3. Service Providers and Third Parties
Pooch & Tabby uses third-party services to operate our website, process orders, process payments, analyze website activity, and ship products.
Depending on the service and your order, personal information may be shared with or processed by service providers such as:
Wix
Our website is hosted and operated using Wix. Wix provides website hosting, ecommerce functionality, data storage and other services necessary to operate our website.
Wix may collect and process information about visitors and customers in accordance with its own privacy practices. Wix may also use cookies and similar technologies as part of its services.
Payment providers
Payments are processed through payment services available through Wix, including Wix Payments and other payment methods offered at checkout.
These providers process payment information in order to authorize and complete transactions. Pooch & Tabby does not receive customers' full payment card numbers.
Shipping providers
When an order is shipped, we may provide the information necessary for delivery to the applicable shipping provider.
Depending on the shipping service selected, this may include your name, shipping address, telephone number and email address.
We may use services including Chit Chats, eShipper and Canada Post, as well as other carriers where appropriate.
When using Chit Chats or eShipper, shipping information may be entered or transferred to the service as necessary to create and manage a shipping label and fulfill the order.
Google services
Our website may use Google services, including Google Analytics and Google Merchant Center or related Google services.
These services may collect or process information about website visitors, products, website activity or interactions depending on the features currently in use.
Google services have their own privacy practices and may process information according to their respective policies.
Legal and regulatory purposes
We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, legal processes or lawful requests, or to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.
We may also disclose information where necessary to prevent fraud, unauthorized transactions, security incidents or other misuse of our website or services.
4. International and Cross-Border Processing
Some of the service providers we use may store or process personal information outside Canada.
When personal information is transferred to a service provider outside Canada, it may be subject to the laws of the country where the information is processed. This may include access by courts, law enforcement or government authorities in accordance with applicable laws.
Pooch & Tabby remains responsible for personal information under our control and takes reasonable steps to use service providers that provide appropriate safeguards for the information they process on our behalf.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functions, maintain security and stability, remember certain settings, understand website usage, and support other website features.
Wix and third-party services or integrations may place cookies or use similar technologies on our website. The specific cookies in use may change as website features and services change.
Our website provides a cookie consent banner that allows visitors to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking or declining certain cookies may affect how some website features function.
For more detailed information about the cookies currently used on our website, please see our cookie information.
Wix notes that third-party apps and integrations can introduce additional cookies beyond Wix's own essential cookies.
6. Marketing Communications
Pooch & Tabby may occasionally send promotional or marketing emails to customers or subscribers who have provided the appropriate consent or where another form of consent permitted by applicable law applies.
Marketing emails may include information about new products, promotions, sales, seasonal collections or other Pooch & Tabby news.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the message or by contacting us directly.
Transactional and service-related communications, such as order confirmations, shipping information and responses to customer inquiries, are not marketing communications and may still be sent when necessary to provide the service you requested.
Pooch & Tabby follows applicable requirements for commercial electronic messages, including Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). Commercial marketing messages must include the required sender identification and an unsubscribe mechanism, and consent requirements apply.
7. Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including fulfilling orders, maintaining business and transaction records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, complying with legal and accounting obligations, and enforcing our agreements.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
When personal information is no longer required for a legitimate business or legal purpose, we take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy or anonymize it, as appropriate.
8. Protecting Your Information
Pooch & Tabby takes reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold to protect it against unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, theft, copying, use or modification.
Access to customer information is limited to what is reasonably necessary for operating the business and fulfilling orders.
However, no method of storing or transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or through our website.
PIPEDA requires organizations to use safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of personal information rather than prescribing one specific security technology or method.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:
-
Request access to the personal information we hold about you
-
Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
-
Ask questions about how your information is collected, used or disclosed
-
Withdraw consent to certain uses of your information, subject to legal or contractual limitations
-
Request deletion of information where appropriate
A request to delete information does not necessarily mean that we can immediately remove every record. We may need to retain certain information to fulfill legal, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution or other legitimate obligations.
Under PIPEDA, individuals generally have the right to access personal information held about them and to challenge its accuracy and completeness.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for the purpose of operating our business or sending them marketing communications.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate steps.
11. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including social media platforms, payment services, shipping providers and other external websites.
