Last modified: September 20, 2020

At Look Local Marketplace we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it by complying with this policy.

This policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal information of purchasers and other users of this website and our services (together the “Marketplace”).

We will only use your personal information in accordance with this policy unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Privacy laws in Canada generally define “personal information” as any information about an identifiable individual, which includes information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person.

This policy applies to information we collect, use, or disclose about you on the Marketplace and in any email, text or other electronic messages between you and Look Local Marketplace.

The Marketplace may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks, or applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow the third party to collect or share data about you. If you follow a link to a third-party website or engage a thirdparty plugin, please note that these third parties have their own privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. We do not control these third-party websites, and we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices for collecting, processing, and storing your information.
