Privacy policy
Last updated: September 15, 2025
At Lief & Co., your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we may share it, and what rights you have. Because our store is powered by Shopify, some of your data is also processed by them.
By using our website and services (the “Services”), you agree to this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information when you shop with us, use our site, or contact us. This may include:

-
Payment details: credit/debit card info (processed securely by Shopify or payment providers).
-
Account details: username, password, preferences.
-
Order & transaction info: products viewed, purchased, returned, or cancelled.
-
Communications: emails or messages you send us.
-
Device & usage info: IP address, browser, device type, how you use our site.
We may collect this information directly from you, automatically through cookies, from service providers (like shipping partners), or from Shopify.

Payment providers & shipping carriers (to process payments and deliver orders).
-
Marketing & analytics partners (to improve our advertising, where permitted by law).

Legal authorities (if required by law).

Keep items in your cart.

You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features may not work properly.
5. Data Retention & Security
-
We keep your personal information as long as needed to provide services, meet legal requirements, or resolve disputes.

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your data, but no system is 100% secure.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
-
Access or request a copy of your personal information.

7. International Data Transfers
Since Shopify’s servers and partners may be outside Canada, your information may be processed in other countries. Shopify uses legal safeguards (like Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your data when it’s transferred internationally.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under the age of majority. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us to have it removed.
