Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Goldtide Research collects, how it's used, and the choices you have. We collect only what's needed to process orders and support customers, and we don't sell personal information.
1. Information We Collect
When you place an order or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, shipping address, and phone number. Payment is by Interac e-Transfer sent directly through your own bank — we don't collect or store any banking or card information. We also collect basic site-usage data such as pages visited and browser type, to keep the site working properly.
2. How We Use Information
- To process and ship orders, and to send order-related updates (confirmations, tracking, COA requests).
- To respond to customer service inquiries.
- To maintain batch and compliance records as required for the products we sell.
- To improve the site's performance and content.
3. Cookies & Tracking
This site may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality, such as keeping items in your cart between pages. We don't use third-party advertising trackers.
4. Sharing Information
We share the minimum information necessary with the parties who help us fulfill your order: payment processors, and shipping carriers. We don't sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to keep customer data protected at every step we control.
6. Your Rights
Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
7. Age Restriction
This site is intended for use by individuals 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
