Privacy Policy

1. About this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how 1867 (“1867,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit shop1867.ca, create an account, shop, apply to become a vendor, or otherwise use our marketplace.

1867 is a marketplace connecting customers with independent Canadian vendors. A vendor may separately handle personal information when fulfilling an order or providing customer service. That vendor’s own privacy practices may also apply.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the marketplace, information may include your name, email address, telephone number, billing or shipping address, postal code, order details, customer-service communications, and information you choose to provide.

For vendor applications and accounts, we may collect a contact name, business name, email address, website, business description, account information, product listings, and information needed to administer the vendor relationship.

When you browse the site, technical information such as device and browser details, log data, and basic usage information may be processed by our website host or service providers. The shopping cart uses browser local storage to remember items you add to your cart.

Payment card details are processed by third-party payment providers such as Stripe. 1867 does not intentionally store full payment card numbers on its own systems.

3. How we use information

We use personal information to operate the marketplace; create and administer accounts; process purchases and payments; communicate order, shipping, account, and service updates; connect customers with the relevant vendor; prevent fraud and misuse; provide support; maintain records; improve site functionality; and meet legal or regulatory obligations.

We may use vendor and product information to display listings and operate marketplace integrations that a vendor chooses to connect.

4. When information is shared

We share information when reasonably necessary to complete the activity you requested. For example, relevant order and delivery details are shared with the vendor responsible for fulfilling your purchase, and payment information is handled by our payment provider.

Information may also be processed by service providers that help us host and operate the website, authenticate accounts, store marketplace data, process payments, or provide vendor-authorized integrations. Those providers may process information in Canada or other countries, subject to their own terms and applicable law.

We may disclose information where required by law, to address fraud or security concerns, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business reorganization or transfer where legally permitted. We do not sell personal information to third parties for their own direct-marketing purposes.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

The marketplace and its service providers may use essential browser storage, cookies, or similar technologies to support functions such as account authentication, cart persistence, security, and site operation. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, although disabling them may affect site functionality.

6. Retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the marketplace, maintain business and transaction records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal requirements. Retention periods vary by the type of information and the reason it was collected.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of online transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Your choices and requests

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or raise a concern about how it is handled. We may need to verify your identity before responding and may be legally required to retain certain records.

You can stop using the marketplace at any time. To make a privacy request, contact 1867 using the customer-support contact information provided on the website or in your order communications, and identify the account or transaction involved. Do not send full payment card details by email.

8. Children

The marketplace is intended for people who can legally enter into transactions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where doing so is prohibited by applicable law.

9. Third-party websites and vendor practices

Product listings, payment flows, and integrations may link to or rely on third-party services. We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third parties. Review their policies where appropriate.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the marketplace or applicable requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the marketplace after an update is subject to applicable law and the updated policy.
