2. What information we collect

   Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

   • Contact information: Your name, email address, telephone number, and information you include in a message.

   • Newsletter information: Your email address, subscription preferences, consent records, and email engagement information where provided by our email platform.

   • Event information: Registration details and information needed to administer an event.

   • Testimonials: Reviews, quotations, photographs, and other content you voluntarily submit for possible publication.

   • Technical information: Information such as device and browser details, IP address, pages visited, approximate usage information, security logs, and cookie identifiers, where collected by our website platform or enabled third-party tools.

     Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information or confidential information about other people unless it is necessary and appropriate.

   
   

3. How we use your information

   We use personal information to:

   • Respond to questions and inquiries.

   • Manage bookings, sessions, registrations, and customer communications.

   • Process payments and deliver products or services.

   • Send newsletters or marketing messages where permitted by law.

   • Maintain business, transaction, and consent records.

   • Improve our website and services where appropriate.

   • Protect against fraud, misuse, and security incidents.

   • Meet legal obligations and handle disputes.

   • Publish testimonials or promotional content where we have appropriate permission.

     We will not use personal information for a materially different purpose without appropriate notice and consent where required by law.

4. Payments

   Payments may be processed by Stripe or another payment provider identified at checkout.

   The payment provider may collect and process payment information directly under its own terms and privacy policy. We may receive information such as your name, transaction reference, amount, payment status, and contact details so we can confirm your purchase and provide the
   service or product.

   We do not intend to collect or store full payment-card numbers or card security codes through ordinary website forms. We remain responsible for handling the customer and transaction information we control in accordance with applicable law.

   For questions about a transaction, contact teawithstarrlee2026@outlook.com. For information about payment information handled directly by a payment provider, consult that provider’s privacy policy.

   
   

5. Newsletter and marketing emails

   If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your information to send the communications you requested and manage your subscription.

   We will follow applicable Canadian anti-spam requirements, including Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), where it applies. Marketing emails will include an unsubscribe mechanism where required. You can unsubscribe at any time using that mechanism.

   Unsubscribing from marketing does not necessarily stop essential messages about a booking, purchase, or service. We may retain limited information to record your unsubscribe request and prevent further unwanted marketing.

   
   

6. Cookies, analytics, and advertising

   Our website platform and third-party tools may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, security, preferences, analytics, or advertising measurement.

   The specific information collected depends on the tools enabled on our website. Where required, we will provide appropriate notice and choice for non-essential cookies, analytics, and advertising technologies.

   You may also manage cookies through your browser, although disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

7. Who we share information with

   We do not sell personal information for money. We may share information where reasonably necessary to operate our business, provide a service you requested, comply with law, or protect rights and security.

   Depending on the services used, this may include:

   • Website hosting and platform providers, such as Wix if used.

   • Payment processors, such as Stripe if used.

   • Booking, calendar, and event platforms.

   • Newsletter and email delivery providers.

   • Digital-product delivery platforms.

   • Analytics or advertising providers, if enabled.

   • Professional advisers, such as legal or accounting advisers.

   • Authorities or other parties where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

     We aim to share only information reasonably needed for the relevant purpose. Third-party providers may handle information under their own privacy policies and contractual arrangements.

     We will not disclose personal information for a materially different purpose without appropriate notice and consent where required by law.

     
     

8. Where information is processed

   Some service providers may store or process personal information outside Canada. The location depends on the providers and tools used.

   Information processed in another jurisdiction may be subject to that jurisdiction’s laws and lawful access by its courts, regulators, or authorities. We will take reasonable steps to select appropriate providers and protect personal information in accordance with applicable law.

   Before publishing, review the current privacy and data-processing terms of your website host, payment processor, booking platform, newsletter provider, and any analytics or advertising tools.

   
   

9. How long we keep information

   We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, to provide services, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal and tax obligations, resolve disputes, and demonstrate consent or unsubscribe status.

   Different records may need to be kept for different periods. For example:

   • Transaction and accounting records may be retained for the period required by applicable law.

   • Booking and customer records may be retained as needed to administer services and address questions or disputes.

   • Newsletter subscription and unsubscribe records may be retained as needed to honour preferences and demonstrate compliance.

   • Contact inquiries may be retained for a reasonable period to respond and maintain business records.

   • Technical logs and analytics data may be retained according to the settings and retention practices of the relevant provider.

     When information is no longer reasonably required, we will take appropriate steps to delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it, subject to legal obligations and legitimate recordkeeping needs.

     We do not promise a single fixed retention period for every type of information. We will maintain reasonable retention and deletion practices appropriate to the records we hold.

     
     

10. How we protect information

    We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These may include access restrictions, password protection, platform security features, and limiting access to people who need the information for
    legitimate business purposes.

    No online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. If a privacybreach occurs, we will assess it and take the steps required by applicable law, which may include notifying affected individuals or regulators.

11. Your privacy choices and rights

    Subject to applicable law and its exceptions, you may ask to access personal information we hold about you, request corrections, ask questions about our practices, or withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.

    To make a request, contact teawithstarrlee2026@outlook.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

    Withdrawing consent may affect our ability to provide a service if the information is necessary for that service. Withdrawal does not affect processing already lawfully undertaken, and some records may need to be retained to meet legal obligations or resolve disputes.

    You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link provided in the email.

    
    

12. Third-party websites

    Our website may link to external websites or embed content from other platforms. Those third parties may collect information directly from you under their own privacy practices.

    We do not control independent third-party websites. Please review their privacy policies before providing them with personal information.

    
    

13. Children's privacy

    Our website and services are intended for a general professional and adult audience and are not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, contact teawithstarrlee2026@outlook.com so we can assess the situation and take appropriate steps.

    
    

14. Changes to this Policy

    We may update this Policy as our services, website tools, or legal obligations change. We will post the updated Policy with a revised effective date and provide additional notice or seek consent where required by law.

    
    

15. Questions or complaints

    If you have a question or concern about our privacy practices, please contact us first so we can review it.
