Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 9, 2026

This policy explains what we collect and how we handle it. We follow Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA). By using Components.ca you agree to this policy.

1. What we collect

  • Contact details you provide (such as name, company, email, and phone).
  • RFQ and order details, including the specifications you enter and the drawings or CAD files you upload.
  • Payment information handled by our payment processor. We receive confirmation and order metadata, not your full card number.
  • Basic usage data (such as pages viewed) to operate and improve the site.

2. How we use it

We use your information to prepare quotes, fulfill orders, communicate with you about your requests, operate and secure the platform, and meet legal and accounting obligations.

3. Your drawings are confidential

Uploaded drawings and files are stored privately and are never listed publicly or made browsable. They are accessed only by authorized staff and the manufacturer fulfilling your order, and only to quote and produce your work.

4. When we share information

  • With service providers who help us operate — for example our payment processor, email provider, and cloud hosting/storage — who may only use it to provide those services.
  • With the manufacturer or supplier fulfilling your order, as needed to produce and deliver it.
  • When required by law, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, then delete or de-identify it. We use reasonable safeguards to protect it, including access controls and encrypted connections. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data.

6. Your rights

Under Canadian privacy law you may request access to, or correction of, your personal information, and may withdraw consent (which may limit our ability to serve you). To make a request, contact info@components.ca.

7. Changes and contact

We may update this policy; material changes take effect when posted. For any privacy question or request, contact info@components.ca.
