Privacy and Data Collection
We are committed to respecting the privacy of individuals visiting this website. The standards below are an integral part of our privacy policy.
We do not automatically collect personal information such as your name, address, phone number, or email address when you visit this website. This information is only collected if you voluntarily provide it when signing up for the email list, submitting an inquiry, or filling out a form on the site.
The personal information you provide is protected under federal privacy law. This means you will be informed about any collection of information about you, the reasons for this collection, and your right to access this information. However, we do collect data about website traffic to improve the site and better meet your needs. No personal information is collected; the data we gather is of a technical nature. For instance, we aim to know:
- The name of your internet service provider;
- The duration of each visit;
- The type of operating system (Windows, OS X, Unix, etc.) you use;
- The type of browser (Chrome, IE, Edge, Firefox, etc.) you use.
Canadians are protected by two federal laws regarding privacy: the Privacy Act and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). PIPEDA is based on the Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information developed by the Canadian Standards Association, which is incorporated into the Act. In Quebec, organizations are subject to the Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector, overseen by the Commission d’accès à l’information.
The following standards are functions of our privacy policy:
-
Accountability: We are responsible for the personal information in our possession. Our Chief Executive Officer is tasked with implementing privacy policies and practices and ensuring compliance.
-
Identifying Purposes for Collection: Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will inform you of the reasons for the collection, how the information will be used, and under what circumstances it may be disclosed.
-
Consent: No personal information about you will be collected, used, or disclosed without your consent.
-
Limiting Collection: Personal information will only be collected if necessary for the identified purposes and only if reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances.
-
Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention of Personal Information: Your personal information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected unless you consent or the law requires it. Information will only be retained as long as necessary to achieve the identified purposes.
-
Accuracy: It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate, complete, and up to date. If you believe it is inaccurate, contact us.
-
Safeguards: Personal information is protected using security measures appropriate to its sensitivity. These safeguards include physical, administrative, and technical measures.
-
Transparency: Any individual may request a copy of this privacy policy.
-
Access to Personal Information: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. You can also challenge its accuracy and completeness and request corrections.

Advertising
We may use external advertising methods for this website. If so, when you visit this website or other websites or online services where we advertise, we collect data related to your activities that will not personally or directly identify you.
This information may include the content you view, the date and time you view it, the products you purchase, or information about your location via your IP address.
We collect this information to provide you with more relevant advertisements—a technique called “retargeting.” For example, we collect information about the site where you viewed our ads and the ads you clicked on.
If external advertising methods are used, online advertising networks with whom we collaborate may place anonymous cookies on your computer or use similar technologies to understand your interests based on your online activities. This allows us to deliver more relevant ads. If you prefer not to receive personalized ads, you can adjust your ad settings to opt-out from most companies involved in such advertising. You will still see ads, but they will not be tailored to you through retargeting.
Additionally, if external advertising methods are used, we will not provide targeted ads based on sensitive personal information, such as your race or ethnicity, political opinions, religious beliefs, union membership, health or mental condition, or sexual preferences. We may target ads only based on data provided by advertisers or partners or by cross-referencing it with data we collect ourselves. All data used for delivering targeted ads is anonymized and not used to identify you personally or directly.
To reach relevant audiences, if external advertising methods are used, we may collaborate with advertising partners who help us recognize you and deliver relevant ads when you visit websites or online services within their networks. We may also work with partners to better recognize you across different devices to deliver relevant ads. These partners may collect information about your activities through this website and other websites or online services in their networks.
Our external partners and we may use session cookies and persistent cookies to enhance your navigation and user experience on this site and monitor and evaluate its performance and usage.
To inquire whether we use external advertising methods, to modify or delete your personal information, or to opt out of receiving future messages, please contact us using the methods below:
