Privacy Policy.

Effective September 1, 2026

WinPrint is a one-person print studio in Winlaw, British Columbia. We collect the least we can get away with, we do not sell it, and there are no advertising trackers or analytics scripts anywhere on this site. This policy explains what we hold, why, and how to get it back or get rid of it. We handle personal information under PIPEDA and send commercial email under CASL.

What we collect

  • Ordering. Name, email, shipping address, phone number if you give one, and the contents and history of your order.
  • Custom canvas orders. The artwork file you upload, plus the dimensions and options you choose.
  • Draw entries. Your email address, or your Instagram handle where you entered through Instagram, and whether you asked to hear from us again.
  • Auctions. Your bids and a payment card verified for bidding.
  • Email. Your address, the date and wording of your consent, and the date you unsubscribed if you do.

We do not collect card numbers. Stripe does that, and we never see them.

Why we hold it

To make and deliver what you ordered, to answer you when you write, to run the monthly draw and contact the winner, to keep the books the Canada Revenue Agency requires, and — only if you asked for it — to send you the monthly artist email.

We do not use your information to build a profile of you, we do not sell or rent it, and we do not share it with anyone except the service providers listed below.

Who else touches it

  • Stripe — payment processing and card verification. Stripe is the card data handler, not us.
  • Resend — sends our email.
  • Cloudinary — stores and serves artwork and photography.
  • Base44 — hosts the application and its database.
  • HostPapa — domain and mail infrastructure.
  • Shipping carriers — receive your name and address for orders going outside the delivery corridor.

Some of these operate servers outside Canada, which means your information may be stored in or accessed from another country and can be subject to that country's laws.

Email and consent

We only send the monthly email to people who explicitly asked for it. The consent checkbox is never pre-ticked, it is separate from entering the draw, and entering the draw does not sign you up for anything.

The email goes out about once a month: the new featured artist, the new edition, and the new draw. Every one carries a working unsubscribe link that takes one click and no login. You can also just reply and say stop. We keep a record of your address after you unsubscribe for the sole purpose of not emailing you again.

Cookies and tracking

No Google Analytics. No advertising pixels. No third-party trackers. The site stores a small amount of data in your browser to remember your session, your currency, and an in-progress canvas configuration so a refresh does not wipe your work. Clearing your browser storage removes it.

How long we keep it

  • Order, invoice, and payment records: six years, as required for Canadian tax records.
  • Uploaded artwork files: kept while an order is live and for a reasonable period afterwards so reprints are possible. Ask and we will delete yours sooner.
  • Draw entries: through the draw and its close-out, then retained only as an anonymous count.
  • Email consent and unsubscribe records: kept as long as we send email, because CASL requires us to prove consent.

Your rights

Write to ryan@winprint.co and you can ask what we hold about you, get a copy, have it corrected, have it deleted where we are not required to keep it, or withdraw consent to email at any time. One person reads that inbox and you will get a real answer, normally within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with how we handled it, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Children

The store and the draw are for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has given us information, tell us and we will delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update the effective date at the top. If a change is material and affects email we have consent for, we will say so in the email itself.
