Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Hunt Fine Jewelry (“Hunt,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates huntfine.com. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit or shop with us, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.
Who We Are
Hunt Fine Jewelry is a sole proprietorship based in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Our website address is huntfine.com. As a Canadian business, we handle personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
Information We Collect
When you browse our site
Like most websites, our server automatically logs some technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you view. We use this only for basic security and troubleshooting purposes.
When you place an order
To fulfill an order, we collect your name, email address, shipping address, billing address, and phone number (if provided). If you choose to create an account during checkout, this information is stored in your account profile so you don’t need to re-enter it for future orders. If you check out as a guest, this information is stored only as part of your order record.
When you contact us or book a consult
If you reach out through our Contact page, email us directly, or book a free consult, we collect whatever information you choose to share, typically your name, email address, and the details of your inquiry, so we can respond to you.
When you sign up for our newsletter
If you subscribe to our mailing list, we collect your email address for the purpose of sending you updates about new work and studio news. We use EmailOctopus to manage our mailing list (we may transition to a different email service provider in the future). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Process and fulfill your order, including shipping and any necessary follow-up communication
- Respond to questions, consult requests, and customer service inquiries
- Send you marketing emails, only if you’ve opted in to our newsletter
- Improve our website and better understand how visitors use it
- Comply with legal and accounting obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Payment Processing
Payments on this site are processed through WooPayments, which also enables Apple Pay and Google Pay as checkout options. When you make a purchase, your payment details (card number, etc.) are transmitted directly and securely to our payment processor. Hunt Fine Jewelry does not see, collect, or store your full payment card details at any point. Please refer to WooPayments’ own privacy policy for details on how they handle payment data.
Shipping
To deliver your order, we share your name and shipping address with our shipping carriers, primarily Canada Post, and occasionally FedEx. These carriers use this information solely to deliver your package and may provide you with tracking updates directly.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies set by WooCommerce (our online store platform) to keep track of items in your shopping cart and to maintain your session while you browse or check out. These cookies are necessary for the store to function and do not track you across other websites.
If you create a customer account and log in, a cookie will be used to keep you logged in during your visit.
Third-Party Services
Our website relies on a small number of third-party services to function:
- WooPayments (including Apple Pay and Google Pay) — for secure payment processing
- Canada Post and FedEx — for order shipping and delivery
- EmailOctopus — for managing our newsletter mailing list
- Google Fonts — to display the typefaces used on our site; this may involve your browser making a request to Google’s servers
- Hostinger — our web hosting provider, where our site and order data are stored
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data on our behalf.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain order information for as long as necessary to comply with our legal, tax, and accounting obligations. If you have a customer account, you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account information at any time (see below). Newsletter subscriber emails are kept until you unsubscribe.
Your Rights
Under Canadian privacy law, you have the right to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Request a copy of that information
- Request that we correct inaccurate information
- Request that we delete your personal information, except where we’re required to keep it for legal or accounting reasons
- Withdraw consent for marketing emails at any time
To make any of these requests, contact us at the email below. If you have concerns about how we’ve handled your personal information that we haven’t resolved, you have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
If you are located in the European Union or California, you may have additional rights under GDPR or the CCPA respectively; please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time as our business or legal obligations change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
