4. Consent and choice

We inform you of the reasons why your information is collected and obtain your consent where required.

 

You can refuse to provide certain information or withdraw your consent to its use by contacting our representative. However, this choice may limit our ability to respond to your request or provide a service.

Withdrawal of consent remains subject to applicable legal and contractual obligations.

 

Simply visiting the site does not constitute consent to all uses of personal information.

 

5. Access to Information and Service Providers

Access to your information is limited to authorized individuals who require it to perform their duties, including those responsible for customer requests, projects, and administration.

 

We may also use third-party providers for website hosting, forms, email, IT support, or accounting. The site uses the Wix platform.

 

These providers may process the information necessary for their services, according to the applicable terms and protection measures.

 

We do not sell your personal information. Any other communication is done with your consent or when permitted or required by law.

 

6. Processing outside Quebec

The use of technology platforms and providers may result in the processing or storage of personal information outside of Quebec, including elsewhere in Canada or in other countries.

 

When such communications are contemplated, we conduct assessments and implement the safeguards required by applicable laws.

 

7. Cookies and browsing tools

The site may use connection logs, also known as "cookies", and similar technologies.

 

Some are necessary for the operation and security of the site. Other tools, if activated, can be used to measure traffic, remember preferences, or support marketing activities.

 

When your consent is required, the relevant tools should only be activated after you agree. You can manage your choices using the consent manager, where available on the website.

 

You can also change your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some features may then be limited.

The applicable periods are as follows:

 

  • Unanswered requests: [Duration to be specified];

Upon expiry of the applicable period, the information is securely destroyed or anonymized in accordance with legal requirements.

 

9. Protective measures

We implement reasonable safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity, quantity, and use of the information.

 

These measures are specifically designed to limit access and protect information against loss, theft, unauthorized use or disclosure.
