Privacy Policy

Our website respects your privacy on the Internet. No data or statistics are transmitted to a third party. All browsing data collected automatically does not identify you and only serves us to better understand your needs and improve our site.

Please note that some pages on our site lead to external sites beyond our control. Consult the privacy policy specific to these sites.

Confidentiality of your browsing

Automatic exchange of information

As soon as you access the site, your computer and the site's server automatically exchange information. However, this exchange does not allow you to be personally identified (example: name, telephone number or address). The information exchanged may include, but is not limited to, anonymized (truncated) IP address, your devices used when connecting to our servers (when viewing our websites), browser settings, browser type, browser version, plug-in types and versions, the pages of our site that you visited, your time zone, geolocation, time and date of your visit, the time spent on our visited pages, the history of searches carried out on our site, etc.

The site collects this information due to the technological requirements inherent to Internet browsing. In fact, the server needs it to send you files compatible with the computer equipment you use. However, under no circumstances will these requirements allow you to be identified.

Use of cookies

Cookies are used to facilitate navigation within the pages of this site. These cookies do not collect personal information about you. You can configure your browser at any time to block cookies.

If you use a computer in a public place or share a computer with other users, be sure to clear your browsing history before ending each session.

The information is retained and used for statistical purposes. The information collected by the tool is, for example, the pages you consult, the date, time, duration and frequency of your visits as well as the links on which you click. The type of operating system on your computer as well as its language, your geographic location (city, region and country of origin) are also part of the information collected. Your IP address is also collected, but it is anonymized (truncated) to ensure the confidentiality of information about you. Anonymizing an IP address prevents the identity of an Internet user from being known through it.

Transmission of personal information

The site does not collect any personal information without the visitor's consent. It thus complies with the Act respecting access to documents held by public bodies and the protection of personal information.

Sections 64 and 65 of this Act require that any department or body that requests personal information ensures the need to obtain such information, identifies itself to that person and informs them:

the name and address of the public body on behalf of which it collects this information; the use for which this information is intended; the categories of people who will have access to this information; the obligatory or optional nature of the request consequences of a refusal to respond to the request; the rights of access and rectification provided for by law.

It is important to remember that the transmission of information by email is not completely secure. This is why it is not recommended to disclose personal information such as your social insurance number by email. In order to preserve the confidentiality of your personal information, the site team will not answer your questions by email when confidential data must be exchanged.

Electronic messages are treated with the same confidentiality measures as mail received by post. If you transmit personal information by email, by filling out an unsecured online form or by subscribing to a mailing list, the site team will conclude that you consent. Be sure that :

the site will only use the information required to respond to your request and follow up on it; this information is kept and then destroyed, in accordance with the requirements of the Act respecting access to documents held by public bodies and the protection of personal information; the information transmitted will in no case be used to establish user profiles; the site will transmit this information to another government agency only if your request is addressed to it or if this communication is required by law; the site will not transmit any information to a private organization.

Limitation of collection

The site only collects the personal information necessary for the purposes identified above. It indicates, where applicable, the mandatory or optional nature of a request for personal information and the consequences resulting from the choice to communicate or not one or the other of this information.

Limitation of use, disclosure and retention

The site does not use or communicate personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, unless the person concerned consents or is required by law. Personal information is kept for as long as necessary to achieve the specified purposes.

Security measures

Personal information is protected by security measures appropriate to the circumstances.

Receiving and processing complaints regarding non-compliance with the principles

The site receives and processes any complaints regarding the implementation of this policy.

You must send your complaint by writing a message in the Contact Us section of the site.

Your User Responsibilities

To benefit from maximum security, you must:

use the most recent version of a browser that complies with security requirements (SSL protocol with 128-bit encryption); clear your browser's cache after transmitting your data; protect the confidentiality of your identification data, your code access and password. The site cannot under any circumstances be held responsible for unauthorized use of these. If their confidentiality is compromised, please notify the site administrators immediately to avoid fraudulent use of your identity.
