Intruduction
At Bric a Brac Montroyal, we are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting the information you share with us when exploring our Montreal bric-a-brac shop, reading our blog, or browsing vintage and secondhand treasures. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information, whether you are shopping in person, browsing our website, or interacting with our community online.
We encourage you to read this policy carefully to understand how your data is managed. Our aim is transparency and trust, so you feel confident enjoying everything our Mont-Royal thrift store and vintage shop has to offer.
Information We Collect
When you visit our website or connect with us online, we may collect certain personal information to enhance your experience and provide the best possible service. This includes your name, email address, and any information you voluntarily provide through contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, or online event registrations. For example, if you request updates about new arrivals or participate in a blog comment section, we may collect your contact details and preferences.
In addition to personal information, we automatically collect non-personal data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior on our site. This information helps us understand how visitors interact with content about vintage shopping, antiques Montreal, and bric a brac shopping on Mont-Royal, so we can improve our website and services.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information primarily to communicate with you, respond to your inquiries, and deliver the information or services you request—such as updates about vintage shop Mont-Royal, secondhand store events, or special sales at our Montreal bric-a-brac location. Your email address may be used to send newsletters or occasional updates if you opt-in to receive them, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
Non-personal data, such as website analytics, helps us improve the user experience. We analyze which blog articles are most popular, what search terms bring visitors to our secondhand shop Mont-Royal site, and which products or event listings generate the most interest. This insight allows us to better serve the local vintage and antiques community.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Your personal information is treated with care and will never be sold or rented to third parties for marketing purposes. We only share your data with trusted partners or service providers who help us operate our website, process event registrations, or deliver email newsletters. These third parties are contractually obligated to keep your data confidential and to use it only as needed to fulfill their services.
In rare cases, we may disclose your information if required by law, such as in response to a legal request or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our shop, our community, or our visitors. Should we ever participate in a merger or business transition, user information may be transferred as part of the assets, but you would be notified in advance.
Data Security
We take your privacy seriously and employ industry-standard measures to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure. All personal information you provide is stored on secure servers and accessed only by authorized staff or partners who need it to perform their duties.
Despite our best efforts, no online data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We encourage you to take appropriate precautions, such as choosing strong passwords and being cautious about what information you share online.
Your Rights and Choices
As a visitor, you have the right to access, update, or request deletion of your personal information. If you would like to know what information we have on file or wish to correct, update, or erase your data, please contact us using the information provided below. We strive to honor your requests promptly and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
If you have subscribed to our newsletter or other communications, you may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions in our emails. We respect your preferences and will promptly remove you from our mailing list if requested.
