Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 24, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Birds Creek Farm Supply ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you visit our websites: birdscreekfarmsupply.ca / birdscreekfarmsupply.com.
Compliance with Canadian Law
This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the federal law governing how private-sector organizations in Canada collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities.
Information We Collect
We collect two types of information on the website:
Non-Personal Information: This includes information that does not identify you personally, such as your browser type, operating system, the referring website (if any), the pages you visit, and general information about your interactions with the website. We collect this information automatically through cookies and similar technologies provided by our website platform.
Cookies: Cookies are small data files that are stored on your device by a website when you visit it. We use cookies to remember your preferences and to track how you use the website. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, doing so may limit your ability to use certain features of the website.
Personal Information
Personal information is defined as information that can be used to identify an individual, such as your name, email address, phone number, or mailing address. We do not currently collect personal information through this website. There are no user accounts, online checkout, or signup forms. If you contact us directly by email or phone, we use the information you provide only to respond to your inquiry. If we begin to collect personal information through the website in the future (e.g., email signup for promotions), we will obtain your explicit consent before doing so and update this policy.
Use of Information
We use the non-personal information we collect to operate and improve the website and to understand how visitors use it. We do not use this information to identify individual visitors.
Third-Party Services and Links
Our website is hosted on Squarespace, which may process visitor data on our behalf in accordance with its own privacy policy. Our website also contains links to external sites and services we do not operate, including Facebook, Google Maps, and the independent local businesses and organizations listed in our Local Services directory. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. We may disclose information if required to do so by law or valid legal process.
Data Retention and Security
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We take reasonable steps to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no website is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your Rights
Under PIPEDA, you have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if it is inaccurate. To make a request, contact us using the information below.
