Data Handling
Privacy Policy
Revised 2026-07-26 · British Columbia, Canada · Built to PIPEDA
The short version
Order-scoped
We hold what moves an order — name, address, email, payment reference — and nothing speculative.
Never sold
No marketing resale, no ad trackers, no behavioural profiling. Your data ends where your order ends.
You direct it
Read it, fix it, or have it erased — one email, answered inside 30 days.
What We Collect
The set is deliberately narrow: only what moves an order to your door and keeps you posted on it.
We never ask what you are researching, where you work, or what the material is for. That stays yours.
What It Is Used For
- Fulfilment
- Clearing payment, packing the order, and arranging domestic transit.
- Order updates
- Confirmations, dispatch notices, and tracking.
- Support
- Answering questions about an order, a verification record, or an account.
- Site upkeep
- Reading usage patterns to sharpen the site.
- Recordkeeping
- Retaining what Canadian law requires us to keep.
- Fraud screening
- Spotting and stopping fraudulent orders or account activity.
Safeguards
- Traffic between your browser and this site travels over SSL/TLS
- Payment data runs through our processor; full card numbers are never written to Valtrax Research servers
- Internal systems talk server-to-server over signed, authenticated API calls
- Order and customer records are reachable only by authorized staff
Retention Windows
- Order records
- Held at least 7 years for tax, accounting, and legal obligations.
- Account data
- Kept while the account is open, plus a reasonable window after closure.
- Support threads
- Retained 2 years past the close of the inquiry.
- Analytics
- Kept only in aggregated, de-identified form.
