We do not sell your personal information. We may share your personal information with trusted third parties in the following circumstances:

When we transfer personal information to third parties, we take reasonable steps to ensure that they protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws.
7. International transfers
Although BareHome is based in Canada, some of our service providers may be located outside of Canada, including in the United States or other jurisdictions. As a result, personal information may be transferred to and stored in countries other than Canada.
When your personal information is processed outside of Canada, it may be subject to the laws of the foreign jurisdiction, including laws that may permit government and national security authorities to access your personal information in certain circumstances.
Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that your personal information receives a level of protection comparable to that provided under Canadian privacy laws.
8. How we protect your information
We take reasonable physical, organizational, and technical measures to protect personal information in our control from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures may include:
- Using secure servers and encryption technologies where appropriate.
- Restricting access to personal information to employees and service providers who need it to perform their duties.
- Implementing policies and practices to guide the secure handling of personal information.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you share information with us at your own risk. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately using the contact details in this Policy.
9. How long we retain personal information
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and for any additional period that may be required or permitted by law. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the context in which it was collected, but may include:
- Keeping order and transaction records for a period required for accounting, tax, and regulatory purposes.
- Maintaining customer service records for an appropriate time to address follow-up questions or issues.
- Retaining marketing consent records to manage opt-outs and demonstrate compliance with anti-spam laws.
When personal information is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, and there is no legal requirement for us to retain it, we will destroy, delete, or anonymize it using appropriate safeguards.
10. Your rights and choices
Subject to applicable Canadian laws, you may have certain rights and choices with respect to your personal information, including:
- Access: You can request access to the personal information we hold about you, including how it is used and to whom it has been disclosed, subject to limited exceptions.
- Correction: You can request that we correct or update inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated personal information.
- Withdrawal of consent: Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent to our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawing consent may affect our ability to provide certain services to you.
- Marketing communications: You may opt out of receiving marketing emails from us by following the unsubscribe link in the message or contacting us directly. Please note that you may still receive transactional or service-related messages even if you unsubscribe from marketing communications.
- Cookies: You can manage cookies and similar technologies through your browser settings as described above.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact information at the end of this Policy. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request. In some cases, we may not be able to fulfill your request, for example, if it would reveal personal information about another person or if we are legally required to retain certain information.
