1. Who We Are
All. (operated as alldot.shop) is a Canadian online shopping comparison service. When we say "All.", "we", "us", or "our" in this Privacy Policy, we mean the operator of alldot.shop.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our website at alldot.shop and any subdomains thereof.
This policy is written in compliance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation.
2. What Information We Collect
2.1 Information you provide directly
- Contact form submissions: Name, email address, and message content when you contact us through our Contact page.
- Search queries: The text you type into our search bar. These are used only to perform your search and are not linked to your identity.
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Server logs: Standard web server logs including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. Logs are kept for security and diagnostic purposes and are not used for tracking individuals.
- Cookies: See Section 5 below.
2.3 Information we do NOT collect
- We do not collect payment card numbers or financial account information (purchases happen on eBay, not on our site).
- We do not require you to create an account or log in to use our service.
- We do not collect your physical address, phone number, or any government identification numbers.
- We do not collect sensitive personal information (health, religion, ethnicity, political views, sexual orientation).
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide our service: Processing your product searches and displaying results.
- To respond to contact form inquiries: If you contact us, we use your name and email to reply.
- To maintain and improve the site: Server logs help us diagnose errors and improve performance.
- For security: To detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive use of our service.
- Legal compliance: To meet our obligations under applicable Canadian law.
We do not use your information to build advertising profiles, sell to marketers, or send unsolicited commercial email.
4. Who We Share Information With
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: We use third-party services to operate the site (including our web host). These providers have access to technical data only to the extent required to perform their services and are contractually obligated to protect it.
- eBay and affiliate networks: When you click a product link and are redirected to eBay, eBay's privacy policy governs the information you provide there. We transmit an affiliate tag so we receive credit for the referral — this does not include your personal information.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by a valid legal process (court order, government authority) under Canadian law.
- Business transfer: In the unlikely event of a sale or merger, user data would be subject to a privacy notice before any transfer.
5. Cookies and Tracking
We use the following cookies on alldot.shop:
- Essential cookies: Required for the site to function. These cannot be disabled without breaking the site. They do not store personal information.
- Skimlinks (third party): We use Skimlinks, an affiliate marketing service that automatically converts some links into tracked affiliate links. Skimlinks may set cookies to track conversions. See Skimlinks Privacy Policy.
- eBay Partner Network: When you click through to eBay, eBay's affiliate tracking sets cookies. See eBay Privacy Policy.
We do not use advertising cookies, Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, or other marketing trackers.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of this site.
6. Affiliate Links and Third Parties
All. participates in the eBay Partner Network (EPN) and uses Skimlinks for affiliate link management. This means that when you click a product link and subsequently make a purchase, we may receive a commission from eBay. This commission is paid by the seller/marketplace and does not increase the price you pay.
When you follow a link to eBay.ca or another retailer, you leave our site and that retailer's privacy policy applies to any information you provide them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites.
Our affiliate relationships do not influence which products appear in search results or in what order. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.
7. How Long We Keep Your Data
- Contact form messages: Retained for up to 2 years after your last interaction, then deleted.
- Server logs: Retained for 90 days, then automatically purged.
- Search queries: Not stored beyond your session.
8. Your Rights Under Canadian Law
Under PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy laws, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Right of access: You may request to see what personal information we hold about you.
- Right of correction: You may request that inaccurate information be corrected.
- Right of withdrawal of consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time (though this may affect your ability to use the service).
- Right to complain: You may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) at priv.gc.ca or by calling 1-800-282-1376.
- Quebec residents (Law 25): Quebec residents have additional rights under Loi 25 (Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector), including the right to data portability and the right to be de-indexed.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at: [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days as required by law.
9. Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
10. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include HTTPS encryption for all traffic, restricted access to server logs, and regular security reviews.
However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
