- How do we get your consent?
We obtain your consent in different ways, depending on the circumstances.
- We sometimes explicitly ask for your consent. That said, the consent can also be implied – i.e., deemed granted if you do not reply or in specific circumstances.
- If we wish to use your personal information for a purpose not set out in law or that you were not advised of when the information was collected, we will ask for your consent again.
- To whom do we disclose your personal information?
We may disclose your personal information to other organizations, such as our partners or service providers, so we can fulfill the purposes listed under What personal information do we collect and why?
We will make every effort, in these cases, to ensure the personal information disclosed is protected, through commitments that call for the adoption of good practices and privacy safeguards that meet our expectations.

- For how long do we keep your personal information?
We retain your personal information for the time needed to fulfill the purposes set out in this policy, unless we are required, by law or in an exceptional situation, to keep it for a longer period – for example, in the case of a legal dispute.
- Where do we keep your personal information?
We keep the personal information we collect on our site in Canada.
If we disclose personal information to a party outside of Quebec, in a jurisdiction that may have different privacy laws, we make sure your information has a level of protection equivalent to that in Quebec – for example, through contractual obligations.
- How do we protect your personal information?
We put reasonable security measures and procedures in place to ensure your personal information is protected, whether it is kept on our servers or at one of our Service providers.
No security measure is absolute or fully guaranteed, however. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you think the security or accuracy of the information you have provided to us has been compromised), please contact us immediately at the address shown in How to reach us.
- What rights do you have regarding your personal information?
You have several rights related to your personal information, including:
Rights of access and correction You can request access to – and get a copy of – the personal information about you that we have retained. |
Right to withdraw your consent You can ask to withdraw your consent to our use or disclosure of personal information. |
If any personal information about you is inaccurate, incomplete or ambiguous, or if the law does not authorize the collection, disclosure or retention of this information, you can have this remedied. |
In most cases, withdrawal of your consent means that we will no longer be able to fulfill a request you make or provide the product or service you have requested. We will, alternatively, advise you, in our reply, of the consequences of your request. |
