This Privacy Policy explains how Kris von Kleist collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you visit this website, make a purchase, book a service, register for a workshop, or contact the business.

Canadian privacy law generally requires businesses to be open about how they collect, use, and disclose personal information. PIPEDA includes principles such as accountability, consent, limiting collection, limiting use/disclosure/retention, safeguards, openness, access, and challenging compliance.

1. Information Collected

This website may collect the following information:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number, if provided
  • Billing address
  • Shipping address
  • Order details
  • Payment confirmation details
  • Booking or scheduling information
  • Workshop registration details
  • Messages submitted through contact forms
  • Website usage information, such as pages visited or basic analytics data

For print orders, shipping information is collected so your order can be fulfilled.

For learning services, contact and booking information is collected so your session, workshop, or mentorship service can be delivered.

2. How Information Is Used

Personal information may be used to:

  • Process orders and payments
  • Ship print products
  • Deliver learning services, workshops, or mentorship sessions
  • Send order confirmations and receipts

  • Improve the website, products, and services
  • Meet legal, tax, accounting, or business obligations

3. Payment Information

Payments are processed through secure third-party payment providers. Kris von Kleist does not store full credit card numbers on this website.

Payment processors may collect and process payment information according to their own privacy policies and security practices.

4. Email Marketing

You may have the option to subscribe to email updates, workshop announcements, product news, or creative resources.

Marketing emails will only be sent where permitted and with appropriate consent. Canada’s anti-spam rules require consent for many types of commercial electronic messages, so your checkout and signup forms should keep marketing consent separate from basic order/service emails.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting kris@krisvonkleist.ca.

Transactional emails, such as receipts, booking confirmations, order updates, and service-related messages, may still be sent when necessary.

5. Cookies and Analytics

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to help the website function, remember preferences, process shopping cart activity, understand website traffic, and improve the user experience.

Third-party tools such as Google Analytics, WooCommerce, WordPress plugins, or advertising platforms may collect limited website usage data.

You can adjust cookie settings through your browser.

  • WooCommerce
  • WordPress
  • Stripe
  • PayPal
  • Calendly
  • Google services
  • Email marketing providers
  • Shipping providers
  • Website hosting providers
  • Analytics tools

These providers may process personal information only as needed to provide their services.

7. Sharing of Information

Personal information is not sold.

Information may be shared only when necessary to:

  • Process payments
  • Fulfill and ship orders
  • Schedule services
  • Deliver purchased products or learning services
  • Operate the website
  • Comply with legal, tax, or accounting requirements
  • Protect the security or integrity of the business

8. Storage and Protection

Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

However, no website or online transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Retention of Information

Personal information is kept only as long as necessary for business, customer service, legal, tax, and accounting purposes.

Order and transaction records may be retained for bookkeeping and tax compliance.

10. Accessing or Updating Your Information
