When you browse our website, we automatically collect your IP address, browser type and version, device type, the pages you visit, how long you spend on them, the link or search that brought you to us, and cookie identifiers.

We do not store your full payment card details. Card payments are processed by Stripe, and your card information is transmitted directly to them over an encrypted connection.

Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small files placed on your device. We use strictly necessary cookies to keep your shopping cart working, keep you signed in, and secure checkout. The website cannot function without these.

We also use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our website so that we can improve it. We do not currently run advertising or remarketing tags.

We display a cookie consent banner when you first visit, and you can manage your preferences there. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, though blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent checkout from working.

  • Our third-party delivery companies and shipping carriers, to deliver your order
  • BigCommerce, the platform that hosts this online store
  • Google Analytics, as described above
  • Professional advisers such as accountants and lawyers, where necessary
  • Government or law enforcement bodies, where we are legally required to do so

JM Appliances does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Where your information is stored

Some of our service providers, including BigCommerce and Stripe, may store or process data outside Canada, including in the United States. Information stored in another country may be accessible to that country's authorities under its laws.

How long we keep your information

  • Order and transaction records: 7 years, to meet Canadian tax and accounting requirements
  • Marketing contact details: until you unsubscribe
  • Website analytics data: 14 months

Security

This website uses SSL encryption. Payment pages, account pages and checkout are encrypted in transit. We restrict access to personal information to staff who need it to do their job.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Under Canadian privacy law you have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete, to withdraw consent to marketing at any time, to ask us to delete information we no longer need, and to make a complaint about how we have handled your information.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@jmappliances.ca. We will respond within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca.
