Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 27, 2026

At Fabrics Online ("we," "us," or "our"), we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using fabricsonline.com, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

  • Name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number when you place an order or create an account
  • Payment details (processed securely through our payment provider — we do not store full card numbers)
  • Communications you send us, including customer service inquiries
  • Email address and preferences when you sign up for our newsletter

We also collect certain information automatically when you visit our website:

  • IP address, browser type, and device information
  • Pages visited, time spent on the site, and referring URLs
  • Cookie and tracking data (see Section 5 below)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to:

  • Process and fulfill your orders, including shipping and delivery
  • Send order confirmations, shipping updates, and receipts
  • Respond to your questions and provide customer support
  • Send promotional emails and newsletters — only with your explicit consent, as required under Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL)
  • Improve our website and product offerings
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. Legal Basis and Consent

We collect and use your personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and, for residents of Quebec, in accordance with Act 25 (Law 25).

We only send marketing communications to customers who have given express or implied consent as defined by CASL. You can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any of our emails or by contacting us at info@fabricsonline.com.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business, including:

  • Shopify Inc. (our e-commerce platform)
  • Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal)
  • Shipping carriers (e.g., Canada Post, UPS, FedEx)
  • Email marketing platforms

These providers are contractually required to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us. Some providers may be located outside Canada; in such cases, your information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.

We may also disclose your information when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our customers and business.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to make the site function properly, remember your preferences, and analyze how visitors use the site.

Types of cookies we use:

  • Essential cookies — required for the site to work (e.g., shopping cart, session management)
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • Marketing cookies — used to show relevant ads and track campaign performance

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling some cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, and reporting requirements. Order records are generally retained for a minimum of seven (7) years in accordance with Canadian tax regulations.

7. Your Rights

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements

Residents of Quebec have additional rights under Law 25, including the right to data portability and the right to be informed of any automated decision-making processes that significantly affect you.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@fabricsonline.com.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your personal information, including SSL encryption for all data transmitted through our website. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of majority in their province or territory of residence. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
