Privacy policy

Thank you for visiting The Boutique at Seneca College website (the “Site”). Your privacy and the security of your personal information are important to us. Please read this privacy policy to ensure your understanding of our information practices. By using the Site, you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy. These practices may be changed, but any changes will be posted and changes will only apply to activities and information on a go-forward basis. You are encouraged to review the privacy policy periodically to make sure that you understand how your personal information will be collected and used.

Collection of Information

We collect personally identifiable information, such as name, postal address, email address, telephone number, etc., when voluntarily submitted by our visitors for the purpose of making a purchase, sending an order, or subscribing to our newsletter. The information you provide is used to fulfill your specific request and to contact you to ensure your satisfaction with the use of our website and products.

In the event you order an item to send as a gift to another person, we will collect the information required to process the order. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected about other people may include: the recipient’s name, address, e-mail address or telephone number.

Additional Use Information

We may also use information, unless you tell us not to, in order to provide you with information about our merchandise, sales or other offerings, and other marketing materials designed to help you use the Site more efficiently. Information may also be used as required for tracking/verifying compliance with provincial, federal and local laws, and in response to legal claims.

Disclosure of Information

Information is shared with limited third party service providers to support our operations or business activities, such as a courier. These service providers may transmit, store, analyze, or otherwise use such information in connection with their services to us.

In addition, Seneca uses a third party “Lightspeed” for the provision of our eCommerce platform and to facilitate our point of sale services. Lightspeed is held contractually responsible for processing information on behalf of Seneca, and only for purposes approved by Seneca. Like Seneca, Lightspeed maintains appropriate technical and organization measures to protect information from unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, theft, alteration or disclosure.

We may share information with agencies or other companies assisting us in fraud prevention or investigation. We may do so when: (1) permitted or required by law; or, (2) trying to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud or unauthorized transactions; or, (3) investigating fraud which has already taken place.

The information is not provided to these companies for marketing purposes.

Commitment to Data Security

Your personally identifiable information is kept secure. Only authorized employees, agents and contractors (who have agreed to keep information secure and confidential) have access to this information.  Seneca has taken reasonable measures to protect your information, which includes, but is not limited to use of encryption, physical and environmental security controls, access controls, and intrusion detection and prevention monitoring. 

All credit card information you provide as payment is collected through our third party payment processor Stripe. You can visit Stripe’s website and learn about their privacy practices and how they securely process online payment transactions.
