“Personal Information” is information about an identifiable individual, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, credit card information, birth date, and gender. We don’t collect information about your birth date or gender.
“Non-Personal Information” is information that is typically collected, used or disclosed by us in a manner that it not identifiable to an individual (except where indicated herein), such as an Internet Protocol Address (IP Address), the domain used to access the Website, the type and version of browser or operating system being used by visitors to the Website, and aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors, what pages users access or visit, and average time spent on the Website.
Although our collection, use and disclosure of Non-Personal Information is not subject to privacy laws or this Privacy Policy, herein we include information about our handling of such information in the interest of providing transparency with respect to the operation of the Website.
What type of Personal Information does Antiction.com collect and how is it used?
Antiction.com collects information that helps us process your purchases and personalize and improve your shopping experience. Here are examples of the types of information that we gather:
- Registration: A guest account is automatically created in the checkout process. You also have the option to click login and create an account if you have not already done so.
- Purchases: When you make a purchase through the Website, we collect the following Personal Information:your name, email address, billing and shipping addresses, a phone number, and IP address, Antiction.com password (if you created an account), payment and billing information.
- Payment Methods: During checkout, you may have the option to select PayPal or credit card. Your payment information is processed by licensed third parties, namely, PayPal or Stripe.
- Stored Credit Card Information: When you choose to pay with a credit card directly through our payment processor, Stripe, they keep your credit card information secure. Millions of businesses of all sizes—from startups to large enterprises—use Stripe’s software and APIs to accept payments, make refunds, and manage their businesses online. We use a technology called “payment tokenization”. That’s just a fancy way of saying we don’t actually store your credit card number. Instead, when you complete a purchase, we use your credit card number to obtain a secret token – a special random string of letters and numbers – from the credit card payment provider, to confirm payment. Just like all of our other financial transactions, this communication is set up to take place over a secure, encrypted communication line.
- Shipping: We typically use third party courier providers and Canada Post to deliver your purchases, and accordingly we share your name, phone number, email address and shipping address with these providers for the purposes of completing your delivery.
- Mobile Location Data: We may ask you if you want to give our website access to your mobile devices location. If you grant access to your mobile location, we may collect location data from your device for analytics and to better provide our Services to you.

We implement a variety of measures (such as technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security measures) which are designed to protect the Personal Information that we collect, including measures to limit access to information only to staff who need access to perform their employment duties.
In certain areas, such as when you provide credit card or other payment information to us, we seek to protect the security of your credit card and other payment information during transmission by, for example, using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology.
You are also responsible for helping to protect the security of your Personal Information. For instance, never give out your Antiction.com account information or your password to third parties. We will never ask you to provide such information to us by email or phone.
