The Privacy Policy applies to personal data collected as part of all of our operations, with the exception of personal data that we collect about our employees, ex-employees and candidates for employment with us.

Please read the Privacy Policy carefully before sharing any personal data with us.
Keep in mind that you remain responsible for the protection of your personal data when you consult content on other third-party websites. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to the collection, use, sharing or storage of your personal data by other websites, even if some of the links on our Site may allow you to access content on third-party websites. We encourage you to read the personal data protection notices or policies governing these third parties.
The Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. By visiting the Site, you accept the most recent version published on the Site.

In addition, before sharing your personal data outside of Québec, we always carry out a privacy impact assessment, primarily to evaluate the inherent risks involved in sharing the data and the applicable legal regime in the country to which your personal data will be sent.
Security measures and Privacy Incident management
