Privacy policy

The purpose of this privacy policy (the ” Policy “) is to inform you about our privacy practices. We want you to know how and for what purposes we collect your data and information and how it is stored and used.

9409-9587 Québec Inc. takes all reasonable measures to ensure the integrity and security of information obtained from Internet users via the Site and to prevent any unauthorized access or use of such information. To this end, 9409-9587 Québec Inc. regularly reviews its security measures.

DATA COLLECTED BY AUTOMATIC MEANS

Several technologies may be used on our Site to improve its efficiency and user-friendliness, as well as for marketing and statistical purposes. These technologies may involve the automatic collection and storage of data by us or by third parties on our behalf. In general, this data does not contain any personal details about the user. These technologies include, but are not limited to, cookies, Adobe Flash cookies, web beacons (also known as “pixel tags” and “clear GIFs”), tracking links or similar technologies and web metrics.

Data collected may include, but is not limited to:

  • the visitor’s IP address;
  • the date and time of the visit;
  • the referring URL (the site from which the visitor came);
  • the pages visited on our Site;
  • information on the browser used (browser type and version, operating system, etc.).

We may also use cookies to identify the holder of a user account and to place items in a virtual shopping cart during purchases. The cookies we generally use in these cases are “session cookies”, which are automatically destroyed when you close your browser. You can manage your browsing preferences directly in your web browser at any time. By default, browsers allow the use of cookies, but this function can also be deactivated. However, some services may not be available. You can also manually delete cookies after they have been used, using your Web browser.

Web beacons, tracking links or similar technologies, and cookies are mainly used for statistical analysis. These technologies can also be used to track traffic patterns on Web sites, or to find out whether an e-mail has been received, opened and answered.

Cybermetrics, for its part, is a method of collecting and evaluating the behavior of visitors to websites or (mobile) applications. This includes the analysis of traffic patterns to determine, for example, the frequency of visits to certain parts of a website or (mobile) application, or to find out which information and services are of most interest to our visitors. To do this, we mainly use clickstream data and the other techniques described above. The web metrics services used on our Site and (mobile) applications are provided by Google Analytics or others.

This means that when you visit our Site, a Google Analytics cookie is placed on your computer or mobile device, unless your browser settings do not allow cookies, as mentioned above. Furthermore, when you visit our Site, the cybermetric data described above – including “clickstream data”, data provided by “web beacons and tracking links”, as well as information stored in Google Analytics cookies – will be sent to Google Analytics to be analyzed in order to 9409-9587 Québec Inc.

Google Analytics acts as an agent for 9409-9587 Québec Inc.which means that 9409-9587 Québec Inc. only determines the purposes for which the data is used and that Google Analytics may not disclose the information to third parties (unless obliged to do so by law or court order). In terms of privacy, this means that 9409-9587 Québec Inc. is the “guarantor” and Google Analytics is the “data processor”.

If you do not want information about your visits to our website to be collected and evaluated by Google Analytics, you can object to this. This means that Google Analytics will either anonymize the information it collects (but will continue to collect it) or stop collecting information about your visit, depending on the type of opposition you have chosen. This objection requires you to accept that a cookie be placed on your computer by Google Analytics. You can request an objection by clicking on the link provided for this purpose in the part of the Google Analytics website that contains the privacy policy (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

Geolocation services

On our Site, we offer location-based services, in particular via Google Maps.

If you use these (mobile) applications, they may receive information about your current location (similar to GPS signals sent by mobile devices) or other information that can be used to assess your location. You can authorize the activation of the geolocation service and, at any time, you can prevent the application from using the geolocation service.

For more information on Google Maps and its privacy policy, please consult the text of the policy at the following address: Google:http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Retargeting technologies

Our Site uses Internet advertising retargeting technologies. In this way, visitors who are already interested in our products can view our advertisements on partner websites. We believe that displaying personalized advertising based on interests is more interesting than advertising that has no connection with the individual.

We also work with companies that use tracking technologies. These companies provide advertising on our behalf on the Internet. These companies may collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits to our Site and your interaction with any of our communications, including advertising.

Ad retargeting technologies analyze your cookies and display ads based on your Internet behavior. This technology does not record any of your personal information.

You can disable Google’s use of cookies by accessing the Ad Preferences Manager. You can also deactivate the use of cookies by a third-party supplier by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page and the DoubleClick deactivation page.

USE AND RETENTION

The data collected via our Site and any other information otherwise submitted to 9409-9587 Québec Inc. may be used to improve the content of our Site, for marketing research purposes, for statistical purposes, to improve our services or to provide you with information of interest.

We only use data for the purposes for which it was collected. Your consent will be required for the use of your personal information for commercial prospecting purposes other than those mentioned above. You can object to any use of your data, ask for it to be deleted or modified.

9409-9587 Québec Inc. retains the data for a reasonable period of time, either to achieve the objectives set or in accordance with the provisions of the law, after which time it will be destroyed or we will ensure its anonymity.
