The collection of personal information

Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing may ask you to provide personal information when you register as a user and create a username, when you make a purchase, and each time you communicate with Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing or one of its affiliates. Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing and its affiliates may share this personal information with each other and use it in accordance with this privacy policy. They may also combine it with other information to provide and improve products, services, content, and advertising.

Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing requests that users provide demographic information and contact details, such as their first and last name, email address, mailing address, city of residence, telephone number, date of birth, communication preferences, credit card information, and other details or preferences. This personal information is necessary for you to fully benefit from our services and participate in activities, offers, and promotions on our website.

Personal information is collected when you create your account, order a service or product from Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes or one of our collaborators; when you submit or post content on a discussion forum, participate in a draw or contest sponsored by Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes or one of our collaborators, fill out a form or survey; when you give your opinion, send us your comments or to one of our collaborators, request information about any of our services; when you submit an admission agreement, apply for a job, submit a video or subscribe to special offers from us or one of our partners on our website.

Furthermore, when you place an order for goods or services, we will ask you to provide your credit card information: that is, the card type, number, expiry date, security code, and other details required to process your credit card payment. Some information is required, while other information is optional, depending on the activity. If you refuse to provide the absolutely necessary information, you will be unable to proceed with the current activity.

Uses of your personal information

The personal information that identifies you is used to provide you with services or goods, to send you newsletters, coupon offers or promotions, and information about our services or those of our partners; to provide you with personalized service; to notify you when you win a prize; to improve the performance of our website; to enhance our promotional and marketing efforts; to evaluate the use of our website; to improve our service offerings and products; and to tailor your experience with other parties. For example, if you send an email to customer service, we may use your feedback to promote our services to others or display your comment in our promotional materials or on our website.

Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing accepts, and may even ask, its users to send messages about its services and special offers to their acquaintances and friends, particularly to increase their chances of winning a contest. If a friend uses our referral service, we will typically send them an email inviting them to view our promotions, subscribe to our website, participate in our contests, or simply visit our site.

Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing has no control over who receives these emails, and if you no longer wish to receive them, simply click the unsubscribe link in each email. Furthermore, if you use Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing to send products or information to a third party, we may retain your information and that of any recipient; in addition, we may use the recipient’s information to allow them to view the information, accept the offered product, and access the information, all according to your sending request.

We may also use your personal information to resolve problems or disputes, perform administrative tasks, communicate with you, or fulfill our commitments to you. This naturally includes our privacy policy and website terms of use. This personal information may also be used to investigate fraudulent activity or abuse by a member of our website.

Disclosure of personal information

Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing will not sell or rent your personal information to anyone except as provided in this privacy policy or by agreement. When you make a purchase, Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing will share some of your personal information with affiliated companies and other parties, only when necessary, such as to fulfill the service you have chosen.

We will share your personal and identifiable information with affiliated companies if you participate in an activity requiring identification. In this case, your information will only be shared with the affiliated company involved in that identification activity. Furthermore, we will limit the use of this personal information to the purposes designated for it and related to the privacy policy. For example, if you purchase a promotional coupon, we may share the necessary data with the relevant merchant, including your name, email address, and city of residence, to provide the ordered service or product; or, in the case of a coupon purchased for the benefit of another person, that other person’s personal information.

In certain cases, Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes may disclose personal information, particularly when we have reason to believe that such disclosure is necessary, either to identify or contact an individual, or to take legal action if we believe they are violating Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes’ terms of use or if they are interfering with the rights of Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes or those of other users of Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes may also share or access your personal information if it believes, in good faith, that it is required to do so by law; in the same way that it would do so for administrative purposes or other uses it deems necessary to maintain good service or improve its products and services.

Public information

We may have spaces on our website where you can post information about yourself, communicate with other users, share your opinions on products or other topics, and submit media content. This information can be seen by individuals and companies, and may appear in web searches or on other websites: this means that this information can be read, copied, and used by anyone! Therefore, if your email address is displayed in a comment, you may receive unsolicited emails. Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes has no control over the users who read your comments or how they use the information you voluntarily post. Please be careful about the personal information you choose to share.

Witnesses and other technologies

In order to provide personalized and unique services, Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes may use non-personal information. This non-personal information is information that identifies a user of our website but does not allow direct association with a specific individual. This type of information includes the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the website visited before arriving at our site, as well as the URL of the website you will visit after leaving our site; the type of browser you are using; and your IP (Internet Protocol) address.

Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing, its service providers, and its advertisers may automatically collect this non-personal information when you visit a website and use digital tools such as web beacons, cookies, and tracking pixels. We use non-personal information for troubleshooting, trend analysis, website administration, demographic research, and to comply with applicable laws and cooperate with law enforcement agencies. We may also disclose this non-personal information to evaluate the overall effectiveness of our digital advertising, programming, or content with all our service providers and advertisers.

A cookie is a piece of information sent to your browser; this information originates from a web server and is stored on your hard drive to track and target your interests in order to personalize your experience. Cookies also allow us to collect non-personal information, such as your geographic location, the web pages you visit, and the hyperlinks you click. Using this non-personal information allows us to provide a more enjoyable experience for all our visitors.

Advertisers on the Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes website also have the right to use their own cookies. Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes cannot access or control these cookies. Our privacy policy only applies to cookies used by Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes, and not to the use of cookies by advertisers. Almost all web browsers allow you to limit the acceptance of cookies: simply modify your privacy settings. However, if cookies are blocked, certain sections and services of Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes will not be available.

Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes may also collect IP addresses in order to administer the system, communicate information to its advertisers, prevent fraud and abuse, investigate them and take appropriate action if necessary.

Other standard technologies may be used to track the use of our promotional advertisements and web pages, such as web beacons and tracking pixels; we may allow our service providers to use these technologies on our behalf. These technologies, which are very small images, are placed on some web pages and in the emails we send you to determine if you have taken a particular action. When you visit these pages or read an email, the tracking pixels and web beacons provide non-personal information about that action. These tracking pixels help us better understand our visitors and how they use our website, as well as measure our performance and the success of our promotions. In addition, we may use web beacons and tracking pixels provided by our marketing members and partners for the same purpose.

We treat all information collected through cookies and other technologies as non-personal information: that is, data in a format that does not allow direct association with a specific individual. However, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we will treat the combined information as personal information under this Privacy Policy. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose.

Sale and rental of personal information

Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing will not sell or rent personal information that could identify its members or customers to third parties for marketing purposes, except as provided in our privacy policy or by agreement. Furthermore, we will not share any personal information without prior notice, unless required to do so by law. However, Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing may occasionally make certain personal information available to strategic partners who work with Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing to provide or market products and services. This personal information will be disclosed by Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing solely for the purpose of providing or improving our products, services, and advertising; it will not be shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes makes it easy for you to keep your personal information accurate, complete, and up-to-date. We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Access to personal information

We act in good faith and strive to provide you with access to request the correction or deletion of inaccurate data, unless Les Éditions Blainville Deux-Montagnes is legally required to retain it or has legitimate business purposes to do so. We may refuse to process requests that are unduly repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or are not otherwise required by local law. Requests for access, correction, and deletion can be submitted to the following email address: info@rabaischocs.com

Blainville Deux-Montagnes Publishing contains numerous hyperlinks to other websites. Please note that we are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of any websites other than our own.
