Sovereign Pure ("we", "us", "our") is an Indigenous majority-owned water sovereignty venture operating across Canada in joint venture with Arctic Freshwater. We respect the privacy of the Nations, communities, partners, and visitors who engage with us, and we are committed to handling personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

- The content of messages or requests you send us.
- Basic technical information (IP address, browser type, pages visited) collected automatically to keep the site secure and improve performance.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
2. How We Use Your Information

3. Sharing of Information

4. Data Sovereignty
Sovereign Pure recognizes Indigenous data sovereignty. Community-level operational data (depot activity, delivery records, water quality reporting for a Nation) belongs to that Nation. We provide the tooling; the Nation controls the record.

Information is stored on secure infrastructure located in Canada wherever practicable. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect it from loss, unauthorized access, and misuse.
