Any such cookie is typically stored on your computer’s hard drive and permits our website to recognize you when you return. It is essentially your identification card for your visit, and cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. It is uniquely yours and can only be read by our site. There is no data in a cookie that can personally identify you.
Our use of cookies helps us to provide you with a better experience during your use of our website by allowing us to understand what areas of the site are of interest to you and are not used to keep track of your web use outside of our site.

Your use of the Services involves the collection by us of personal information about you, such as your email address, name, home or work address or telephone number.

This information is collected by us in order to improve your shopping experience and to communicate about our products, services and promotions. We collect information from you to register as a member, complete a transaction, sign up to receive email/text communications from us, or participate in a competition, promotion or survey. We may use your information collected online to fulfill and process your orders. We may maintain a record of products you have looked at or purchased to enhance your shopping experience and make it easier and faster for you.
Where possible, information will be obtained directly from you, but otherwise it may be provided from others (with your consent), or generated within or by the systems used to provide our Services.
You may ask to see any information we hold about you and we will provide it as long as we have such information and can readily retrieve it. You may also ask us to correct any incorrect information we hold about you.
We may provide your personal information to our related companies, our contractors, credit reference and debt collection agencies, communications network operators and selected business partners to:

Personal information collected in relation to your use of the Services is stored and processed in Canada.
Disclosure of Information
We may disclose information about you or your use of the Website and/or Services without your prior permission if we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
- conform to legal requirements (including, but not limited to, requirements in accordance with any applicable law, regulation or government request) or comply with legal process, or to help maintain the law
- protect our rights or property or those of our related companies
- enforce our Customer Terms or Service Terms

We do not sell, rent or lease our visitor or customer information to third parties.
We do use other companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf, such as delivering packages, sending mail or emails and processing payments. They will have access to your personal information in order to perform these services, but are not authorized to use your information for any other purpose.
Security
We take care to make our site secure. The payment system used by Far and Wide is Stripe. This means there is no need for Far and Wide to record your credit card details as this is a secure gateway for online payment. To learn more about Stripe visit their website.
Charges
If you’re a customer whose credit card is not denominated in Canadian dollars, the final price will be calculated in accordance with the applicable exchange rate on the day your card issuer processes the transaction. When converting to another currency, or when an item is charged to a credit card, a price variation may occur due to fluctuating exchange rates and credit card company charges. Once an order is sent, we take no responsibility for charges, taxes or duties incurred at the receiver’s end as this can vary depending on the rules of customs in each country. All prices displayed on the Far and Wide online shop are at our sole discretion. Pricing may change without notice and differ between national and international markets.
