Privacy.
Last updated 18 May 2026
Plain English version of what I do with your information. I'm a one-person seed-saving operation in Calgary, not an ad network. The short version is: I collect what I need to ship your seeds and nothing else.
What I collect
When you place an order I collect:
- Your name and email so I can confirm your order and tell you when it ships.
- Your mailing address so I can post it.
- Your order details (which seeds, how many) so I can pack the right packets.
Payment information goes directly to Stripe or PayPal. I never see or store your full card number. Stripe and PayPal each have their own privacy policies that govern what they do with it: Stripe, PayPal.
If you upvote a variety on the Next harvest page, I record an anonymous vote, with no identifying information attached. If you submit your email to be notified when a variety is available, I store just your email and which variety you're waiting on.
Why I collect it
- To pack and ship your seeds.
- To email you when I receive your order, and again when I post it.
- To email you when a variety you signed up for becomes available.
- To keep records the Canada Revenue Agency legally requires me to hold on to for six years.
Who I share it with
- Stripe and PayPal, for payment processing only.
- Canada Post, when I post your envelope.
- Google, because order details land in a private Google Sheet I use as my fulfillment notebook.
I don't sell, rent, or share your data with anyone else. No advertisers, no marketing lists.
Cookies and tracking
This site has no analytics, no third-party trackers, no advertising cookies. The only browser storage I use is on your own device, to remember your shopping cart between page loads and to remember which varieties you've upvoted on Next harvest. None of that leaves your browser.
Your rights
Under PIPEDA, Canada's federal privacy law, you can ask me to:
- Show you what data I have about you.
- Correct anything that's wrong.
- Delete your data, except where I'm legally required to keep it (tax records).
Email peppers@mightseeds.ca with "Privacy" in the subject. I'll respond within 30 days as required.
Changes
If I update this policy, the "Last updated" date at the top changes. Material changes will be communicated by email to anyone with an active order or subscription.
