WaarMoto.com Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

WaarMoto is the adventure‑motorcycle brand run by 2592133 Alberta Inc. The policy applies to our website (www.WaarMoto.com) and all related services, including the newsletter, blog, contact forms, and any e‑commerce functions.

2. Personal Information We Collect

We gather only the information needed to provide our services and improve your experience. The categories include:

• Contact information – name, email address, postal address, phone number, collected when you sign up for the newsletter, fill out a contact form, or place an order.
• Account credentials – username and password (stored as a secure hash) when you create an account on our site.
• Payment data – billing address and transaction details (amount, date) processed through a secure payment gateway; we never store credit‑card numbers ourselves.
• Usage data – IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referral URLs, and cookie identifiers captured automatically via server logs and analytics tools.
• Communications – the content of any messages you send us, such as comments, support tickets, or social‑media interactions.
• Marketing preferences – whether you have opted in to receive newsletters, promotional offers, or indicated particular interests in surveys.

3. Why We Use Your Information

• To provide services: process orders, deliver digital products, manage newsletter subscriptions, and respond to inquiries.
• To improve the site: analyze usage patterns, troubleshoot technical issues, and refine navigation and content relevance.
• To send marketing and communications: deliver newsletters, special offers, event announcements, and personalized content you have explicitly chosen to receive.
• To fulfil legal and safety obligations: comply with tax, customs, fraud‑prevention, and other statutory requirements, and enforce our terms of service.

We will not repurpose your personal information for any purpose other than those listed without first obtaining your explicit consent.

4. Disclosure to Third Parties

We may share personal information with the following types of recipients, always under strict contractual safeguards:

•  Service providers such as hosting companies, email‑delivery services, payment processors, and analytics platforms. Their role is limited to performing technical and administrative functions on our behalf, and they are obligated to protect the data and use it only for the services we contract.
• Legal authorities when we are required to comply with a lawful request, subpoena, court order, or when disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or the safety of others.
• Business partners for joint marketing initiatives or co‑hosted events, but only after you have given prior consent.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to unrelated third parties.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Essential cookies enable core website functions such as session management and security. Analytics cookies collect aggregated, non‑identifiable data to help us understand traffic patterns. Marketing cookies remember your preferences for newsletters and targeted communications. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, turning off essential cookies may limit site functionality.

6. Data Retention

Personal information is retained only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above or as required by law. 

Typical retention periods are:

• Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
• Order records are stored for a minimum of seven years to satisfy tax and accounting obligations.
• Aggregated analytics data is retained for up to 24 months.

When the retention period ends, we securely delete or anonymize the information.

7. Security Measures

We employ reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards, including TLS encryption for data in transit, secure hashing for passwords, role‑based access controls limiting employee access to personal data, and regular security assessments. While we strive to protect your information, no internet transmission can be guaranteed 100 % secure.

8. Your Rights

Under PIPEDA and the applicable provincial statutes, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct any inaccuracies or incomplete data.
• Withdraw consent for direct marketing at any time (an unsubscribe link is provided in every email).
• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal exceptions.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 12.

9. Complaints

If you believe we have mishandled your personal information, you may first contact us directly to seek a resolution. If the issue remains unresolved, you may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (www.priv.gc.ca) or the relevant provincial privacy regulator.

10. Updates to This Policy

We review this privacy policy periodically. Any material changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.” Continued use of the website after such changes indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.

11. International Transfers

Our primary operations are based in Canada. If we transfer personal information outside Canada (for example, to a cloud‑service provider), we ensure comparable protection through contractual clauses or recognized adequacy frameworks.
