Privacy Policy

Megan Barker Design (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you visit www.meganbarkerdesign.com (the “Site”), contact us, or use our services.

By using this Site, you agree to the practices described below and consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information in accordance with this policy and applicable laws, including British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

 

Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you fill out a contact or inquiry form, subscribe to updates or newsletters, request a quote or service, or communicate with us via email or phone. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company name (if applicable), project details or design preferences, and any other information you choose to share voluntarily.

When you visit the Site, certain information is also collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools such as Wix Analytics or Google Analytics. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system, the pages you view and time spent on the Site, the date and time of your visit, and the referring website or search terms used to reach the Site. This information helps us understand how visitors use our website and improve its performance and user experience.

 

How We Use Your Information

We collect and use your information to respond to inquiries, provide requested services, prepare proposals or invoices, communicate about ongoing or potential projects, improve and personalize your experience on the Site, send updates or marketing emails with your consent, and maintain internal business records in compliance with legal obligations. We do not use your personal information for any purpose other than those stated, unless you provide consent or it is required by law.

​

Cookies and Analytics

Our website is hosted on Wix.com, which uses cookies to provide essential site functionality, analyze traffic, and improve performance. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, but please note that disabling certain cookies may limit some features or functionality of the Site. We also use Google Analytics and similar tools to measure visitor behavior in aggregate form. These analytics do not personally identify you.

​

Disclosure and Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share your data only with trusted third-party service providers such as Wix, email hosting, analytics, or payment processors who help operate the Site or deliver our services. We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, or government authority, or when necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property. All third-party providers are required to protect your information in compliance with applicable privacy laws.

​

Storage and Security

Your personal information is stored on secure servers operated by Wix.com and other trusted providers. We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of online transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

​

Retention of Information

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes identified in this Policy or as required by law. When information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

​

Your Rights

Under British Columbia’s PIPA and Canada’s PIPEDA, you have the right to access and request a copy of your personal information, request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, withdraw consent for certain uses of your data, and request deletion of your information (subject to legal requirements). To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below. We may require verification of your identity before responding.

​

International Data Transfers

Because our website is hosted through Wix.com, your data may be stored or processed on servers located outside Canada, including in the United States. We take reasonable steps to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable privacy laws and that adequate protection is in place for your information.

​

Children’s Privacy

Our Site and services are not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn that we have collected information from a child, we will delete it promptly.

​

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
