Privacy Policy
Last updated May 2026. David Andrew Furniture ("DAF") is operated by Ben Lafreniere, based in British Columbia, Canada. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy law.
1. What We Collect
We collect only what we need to fulfil your procurement engagement:
2. How We Use Your Information
- To draft and deliver your Sourcing Plan
- To place purchase orders with workshops on your behalf
- To coordinate delivery and last-mile logistics
- To issue and maintain your project record
- To send transactional emails (brief confirmation, plan, delivery updates, payment links)
- To respond to warranty claims and Lifeware refresh requests
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to your engagement with DAF.
3. Who We Share Information With
We share your information only as necessary to fulfil your project:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.
4. Data Retention
Project records — including your brief, Sourcing Plan, delivery confirmation, and project record — are retained for the duration of any active Lifeware engagement plus seven years, in accordance with standard business record-keeping requirements.
If you submit a brief but do not proceed to a signed engagement, your brief information is retained for up to 12 months and then deleted unless you request earlier deletion.
5. Your Rights
Under PIPEDA and applicable provincial law, you have the right to:
- Access the personal information DAF holds about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Withdraw consent to non-essential processing

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@davidandrewfurniture.com with your request. We will respond within 30 days.
6. Security
Project data is stored on Vercel's infrastructure with encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS). Brief content is stored in Vercel Blob Storage. Payment data is handled exclusively by Stripe and never touches our servers. We do not log full card numbers, CVVs, or authentication tokens.
7. Cookies and Analytics
This site uses minimal session cookies required for the procurement advisor to function (conversation state). We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. If we add analytics beyond server-side logs, this policy will be updated.
8. Changes to This Policy
We will notify active clients by email of any material changes to this policy. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
