Privacy
Your information, handled plainly.
We collect as little as we can to run the store, we tell you exactly who helps us do it, and nothing tracks you until you say yes.
What we collect, and why
To take an order we need the basics: your name, email, delivery or pickup details, and what you bought. To take a payment we hand card entry to Square — the full card number never touches our systems. If you subscribe, Square keeps your card on file so we can charge each renewal; you can remove it any time. That is the whole of it — we do not sell your information, and we do not collect it to build a profile of you.
The services that help us run the store
A small farm store leans on a few trusted providers. Each one receives only what it needs to do its job, and nothing more:
Square
Payments & card-on-file for subscriptions
Card details (tokenized — we never see or store the full number), amount, and the email/name on the order.
Flagship
Shipping labels & delivery
The delivery name, address, and phone number needed to get a box to your door.
Klaviyo
Order emails & (opt-in) updates
Email, name, and order events. Marketing emails are sent only with your CASL consent; order confirmations are transactional.
Anthropic
The “Ask the farm” assistant
The text of the question you type into the assistant. We do not send your account or order identity with it.
Voyage
Search behind the assistant
The question text, turned into a numerical search vector to find the right passage in our own farm knowledge base.
Where these providers offer Canadian or regional data handling, we use it. We keep this list current as the store changes.
Analytics & cookies
Analytics are off by default. When you first visit, nothing that tracks you loads — no analytics cookie is set and no data is sent — until you choose “Accept” on the cookie banner. Choose “Decline” and nothing loads at all. You can clear your choice from your browser to be asked again. The only cookies set before you decide are the ones strictly needed to keep your cart and session working.
Your rights
We handle personal information in line with Canada’s PIPEDA, and we send marketing email only with your consent under CASL — order confirmations and account notices are transactional and always sent. You can ask us to show you what we hold, correct it, or delete it, and you can unsubscribe from marketing at any time from any email or by contacting us. We will help with any of these directly.
