Privacy Policy
We are dedicated to respecting the privacy of individuals who visit our website. The following standards are an integral part of our privacy policy:
- We do not collect any personal information such as your name, address, phone number, or email address when you visit our website. This information is only collected if you voluntarily provide it when signing up for our mailing list, submitting an inquiry, or filling out a form on the site.
- The personal information you provide to us is protected under the federal law on the protection of personal information. This means that you will be informed of any collection of information about you, the reasons for the collection, and your right to access the information. However, we do collect data on website traffic to improve and better meet your needs. No personally identifiable information is collected; the data of interest to us is of a technical nature.
- For example, we want to know the name of your internet service provider, its IP address, and the type of service provided; the duration of each visit; the number of inquiries made per visit; the type of operating system (Windows, Macintosh, Unix, etc.) you are using; and the type of browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) you employ.
- Canadians are protected by the following two federal laws regarding the protection of personal information: the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the Privacy Act. PIPEDA is based on the Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information of the Canadian Standards Association, which is incorporated into it. 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 ensures compliance with this Act.
