Information we collect automatically may include information, such as your IP address, domain name, web page, the length of time spent on the site and/or a page, and the pages accessed while visiting the Site, which, to the extent such information is identifiable with you, is Personal Information. We collect this Personal Information through “log files” and “cookies.” Log files are small text files that websites automatically create when a user visits a site. This information collected through log files is stored on the server on which the website is hosted. A cookie is a tool that enables us to track and target your preferences. They help us to learn, for example, how many new visitors the site is getting, and to identify site features in which you may have the greatest interest. Cookies and log files may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular page. They thus help us to provide you better designed and personalized services. Like many companies we also aggregate the Personal Information we collect automatically. The cookie will be stored on your computer’s hard drive until you remove it. We may also use temporary or “session” cookies to help you use this Website. These temporary cookies will expire when you leave the Website.
We use four types of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies (always active): They are necessary for the operation of the Site and cannot be deactivated. They are generally set in response to actions you perform, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling out forms. You can set your browser to block or inform you of the existence of these cookies, but some parts of the Site may be affected. These cookies do not store any personal information.
Performance cookies: They are important because they allow us to monitor the performance of the Site and content to provide you with a quality experience. They make it possible to know the number of visitors, where this traffic comes from and how the Site is used. Thanks to this data, we can analyze what you, as a visitor, look for and consult on the Site, with a view to improving it and better meeting your needs. We recommend that you activate these cookies, but if you don’t, your browsing experience will not be affected.

Cookies for targeted advertising: They allow other websites to show you ads related to your interests when you browse away from the Site. You can consent or not to their activation when you connect to our Site. If you don’t activate them, you will continue to see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to you. Some of our business partners or the owners of websites that link to our Site may also use cookies, however, we have no access to, or control over, these cookies and do not accept any responsibility for their practices.
Occasionally we provide links to other third party websites for your convenience. These sites operate independently from this Site and are not under our control. These sites may have their own privacy practices, notices or policies in place, which we strongly suggest you review if you visit them. Without limitation, we are not responsible for the content of these sites, any products or services that may be offered through these sites or any other use of these sites, nor for any Personal Information processing and privacy practices associated with such sites.
The Company and its third-party service providers will only retain Personal Information as long as needed to fulfill the relevant disclosed purposes. The file containing your Personal Information will be made available to the authorized employees, contractors or agents of the Company who need to access the information in connection with the Purposes. The Personal Information will be held primarily in an electronic database.
We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and all other unlawful forms of processing of the Personal Information in our possession. When you provide Personal Information online, we use encryption on the Internet which is industry standard for this type of information — Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology — to help protect the information that you provide. This Internet encryption standard scrambles Personal Information as it travels from your computer to our server. You will know that you are in a secure area of our website when a lock icon appears on your screen that the “http” prefix of our URL address changes to “https.” The “s” represents “secure.”
We hereby agree to respect and observe the provisions set forth in Quebec Act respecting the protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector (the “PIPS”), the Federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and any other applicable Canadian federal or provincial legislation regulating the protection of personal information in the private sector. To the extent there is additional protection afforded to you, pursuant to the Act or any such other applicable privacy legislation, and same is not set forth herein, we agree to take such measures to give full effect to such additional protection.
In addition to any rights under applicable law, you also have the following non-exhaustive rights with respect to your Personal Information held by us:
To respond to inquiries regarding any of the rights noted above, we may request additional information from you, including Personal Information, to ensure we are able to accurately identify and process such an inquiry. Personal Information gathered for this purpose will only be used for the purpose of identifying and processing such a request. All inquiries shall be responded to within a reasonable period of time.
In addition, we are committed to ensuring that we only collect Personal Information for purposes identified in this policy or identified at the time of collection. Any Personal Information collected will be only collected to the extent necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it is collected. As noted in the Security section above, your Personal Information shall be safeguarded from unauthorized access, loss, or theft in accordance with reasonable commercial practices. Non-anonymized Personal Information, once it is no longer required for the identified purposes, will be deleted.
To ensure that all Personal Information is collected and processed in accordance with this policy and the applicable legislation, we have appointed Garrett O’Neill as Data Privacy Officer (“DPO").
