At Eric Roy, we are dedicated to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a transparent and secure manner. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information in compliance with Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
Comments
When users post comments on our site, we gather the information displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection purposes.
An anonymized string created from your email address (commonly referred to as a hash) might be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are utilizing it. The privacy policy for the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly alongside your comment.
Collection of Personal Information
We may collect personal information about you when you interact with our site, such as your name, email address, phone number, and any other information you provide. We will only collect personal information that is necessary for the purposes identified in this policy and will obtain your consent where required by law.
Media
Note: If you upload images to our website, it’s recommended to avoid uploading them with any embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Users of the website can download and extract location information from any images shared here.
Cookies
Note: If you post a comment on our site, you may choose to have your name, email address, and website saved in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will remain for one year.
If you access our login page, we will place a temporary cookie to ascertain whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and will be cleared once you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we will also establish several cookies to remember your login details and display preferences. Login cookies persist for two days, whereas cookies for display preferences last for a year. If you opt for “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
If you modify or publish a post, another cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and merely indicates the post ID of the article you’ve just edited. It will expire after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Sites
Note: Articles hosted on this site may incorporate embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). This embedded content functions exactly as if the visitor accessed the external site directly.
These external sites may collect information about you, utilize cookies, incorporate additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with that embedded content, including tracking your interactions if you have an account and are logged into that site.
Use of Personal Information
We may use the personal information we collect from you for the following purposes:
- To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
- To improve our website and services
- To send periodic newsletters or promotional materials (if you have opted to receive them)

Data Sharing
Note: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email for the reset.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information with trusted service providers to assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, as long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
Data Retention
Note: When you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This ensures we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our site (if applicable), we also retain the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (excluding username changes). Website administrators can also access and modify that information. Personal information will be kept only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.
Your Data Rights
Note: If you have an account on this site or have submitted comments, you can request a file export of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have shared with us. Additionally, you may ask us to delete any personal data we hold on you. This excludes any data we are legally obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
You have the right to withdraw consent for the use of your personal information at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. To do so, you can contact us at the email address provided in this policy.
How We Protect Your Information
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order, submit, or access your personal information. These security measures include encryption, firewalls, and secure server hosting, among others.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be analyzed by an automated spam detection service. This service may also process the information you provide when posting comments on our site.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
