Privacy Policy

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly to us, and information collected automatically when you visit our website.

Information You Provide:

• Your name and contact details (email address, phone number)
• Your home or property address (for garage renovation quotes)
• Details about your garage renovation project, including size, type of work requested, and any photos you choose to share
• Messages or notes submitted through our contact or quote request forms

Information Collected Automatically:

• IP address and approximate geographic location
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 5)

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your quote requests and contact form submissions
• To prepare and deliver accurate renovation project estimates
• To communicate with you about your project, appointments, or orders
• To send you newsletters, product updates, or promotional offers (only if you have opted in)
• To improve our website, products, and customer experience
• To comply with legal obligations applicable to our business in Ontario, Canada
• To process online orders placed through our Shopify-powered store

Important: We will never sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

When you submit a quote or consultation request through our website, we collect the details you provide in order to assess your project and follow up with a personalized estimate.

This information is used solely to evaluate your renovation needs, prepare a quote, and contact you to discuss next steps. Your project details are treated as confidential and are shared only with Mint Garage team members directly involved in preparing or delivering your quote.

By submitting a quote form, you consent to being contacted by a Mint Garage representative via the contact method(s) you provide — typically phone or email — regarding your inquiry.

You may withdraw your consent to be contacted at any time by emailing us at info@mintgarage.ca or calling 1-888-901-6468.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share your information in limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate our website and business (e.g., Shopify for e-commerce, email marketing platforms, analytics tools). These providers are contractually bound to use your data only to provide services to us.
• Business Partners: If your project involves a trusted partner supplier (such as flooring or cabinet manufacturers), only the project-relevant information necessary to fulfill your order will be shared.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or governmental authority, we may disclose your information to comply with applicable legal obligations.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any such change.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze website traffic. Types of cookies we may use include:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the website and shopping cart to function properly.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website (e.g., Google Analytics). This data is aggregated and anonymized.
• Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant ads on platforms like Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and Google, based on your browsing activity.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may impact the functionality of our website. By continuing to use our site, you consent to our use of cookies as described herein.

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law:

• Quote and contact form submissions are retained for up to 3 years to support potential follow-up, project history, and warranty purposes.
• Customer order and transaction records are retained for a minimum period as required by Canadian tax and business laws.

As a resident of Ontario or Canada, you have the following rights under PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) and applicable provincial privacy laws:

• Right to Lodge a Complaint: You may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@mintgarage.ca. We will respond within 30 days.

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. Our website is hosted on Shopify, which employs industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that poses a real risk of significant harm to you, we will notify you and the appropriate regulatory authorities as required by law.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including our partner suppliers and social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, X/Twitter). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit, as we have no control over their privacy practices.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Continued use of our website or services after any changes to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
