We never see your card details. Payment goes through Stripe; card numbers never reach our servers.
We do not use advertising cookies, we run no third-party analytics, and we do not track you across other sites. The site sets two cookies: one to keep you signed in, one to remember your language.
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We do not share it with anyone except:
We only send commercial messages to people who explicitly ticked the box. It was never pre-ticked. Every message identifies us and carries an unsubscribe link that works in one click.
Under Law 25 you may, at any time:
Write to contact@macrogold.ca. We answer within 30 days, as the law requires.
Data is stored in an encrypted-in-transit database on a server we control. Passwords are hashed, never stored in clear text. Backups are verified automatically and kept for one year.
Servers are located in North America. Stripe may process payment data outside Canada, under its own terms.
If a confidentiality incident presents a risk of serious harm, we will notify the affected people and the Commission d'accès à l'information, as Law 25 requires.
We will announce any substantial change by email at least 30 days before it takes effect.
