SERVICE PROVIDERS AND THIRD PARTIES
Although we strive to avoid sharing your personal information with third parties, we may engage service providers to perform various tasks on our behalf. This may include IT management and security, marketing, data analysis, hosting, and storage. We only provide them with the personal information strictly necessary for the performance of their tasks.

WEB HOSTING AND EMAILS
We use the expertise and services of Optilog Informatique Inc. for our website hosting and management. The servers used are located in Quebec.

We use Microsoft 365 services for email hosting and management. The servers used are located in Canada. As this is a third-party service, please refer to their privacy policy on their website: [https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-US/privacystatement].

SOCIAL MEDIA
When you interact with us through social media platforms such as our Facebook, Instagram, or X pages, the personal information you provide is shared with the social media networks themselves, not with us. This information is subject to the privacy policy of the respective social media platforms. Please note that any information you post on social media may become public.

MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
We use various management software to oversee different aspects of our business, such as accounting, communication, letter and notice dispatching, report generation, and the preparation of statements and declarations. Since these services are provided by third parties, please consult their Privacy Policy.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We use Google Analytics to analyze user behavior on our website. Google Analytics anonymizes data by truncating part of your IP address. The cookies used by Google Analytics expire two years after your last visit to our website. For more information, please consult their data privacy policy. You can disable Google Analytics by clicking on the Manage consent tab at the bottom left of the screen.

We may disclose your personal information when we believe such disclosure is authorized, necessary, or appropriate under applicable laws, including:

  • To respond to requests from public and governmental authorities;
  • To protect our business activities;
  • To comply with legal proceedings;
  • To protect our rights, privacy, security, and property, as well as yours or those of third parties;
  • To enable us to pursue available legal remedies or limit any potential damages.

7. How long do we retain your personal information?

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or used, or as permitted or required by applicable laws. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include legal obligations (e.g., some laws require us to retain records of transactions for a certain period before deletion).

When this information is no longer needed for business purposes, we take reasonable steps to permanently destroy or anonymize it.

8. How do we protect your personal information?

We implement physical, organizational, contractual, and technological security measures to protect your personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, and misuse. Only authorized employees and individuals who need this information for business and legal reasons have access to it. They are trained and required to maintain the confidentiality of your data.

We have also implemented specific procedures and resources to document and manage security incidents under the best possible conditions.

However, as no mechanism can guarantee absolute security, there is always some risk when using the Internet to transmit personal information.

9. Do we collect personal information from children?

Our products and services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you are a minor (under 14 in Quebec), please do not provide us with personal data without explicit parental or guardian consent.

If you are a parent or guardian and are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.

If we discover that we have unintentionally collected personal data from minors without verified parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete this information.

At any time, you have the right to access and rectify your personal information. You may request to review, modify the use of, correct, or delete your personal data. Please submit your request to our Privacy Officer listed below.

We will respond to your request within a maximum of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the written request, in a structured and commonly used technological format. However, processing fees may apply.

11. Modifications and updates to this policy

We reserve the right to revise this policy at any time, based on the evolution of our activities, applicable laws, the availability of new technologies, or the introduction of new products, services, or features.
