Who we are

Partsgram ("we," "us," "our") is a Canadian business supplying restaurant equipment parts and custom fabrication services. You can reach us at orders@partsgram.com or [your mailing address].

Information we collect

We collect information you give us directly — name, business name, email, phone number, shipping and billing addresses, payment details, and any information you include when you contact us or request a quote. We also collect information automatically when you use our website, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and how you arrived at our site (referrer).

How we use it

  • Process your orders and communicate about them
  • Review business account applications
  • Respond to quote requests, questions, and support inquiries
  • Improve our website and services
  • Send marketing emails (only if you've opted in — you can unsubscribe anytime)
  • Comply with legal and tax obligations

Who we share it with

We share your information only with the service providers we need to run our business: payment processors (Stripe), shipping carriers (Canada Post, Purolator, freight carriers), email providers, and our hosting provider. We don't sell your personal information. If legally required (court order, tax authority, etc.), we may disclose information to comply.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies for basic functionality (remembering your cart, for example) and analytics (understanding how visitors use the site). You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

Your rights

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

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Withdraw consent for uses beyond fulfilling your order
  • File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe we've mishandled your information

To exercise any of these rights, email orders@partsgram.com.

Data retention

We keep order records as long as required for tax, accounting, and legal purposes — typically at least 7 years. We keep account information as long as your account is active, and delete it on request when the account is closed (subject to retention requirements above).

Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including SSL encryption on our website and tokenized payment processing through Stripe. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect what you share with us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll post the updated version on this page with a new "last updated" date. Material changes will be communicated to account holders by email.
