Vivre en Ville; an association for sustainable urban, rural and village development, a non-profit organization ("Vivre en Ville," "our", "we") takes your privacy and the protection of your Personal Information seriously. This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") describes our privacy practices, the types of Personal Information we may receive or collect from you and how we use, disclose, store and secure it so that you can make informed choices.
This Policy applies to our website, available at registredesloyers.quebec (the "Registry"). However, the rights and obligations described in this Policy do not cover third-party websites that may be linked to or mentioned on the Registry. These third-party websites have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to read them carefully.
For the purposes of this Policy, "Personal Information" means any information about an identifiable individual, including information that can be used alone or in combination with other information to identify, contact or locate a single individual. Personal Information generally does not include business contact information, such as your name, title or business contact information.
The Personal Information we collect may include, but is not limited to:
Generally, we collect the Personal Information we need directly from you, for example, when you complete the Registry submission form or contact us. However, we may also collect information about your use of the Registry, including technical information about your visits, the average length of visit, action taken on the Registry, the type of device used or any other information collected through cookies or pixels. For more information, please read the "How we use cookies."
We generally collect your Personal Information with your consent unless the law provides an exception to this principle (for example, to comply with our legal obligations, where necessary, to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim or proceeding).
You have the right, if you wish, to refuse the processing of your Personal Information. You may also, at any time, and subject to reasonable notice and any applicable legal or contractual restrictions, withdraw your consent (if any) to the processing of your Personal Information in our possession by contacting us. However, if you choose not to provide us with your Personal Information, this may prevent you, for example, from using certain features of the Registry, as this information is sometimes essential to such uses. If you have any questions, you can contact us as indicated in the "How to contact us" section.
Vivre en Ville generally collects your Personal Information to:
(collectively, the "Purposes").
If you consented to receive such information, Vivre en Ville might send you newsletters, electronic messages such as e-mails, news, updates and/or other written communications ("Messages") about Vivre en Ville's services and/or its partners' products and services. You may choose not to receive Messages in the manner indicated in the "Contact Us" section or through the unsubscribe link included in Messages. However, Vivre en Ville may continue to send you Messages to validate your submission to the Registry, to inform you of the expiration of your submissions, of critical technical issues related to the Registry, or to provide you with important information about your submission (if any).
Depending on the circumstances, Vivre en Ville may also aggregate and anonymize the Personal Information you have provided to create statistical data that Vivre en Ville may use for secondary purposes, to improve the Registry, to examine trends, to develop knowledge concerning the development of territories, to respond to statistical requests from some of our partners or to otherwise respond to requests for information by partner researchers. This statistical data does not include any Personal Information.
Vivre en Ville does not rent or sell your Personal Information to third parties and will not share it with third parties without your consent unless required by law or for the reasons set out below.
In the course of their work, our employees may need access to your Personal Information, for example, when you contact us or request assistance. However, their access is limited to what is necessary to perform their duties.
Vivre en Ville may share your Personal Information with its partners to facilitate its activities, such as developers and service providers (e.g. hosting). Our service providers may access your Personal Information for a limited time in connection with these activities. Where Vivre en Ville uses third parties to process any Personal Information, Vivre en Ville endeavours to implement commercially reasonable contractual and technical protections to ensure that such third parties keep strictly confidential any Personal Information they process. Please note that these third parties may not be located in your geographic location. In such cases, Vivre en Ville takes commercially reasonable steps, as described below in the section "Where is your Personal Information hosted and transferred?".
We may also share your Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (i) conform to the law; (ii) conform to the order of a competent judicial authority in any jurisdiction; (iii) conform to legal process served on Vivre en Ville; (iv) protect and defend the rights or property of Vivre en Ville ; (v) enforce or verify your compliance with any agreement you have entered into with Vivre en Ville, if any; (vi) prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Registry; or (vii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Registry users or the general public.
We may share your Personal Information without your consent when our business transactions require it. In such circumstances, we may also share some or all of your Personal Information with the relevant third party (or its advisors) for a due diligence process.
If you have expressly consented, your Personal Information may be shared with other third parties. For example, there may be specific cases where additional conditions apply, and through these, we make it clear that specific third parties are processing your Personal Information.
We may include links on the Registry to third-party sites or services we do not control, for example, if you use an integrated Google feature or social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). These third parties may share certain information about you with us. You may also be able to share Registry content on social networking platforms. If you click on one of these links, you will be directed to sites we do not control. Please read the privacy policies of those sites, applications or platforms that may collect Personal Information to understand their privacy policies and Personal Information collection practices.
Vivre en Ville may hold your Personal Information in jurisdictions other than your province, territory or country of residence, including Canada, the United States and the province of Quebec. Vivre en Ville may also outsource the processing of, or share your Personal Information with, third parties in jurisdictions other than your province, territory or country of residence. In such cases, we try to limit access to Personal Information by third parties to what is necessary to perform the tasks entrusted to them. Please remember that we also strive to establish contractual agreements with these agents and service providers to ensure the confidentiality and security of your Personal Information. This may include implementing robust and adequate security measures. In addition, Vivre en Ville will ensure that your Personal Information is adequately protected by appropriate technical, organizational or other legal means. If you would like more information about these security measures, please get in touch with us as indicated in the "How to contact us" section.
Personal Information will be retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the Purposes or as required by law. At the end of this period, we endeavour to destroy or anonymize such information. In determining the appropriate retention period for your Personal Information, we take into account the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm arising from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the Purposes for which we process your Personal Information and the possibility of achieving those Purposes by other means, as well as applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements. If you would like more information on this subject, please contact us.
Vivre en Ville has implemented security measures to protect your Personal Information. The standard security measures we use depend on the type of information collected. However, Vivre en Ville uses electronic, physical and procedural safeguards to protect your Personal Information. We encourage you to use caution when using the Internet, including not sharing your passwords. If you believe that an unauthorized submission has been made using your e-mail, please get in touch with us as indicated in the "How to Contact Us" section.
