privacy policy
Last updated: July 2026
Hey friend — your trust matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information The Lifestyle Habit ("we," "us," or "our") collects when you visit thelifestylehabit.ca, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it simple and we keep it honest.
Who we are
The Lifestyle Habit (TLH Studio) is a creative lifestyle brand offering sewing, crafting, creating and organizing tips and products, operated by Tracy Hastings in Canada. If you have any questions about this policy, reach us through our contact page.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you fill out a form on our site — such as our contact form or newsletter signup — we collect the details you provide, such as your first name and email address, and any message you send.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our host may automatically collect limited technical information such as your browser type, device, general location, and pages visited, using cookies and similar technologies. This helps the site work properly and helps us understand what's useful.
How we use your information
- To respond to your messages and questions.
- To send you our newsletter and updates — but only if you've asked us to.
- To operate, maintain and improve our website and content.
- To keep our site secure and prevent misuse.
Email & newsletter
If you join our newsletter, we use a trusted email marketing provider (Flodesk) to store your details and send you emails. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time — no hard feelings, friend.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to remember preferences and measure basic usage. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as smoothly without them.
Third-party services
We rely on a few reputable third parties to run our business, and your information may be processed by them only as needed to provide their service:
- Wix — website hosting and form/lead management.
- Flodesk — email newsletter delivery.
- Stripe — secure payment processing (only if and when you make a purchase; we never see or store your full card details).
Each of these providers maintains its own privacy practices.
How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We only share it with the service providers above so they can help us run the site, or where required by law.
Your choices & rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to withdraw consent for marketing emails at any time. In Canada, your information is handled in line with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). To make a request, just get in touch.
Data retention
We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, or as required by law, and then remove it.
Children's privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date above. Meaningful changes will be highlighted where appropriate.
