Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026 · Effective for designmenu.ca

Design Menu is a one-person managed WordPress hosting operation run by Michael Perks out of Duncan, BC. This policy explains what personal information I collect, why, and how I handle it. I keep things simple — I collect only what I need to provide you with a service and respond to your questions.

1. Who I Am

Design Menu is operated by Michael Perks, a sole proprietor based in Duncan, British Columbia, Canada.

Contact: hello@designmenu.ca · 250-797-2286

2. Information I Collect

I collect personal information only when you provide it directly to me. This happens when you:

  • Submit the contact form (name, email address, website URL, your message)
  • Sign up as a hosting client (name, email address, billing information processed by a third-party payment provider)
  • Email or call me directly

I do not run analytics software, advertising trackers, or any third-party scripts on this website beyond the Google Fonts stylesheet used for typography.

3. How I Use Your Information

I use the information you provide solely to:

  • Respond to your enquiries
  • Provide and manage your hosting service
  • Send service-related communications (maintenance notices, renewal reminders)

I do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes — ever.

4. Data Storage & Retention

Contact form submissions are delivered to my email inbox and not stored in any database on this website. Client account information is retained for the duration of the service relationship and for a reasonable period after termination as required for billing and tax records.

My website is hosted on Canadian and/or US-based servers. By submitting information through this site, you consent to its storage and processing in those locations.

5. Cookies

This website does not use cookies for tracking or advertising. If any cookies are set, they are strictly functional and necessary for the operation of the site.

6. Your Rights (PIPEDA)

As a Canadian business, Design Menu operates in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). You have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information I hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Withdraw consent for non-essential uses of your information

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@designmenu.ca.

7. Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of this site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
