Privacy and Data Collection
We are dedicated to respecting the privacy of those who visit this website. The standards below are an integral part of our privacy policy.
We do not automatically collect personal information about you, such as your name, address, phone number, or email address when you visit this website. This information is only collected if you provide it voluntarily when you subscribe to the email mailing list, make an inquiry, or fill out a form on the website.
The personal information you provide is protected under the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). This means that you will be informed about the collection of any personal information about you, the reasons for the collection, and your right to access that information. However, we do collect data on the usage of our website to improve it and better serve your needs. No personal information is collected; the data we collect is of a technical 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 use
- The type of browser (Chrome, IE, Edge, Firefox, etc.) you use
Canadians are protected by the following two federal laws concerning personal information protection: the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). PIPEDA is based on the Canadian Standards Association's Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information. 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 is responsible for overseeing the application of this law.
The following standards are the functions of our privacy policy:
-
Accountability: We are responsible for the personal information in our possession. It is the responsibility of our CEO to implement policies and practices related to the protection of personal information and to ensure compliance.
-
Identifying Purposes: Before collecting personal information about you, or at the time of doing so, we will inform you of the reasons for the collection, how the information will be used, and under what circumstances it might be disclosed.
-
Consent: No personal information about you will be collected, used, or disclosed without your consent.
-
Limiting Collection: Personal information about you will only be collected 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 of Personal Information: Personal information about you will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected unless you consent or the law requires it. The information will only be retained 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 the information is inaccurate, please contact us.
-
Security Safeguards: Personal information is protected by security measures appropriate to its level of sensitivity. Protection methods will include physical, administrative, and technical safeguards.
-

Advertising
We may use external advertising methods on this site. In this case, when you visit this website or other websites or online services where we display advertisements, we collect data regarding your activities that will not personally or directly identify you.
This information may include the content you view, the date and time you view it, products you purchase, or location information from your IP address.
We collect this information to offer more relevant advertisements - a technique known as "retargeting." We collect information on the site where you viewed the ads we show you, as well as the ad 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 from your online activities (anonymously) in order to show you more relevant ads. If you do not want to receive personalized ads, you can adjust your advertising settings to avoid being targeted by most companies involved in such advertising practices. This will not prevent you from viewing ads, but they will simply not be shown as part of these retargeting methods.
Additionally, if we use external advertising methods, we will not show targeted ads based on sensitive personal information, such as details about 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 can only show targeted ads based on data provided by advertisers or partners, or by cross-referencing it with data we collect ourselves. All data used for targeted ads is anonymized and is not used to identify you personally or directly.
To reach a relevant audience, if we use external advertising methods, we may collaborate with external advertising companies—"advertising partners"—who help us recognize you and offer you relevant ads when you visit a website or online service that is part of their network. We may also collaborate with advertising partners to better recognize you across different devices to provide you with relevant ads. Our advertising partners may collect information about your activities through this website and other websites or online services that are part of their network. We also collaborate with external companies that provide us with web analytics tools that evaluate, among other things, the usage and functioning of this website so that we can continually 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 control and evaluate the performance and use 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 messages in the future, please contact us using one of the following methods:
