Privacy and Data Collection
We are dedicated to respecting the privacy of individuals who visit this website. The standards below are an integral part of our privacy policy.
We do not automatically collect information about you, such as your name, address, phone number, or email address, when you visit this website. This information is collected only if you provide it voluntarily when you register for the mailing list, submit an inquiry, or fill out a form on the site.
The personal information you provide is protected under the federal law on the protection of personal information. This means that you will be informed of any collection of information about you, the reasons for its collection, and your right to access the information. However, we collect data about visits to our website to improve it and better meet your needs. No personal information about you is collected; the data we are interested in is technical in nature. For example, we want to know:
- The name of your Internet service provider;
- The duration of each visit;
- The type of operating system (Windows, OS X, Unix, etc.) you are using;
- The type of browser (Chrome, IE, Edge, Firefox, etc.) you are using.
Canadians are protected by the following two federal laws regarding personal information protection: the Privacy Act and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). PIPEDA is based on the Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information of the Canadian Standards Association, which is incorporated into it. In Quebec, organizations are subject to the Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector. The Commission d’accès à l’information oversees the application of this law.
The following standards are the functions of our privacy policy:
- Accountability: We are responsible for personal information in our possession. It is the responsibility of our CEO to implement policies and practices regarding the protection of personal information and to ensure compliance.
- Identifying Purposes for Collection: Before or at the time of collecting personal information about you, we will inform you of the reasons for doing so, how the information will be used, and the circumstances under which it may be disclosed.
- Consent: No personal information about you will be collected, used, or disclosed without your consent.
- Limiting Collection: Personal information about you will be collected only if it is necessary for the identified purposes and only if it is reasonable and appropriate to do so under the circumstances.
- Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention: Personal information about you will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, unless you have consented or the law requires it. The information will only be retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the identified purposes.
- Accuracy: It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate, complete, and up to date. If you believe it is inaccurate, contact us.
- Safeguards: Personal information is protected using security measures appropriate to its sensitivity. Protection methods will include physical, administrative, and technical measures.
- Openness: Any interested person will be provided, upon request, with a copy of this privacy policy.
- Access to Personal Information: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. You may also challenge the accuracy and completeness of this information and request corrections.
- Challenging Compliance: You may complain about the failure to comply with the above principles to the CEO.
Advertising
We may use external advertising methods on this website. In this case, when you visit this website or the websites or online services where we display advertising, we collect data related to your activities that will not personally or directly identify you.
This information may include the content you view, the date and time you view this content, the products you purchase, or information related to your location through your IP address.
We collect this information to offer you more relevant advertisements—this is called “retargeting.” Thus, we collect information about the website where you saw the advertisements we display, as well as about the advertisement you clicked on.
If we use external advertising methods, when you browse certain websites, the online advertising networks we collaborate with may place anonymous cookies on your computer and use similar technologies to understand your interests based on your (anonymous) online activities in order to offer you more relevant advertisements. If you do not wish to receive personalized advertisements, you can adjust your advertising settings to no longer be targeted by most companies engaged in this type of advertising activity. This will not prevent you from viewing advertisements, but these advertisements will not be displayed as part of retargeting methods.
Moreover, if we use external advertising methods, we will not offer you targeted advertisements based on sensitive personal information, such as information related to your race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs or other similar information, union membership, health or physical or mental condition, or sexual preferences. We may only offer targeted advertisements based on data provided by advertisers or partners or by cross-referencing data we collect ourselves. All data used to deliver targeted advertisements is anonymized and not used to personally or directly identify you.
To reach a relevant audience, if we use external advertising methods, we may collaborate with external advertising companies—"advertising partners"—who will help us recognize you and provide you with relevant advertisements when you visit a website or online service within their network. We may also collaborate with advertising partners to better recognize you across different devices in order to provide you with relevant advertisements. Our advertising partners may collect information about your activities through this website and other websites or online services within their network. We also work with external companies that provide us with web analytics tools to assess the usage and operation of this website so that we can continuously improve this platform as well as our services.
Our external partners and we may use session cookies and persistent cookies to facilitate your navigation and enhance your user experience on this site, as well as to monitor and evaluate the operation and usage of this website.
To find out if we use external advertising methods, to modify or delete your personal information, or to opt out of receiving future messages, please contact us by one of the following methods:
