canada.

We strive to comply with applicable Canadian privacy laws, including Québec’s privacy reforms (“Law 25”) and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

1) Personal information we collect

a) Information you provide

• Orders & account: name, billing and shipping address, email, phone, order history, support communications.

• Payments: payment details processed by our payment service providers (we do not store full card numbers).

• Eligibility & compliance (19+ / medical THC): proof of age 19+ and, where required by law, information needed to verify eligibility to purchase medical-THC products.

b) Information collected automatically

• Device & browsing data: IP address, browser and device type, time zone, pages viewed, referring pages/terms, timestamps, cookie IDs, and similar analytics signals.

• Cookies, web beacons, tags & pixels: used for site functionality, security/fraud prevention, analytics, and (if enabled) interest-based marketing. See Section 6 – Cookies & Advertising.

2) How we use personal information

We use your information to:

• Process and fulfill orders (including payment, preparation, shipping via Purolator, confirmations, and invoicing).

• Provide customer support (respond to requests, manage issues/claims).

• Protect our services (security, fraud/risk monitoring).

• Improve our website (aggregated analytics and performance insights).

• Send marketing (if permitted/consented): newsletters, offers, and campaign performance measurement.

We collect, use, and disclose personal information with your consent or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

3) Sharing your information

We share information only as needed with:

• Service providers: carriers (Purolator), payment processors, anti-fraud tools, analytics/measurement, email delivery, hosting/IT.

• Authorities and legal requests: when required by applicable laws, court orders, or to protect our rights and safety.

• Business transactions: in a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards.

We do not sell your personal information.

4) International / cross-border transfers

Some providers may store or access personal information outside Québec or Canada. When we transfer information, we implement reasonable contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards. Note that foreign laws may allow access by foreign authorities.

5) Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above and to meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements. When no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

6) Cookies, analytics, and interest-based advertising

Cookies & similar tech. We use necessary cookies for the site to function, and (if enabled) optional cookies for analytics and personalization/marketing. You can manage cookies in your browser settings; blocking cookies may limit some features.

Analytics. If analytics tools are enabled, they help us understand how visitors use the site (aggregated statistics).

Interest-based ads. If advertising pixels are enabled, partners may use cookies/IDs to show more relevant ads and to measure performance. You can adjust ad preferences via your device/browser settings and industry tools such as AdChoices/DAA.
“Do Not Track.” There is no universally accepted standard for DNT signals; we do not change our practices solely in response to DNT.

(If you’d like, we can name specific analytics/ad partners here once confirmed.)

7) Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, update, withdraw consent (for consent-based uses), and challenge certain processing.

• In Québec, you may also contact the Commission d’accès à l’information (CAI) regarding a concern.

• In Canada generally, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC).

To exercise your rights, email us at info@sovereignty-trading-post.ca

8) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information (access controls, encryption in transit with providers, logging, internal practices). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we aim to reduce risks to a reasonable level.

9) Minors (19+)

Our website and products are not intended for persons under 19. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor provided information to us, contact us to request deletion.
