Policies

Canadian Only’s mission is to promote Canadian businesses, organizations, artists and artisans. To align with this mission, we are careful to include listings that are Canadian, have Canadian content, are Canadian owned and/or produce, manufacture or make Canadian products. We reserve the right to determine what is appropriate for this website. For further details, see Terms and Conditions below.

Privacy

This Privacy Policy is applicable to Canadian Only ("Company") and sets out our policy on the gathering and use of information on this site and our other sites (collectively "Sites").

Please note that any of these disclosures may involve the storage or processing of personal information outside of Canada and may therefore be subject to different privacy laws than those applicable in Canada, including laws that require the disclosure of personal information to governmental authorities under circumstances that are different than those that apply in Canada.
