We are committed to maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality, and security of your personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). As part of this commitment, our privacy policy governs our actions as they relate to the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information. Our privacy policy is based upon the values set by the Canadian Standards Association’s Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information and Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.
As permissible by law, Shelmerdine Garden Center reserves the right to make changes in this Privacy Policy. If changes are made, updates will be reflected by the Last Updated date at the top of this Privacy Policy. These changes will take effect immediately upon posting.

We may supplement the information we collect with outside records from external parties. We may combine the information we receive from those other outside sources with information we collect through our website. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information.
