We may disclose the personal information we collect or that you provide, as described in this policy:
The Company does not sell or commercially exchange any personal information it holds.
To the extent that the Company uses third-party service providers to store, manage, or process personal information on its behalf (for example, data storage and processing services, cloud computing services or cloud computing), we use contractual and other means to provide a comparable level of protection while personal information is stored, managed, or processed by these service providers.
Our service providers have committed through contractual agreements with us to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, collection, use, or disclosure.
When personal information is located outside Canada, it may be accessible by foreign governments, courts, and other governmental authorities, if required by law or a court order. We only communicate or transfer personal information outside Canada in compliance with applicable Canadian laws and for lawful purposes.
When we communicate personal information outside Quebec, and sometimes outside Canada, we do so solely for the purpose of providing our products and services, or to support our business in order to offer our products and services in a reasonably efficient manner and at commercially reasonable costs.
Before communicating personal information outside Quebec, we conduct a privacy impact assessment in accordance with applicable Quebec law. This assessment takes into account: (i) the sensitivity of the information; (ii) the purpose of its use; (iii) the protection measures, including contractual ones, that the information would benefit from; and (iv) the legal framework applicable in the state where this information would be communicated, particularly the generally recognized principles of personal information protection applicable there. Personal information is only communicated if the assessment demonstrates that it would benefit from adequate protection. If you would like more information about the service providers we use to whom personal information is communicated outside Quebec, please contact our Personal Information Protection Officer (identified below). We confirm that it is possible that we may communicate, in strict compliance with this policy, your personal information outside Quebec or Canada to third parties we retain to provide us with services involving the use, communication, or retention of your personal information on our behalf. You consent to such communications, uses, or retentions.
The Company is established and operates in accordance with the laws of the province of Quebec, Canada. Laws relating to the protection of personal information may differ depending on your jurisdiction of residence. If you reside or are established outside the province of Quebec, you are responsible for ensuring that the transmission of your personal information to the Company is permitted by the local or national laws applicable to you. By transmitting your personal information to the Company, you acknowledge and agree that this information will be subject to the laws of the province of Quebec, Canada, and that the Company cannot be held responsible for non-compliance with personal information protection laws in force in your jurisdiction.
Notre engagement envers votre vie privée. Nous prenons très au sérieux la sécurité et la gestion responsable de vos renseignements personnels. Nos politiques de gouvernance portant sur les renseignements personnels ont été formellement approuvées par notre responsable de la protection des renseignements personnels. Ces politiques et pratiques sont conçues pour correspondre à la portée et à la complexité de nos diverses activités commerciales. Les sous-sections suivantes fournissent des informations détaillées, en termes simples et clairs, pour vous informer sur nos politiques et pratiques de gouvernance concernant les renseignements personnels.
Gestion du cycle de vie des données : Nos politiques couvrent l’intégralité du cycle de vie de vos renseignements personnels. Nous conservons vos renseignements personnels uniquement aussi longtemps que nécessaire pour remplir les fins pour lesquelles ils ont été initialement collectés, sauf si des obligations légales nous obligent à les conserver plus longtemps, comme les lois régissant la pratique du droit et les lois fiscales. Après que les renseignements personnels ont servi leur but, nous veillons à leur destruction ou anonymisation sécurisée et responsable, suivant des directives strictes.
Employee and Service Provider Responsibilities: Within our organizational structure, roles and responsibilities concerning the processing and management of personal information are clearly defined for our employees. All employees undergo training in this regard and are held accountable for any non-compliance with our personal information protection standards. With respect to service providers, we establish contractual relationships exclusively with entities that commit to adhering to industry-standard security measures and complying with laws. These agreements have been carefully reviewed to ensure they comply with applicable laws and the principles set forth in this policy.
Évaluations de sécurité et de conformité : Afin d’assurer la conformité continue avec nos politiques et pratiques, nous réalisons des évaluations internes périodiques. Ces évaluations portent sur la manière dont les renseignements personnels sont collectés, stockés, traités et supprimés, et impliquent un examen minutieux de nos processus et procédures. Les évaluations permettent de déterminer l’efficacité de nos mesures de sécurité existantes et de proposer des améliorations continues.
Complaint Handling: In accordance with our commitment to personal information protection, we have established a formal process to receive, investigate, and resolve any complaints regarding the safeguarding of your personal information.
Security Measures: To protect your personal information, we use a multi-layered security approach that includes physical, electronic, and administrative measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure of your personal information.
While these policies and measures are aligned with recommended practices, it is important to recognize that the absolute security of your personal information during online transmission or when using online services cannot be unconditionally guaranteed. Such transmissions are therefore at your own risk.
We strive to present this policy in a simple and easily understandable manner, to ensure that you are fully informed about how we process your personal information.
Unless otherwise authorized or required by applicable law or regulation, we will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and depersonalized information for any legitimate purpose without notifying you or obtaining your consent.
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and up-to-date. Please keep us informed of any changes to your personal information. The law gives you the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and the right to correct that information.
If you wish to review, verify, correct, or withdraw your consent to the use of your personal information, you may send an email to the Personal Information Protection Officer’s email address to request access, correction, or deletion of any personal information you have provided to us.
