Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Pauls Containers Ltd ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, discloses and safeguards personal information when you visit paulscontainersltd.com or buy from us. We handle personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation.

Last updated: 2026-10-02

1. Who we are

Pauls Containers Ltd is a Canadian supplier of shipping containers, storage containers, modular cabins and trailers, operating from 963 Henderson Hwy, P.O. Box 35016, Winnipeg, Manitoba R2K 2M3, Canada. For privacy questions, contact our Privacy Officer at sales@paulscontainersltd.com or +1 (833) 266-8226.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information you give us

• Order and quote information: name, company name, email address, telephone number, billing address, and the delivery address for your container or trailer.
• Enquiry content: the message, site details and delivery requirements you send through our contact and quote forms.
• Account credentials: if you hold an administrative account, your email address and a salted, hashed password. We never store passwords in readable form.
• Marketing preferences: your email address if you subscribe to availability and pricing updates.

2.2 Information collected automatically

• Usage data: pages viewed, referring website, approximate region, browser and device type, and the date and time of your visit.
• Cookies and similar technologies: a strictly necessary cookie that remembers your shopping cart and session, and — only with your consent — analytics and advertising cookies.

2.3 Information we do not collect

We do not take payment card numbers through this website. Orders are settled by bank transfer or Interac e-Transfer using the instructions issued with your invoice, so full card details never pass through or rest on our servers.

3. Why we use your information

Purpose	Legal basis
Preparing quotes, processing orders and arranging delivery	Performance of our contract with you
Responding to enquiries and providing customer support	Your consent / our legitimate interest
Issuing invoices and meeting tax and bookkeeping obligations	Legal obligation
Detecting and preventing fraud and securing our systems	Legitimate interest
Sending marketing email about stock and pricing	Your express consent (CASL), withdrawable at any time
Measuring site performance and improving our service	Consent, via analytics cookies

4. Anti-spam (CASL)

Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation governs the commercial email we send. We only send marketing messages to people who have asked for them or who have an existing business relationship with us. Every message identifies us, gives our mailing address, and carries a working unsubscribe link that we honour within 10 business days. You can also unsubscribe at any time by emailing sales@paulscontainersltd.com.

5. Sharing your information

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We share it only with:

• Carriers and haulage contractors — the name, address and phone number needed to schedule and complete your delivery.
• Financial institutions and our accountants — to reconcile payments and meet tax obligations.
• Technology providers — hosting, email delivery and analytics suppliers acting as our service providers under contract.
• Authorities — where disclosure is required by law, court order, or to establish or defend a legal claim.

Some providers process data outside Canada, including in the United States. Where that happens, the information may be accessible to foreign courts and law enforcement under the laws of that country. We use providers that offer comparable protection and bind them by contract.

6. How long we keep it

• Order and invoice records: 7 years, as required by the Canada Revenue Agency.
• Quote requests and enquiries that do not become orders: 24 months.
• Marketing subscriptions: until you unsubscribe, then suppressed to honour your choice.
• Server and security logs: 90 days.

7. How we protect it

We use encryption in transit (TLS), hashed credentials, role-based access limited to staff who need it, and routine backups. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we maintain safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. If a breach creates a real risk of significant harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada as PIPEDA requires.

8. Your rights

Subject to legal limits, you may: access the personal information we hold about you; correct it if it is inaccurate; withdraw consent; ask us to delete information we no longer need; and request a copy in a portable format. Write to sales@paulscontainersltd.com and we will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Residents of Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta have additional rights under provincial legislation.

9. Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies keep your cart and session working and cannot be switched off. Analytics and advertising cookies are set only after you accept them in our cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time from the banner link in the footer. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies in their settings.

10. Children

Our website and products are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our practices or the law change. The revision date at the top always reflects the current version, and material changes will be highlighted on this page.
