Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 2026

At businesscards-printing.ca, operated by Fred Michel Enterprises Inc., we treat your personal information and brand assets with the same level of precision and care that we apply to your print projects. This policy outlines how we collect, protect, and manage your data in our role as your boutique print broker.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us to facilitate our concierge services. This includes:

  • Identity & Contact Data: Name, email address, phone number, and mailing/shipping addresses.

  • Project Assets: Graphic design files, logos, and artwork uploaded for print production or preflight validation.

  • Transaction Data: Details about quotes requested and services purchased. (Note: We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers; payments are processed via secure, encrypted third-party providers).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to deliver a seamless brokerage experience:

  • Consultation: To provide expert advice on paper stocks and finishes based on your inquiries.

  • Order Fulfillment: To coordinate with our vetted production partners to manufacture and ship your products.

  • Communications: To send project updates, digital proofs, and—with your explicit consent—occasional boutique brand insights or offers.

3. Data Sharing & Third-Party Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. To fulfill our service promise, we share data only with:

  • Vetted Production Partners: We share only the artwork and shipping details necessary to manufacture and deliver your order.

  • Service Providers: This includes secure platforms such as HubSpot (CRM), our hosting providers, and payment processors. These parties are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential.

  • Storage: Your data may be processed and stored in Canada or the United States, subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.
