3. Purpose of data processing
We use personal information only for purposes that are reasonable and appropriate in connection with our business operations, including:

4. Legal basis for processing
Under Canadian privacy law, we collect, use, and disclose personal information with your consent where appropriate, and without consent only where permitted or required by law. Our processing is based on one or more of the following grounds:
- Consent: where you have given express or implied consent for us to use your personal information for specified purposes.
- Contractual necessity: where processing is necessary to provide requested services, prepare estimates, or manage service arrangements.
- Legitimate and reasonable business purposes: where collection, use, or disclosure is appropriate for operational, administrative, security, or service-related purposes and does not override your privacy interests.
- Legal and regulatory compliance: where processing is required to comply with applicable laws, tax requirements, court orders, or lawful requests from authorities.
Where consent is required, you may be asked to provide it at the time of collection or through subsequent communication. You may withdraw consent subject to legal or contractual restrictions, as described below.
5. Data sharing and third parties
We do not sell personal information. We may share personal information with third parties only when necessary and appropriate for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

- Payment processors and financial institutions: to process payments, issue refunds, and manage billing.
- Subcontractors and workers: where necessary to perform garden care services at your property.
- Professional advisors: accountants, lawyers, insurers, and similar advisors where required for legitimate business operations.
- Government bodies and law enforcement: when required by applicable law or lawful request.
We require third parties to safeguard personal information and use it only for authorized purposes. However, where third parties process information on their own behalf, their privacy practices may apply in addition to ours.
6. Data transfer to third countries
Some of our service providers or technology platforms may store or process personal information outside of Canada, including in the United States or other jurisdictions. As a result, your personal information may be subject to the laws of those countries and may be accessible to courts, law enforcement, or regulatory authorities in those jurisdictions.
Where we transfer personal information outside Canada, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards are in place to protect the information. By using our services or providing us with personal information, you acknowledge that such transfers may occur where necessary for business operations.
7. Storage duration
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal, accounting, tax, or regulatory requirements, and to resolve disputes or enforce agreements.
- Customer and service records: retained for the duration of the business relationship and for a reasonable period thereafter.
- Financial and tax records: retained for the period required by applicable law.
- Communications and inquiries: retained as long as needed to respond to your request and manage the relationship.
- Website and technical records: retained for operational, security, and analytical purposes for limited periods.
When personal information is no longer required, we will securely delete, destroy, or anonymize it in accordance with our retention practices and legal obligations.

Where our use of your personal information is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Please note that withdrawing consent may limit our ability to provide certain services or respond to your requests, and it may affect the functionality of some communications or website features.
