It is based on Québec’s Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector. In case of discrepancy, the French version prevails.

2. Information we collect
Information you give us
When you fill out our contact form or write to us, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, organization and the content of your message. If you send us a spontaneous application, we also collect the information it contains, such as your résumé.
Information collected automatically
- Audience measurement, with your consent. If you accept audience measurement cookies, Google Analytics collects information about how you use the site: pages viewed, visit duration, referring site, device and browser type, language and approximate region. Google Analytics does not record your IP address.
- Without your consent, no audience measurement cookie is set. Google may still receive limited technical signals without cookies or persistent identifiers (for example, the fact that a page was viewed), used only to produce overall statistics.
- Hosting logs. Our site is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub logs visitors’ IP addresses for security and service operation purposes.
- Your consent choices. Our consent management tool, Axeptio, records your cookie choices so they are respected on your next visits.
- Your display preferences. The theme (light or dark) and language you choose are stored only in your browser and are not sent to us.
3. Why we use your information
We use your personal information only to:
- answer your questions and requests, and follow up on our exchanges;
- assess your application, if you sent us one;
- understand how the site is used in order to improve it, if you consented;
- keep the site secure and working properly;
- meet our legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information. We make no decision based exclusively on automated processing of your information.

We share your information only with the providers that help us run the site and answer you, and only as needed:

Some of these providers store information outside Québec, including in the United States and Europe. Before communicating information outside Québec, we assess whether it will receive adequate protection there, and these communications are governed by contractual commitments.
We may also disclose information when required or permitted by law, for example at the request of a competent authority.
7. Retention
We keep your personal information only as long as needed for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. It is then securely destroyed or anonymized.
8. Security
We take reasonable security measures, suited to the sensitivity of the information, to protect it against loss, theft and unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Access to your information is limited to the people who need it for their work. If a confidentiality incident presents a risk of serious injury, we will notify the Commission d’accès à l’information and the people concerned, as required by law.
