Pages you need

  • Privacy policy
  • Terms of sale
  • Shipping and returns policy

Privacy

You fall under Canada's privacy law, PIPEDA. Customer data needs care, so:

  • Collect only what you need.
  • Never share it with advertising networks.
  • Say clearly in your policy what you keep and for how long.

Marketing email

Canada's anti-spam law, CASL, requires clear consent and an unsubscribe link in every marketing email.

Consumer rules

Nunavut's Consumer Protection Act covers some consumer contracts but has no rules written for online sales. Check the current requirements with the Government of Nunavut or a lawyer before you publish your terms of sale.
