The information we collect
When you access and use the website, Hiatus may collect certain data concerning your use of the website, such as the functionalities used, the sections visited or any other data enabling the operating system of the device you are using to be identified. This data cannot be used to identify you personally. We may use performance tools provided by third parties, such as Google Analytics, to collect information that is not of a personal nature, such as the Internet browser you use, the type of operating system you use, and the domain name from which you were directed to the website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect aggregate statistical data in order to analyze how visitors use a website. These cookies are used to store non-identifiable data. If you do not wish to provide information to Google Analytics, you can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information about Google Analytics and how this third party treats and manages your personal information, you can consult the privacy policy available at http://www.google.com/intl/fr-CA/policies/privacy/.
In addition, when you visit the website, we may place a data file on your device, such as a cookie, pixel tags (very small images) or similar file. These files enable us to store certain information about your use of the website, including the date of your last visit, the pages you visited and the files you downloaded. This enables us to personalize the website to better meet the interests and preferences of our users. These files may also be used by Hiatus for targeted marketing purposes to show you content or advertisements that we think may be of interest to you based on your browsing behavior on the website. You can disable these cookies in the future if you wish by modifying your browser settings.
Hiatus may also collect certain personal information about you, such as your full name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number and credit card information, that you voluntarily provide when using features of the website, such as submitting inquiries, orders and requests for quotes, registering for one of our initiatives or providing us with information regarding problems with the website or services or products provided by Hiatus.
How information is stored and shared
Hiatus stores personal information for a reasonable period of time to allow you appropriate access to the website, to fully respond to your requests and/or process your orders, or to fulfill stated purposes, or as required by law, whichever is longer. After this period, we ensure that personal information is de-identified or destroyed to protect it from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Only authorized and relevant personnel may access data when required for the performance of their duties related to the service, and in accordance with the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy, subject to the following paragraph.
We will never disclose your personal information to anyone outside Hiatus without your consent, except to the following third parties and only if they have implemented appropriate security measures to guarantee at least the same level of security as we do:
Our suppliers whose services have been retained to perform certain functions on our behalf (e.g. data processing and storage, sending communications, payment processing, delivery, etc.). In such cases, we take the necessary steps to ensure that these third parties only have access to the information required to perform the agreed services, that they process your information only for the purposes we have specified, and that they implement personal information protection measures that comply with applicable laws and respect the same conditions and level of protection as those described in this privacy policy.
Any entity resulting from a merger, corporate reorganization or change of control of Hiatus, in whole or in part, only if the parties have signed an agreement stipulating that the collection, use and disclosure of information are limited to the purposes of the business transaction.
Any public authority if required by law, or to defend our rights, or otherwise in accordance with the law. If Hiatus is required to disclose information or provide a copy of such information to a government agency pursuant to law or court order, Hiatus will attempt to provide you with advance notice to the extent permitted by law.
Hyperlinks and third parties
The website may contain sharing or publishing options, or links to third-party websites or platforms. By using or activating these links or features, you leave the website, and your browsing becomes subject to the terms of use and privacy policy of these third parties. We have no control over these third-party platforms, and the fact that they are listed on the website does not make us liable in any way.
Security
All data is stored on servers meeting high security standards and is protected against improper use and access by unauthorized persons. We strive to maintain the necessary physical, administrative and technical security measures in our offices and data storage centers. Information is accessible only to those persons (employees or agents) who need access to the information to perform their duties.
Hiatus uses reasonable means to protect the personal information you provide when using the Website. Specifically, Hiatus uses technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against loss or theft, as well as against unauthorized access and disclosure, both internally and externally to our organization. However, no security mechanism is perfect, and you should be aware that there is always a risk of a security breach. Hiatus accepts no responsibility for the disclosure of such information, except in cases of negligence on the part of Hiatus. It should be noted that, to reduce the risk of security breaches, no credit card information is stored on the servers used to host the website.
All data collected in connection with your use of the website is generally stored on servers located in Canada. However, data may be processed by Hiatus’ third-party service providers located outside Canada to enable them to perform work on Hiatus’ behalf. In such cases, Hiatus takes reasonable steps to ensure that such third parties are bound by appropriate safeguards.
Your rights
You have the right to know the purpose for which Hiatus collects and processes your personal information, as well as the right to access, update and correct it. You may withdraw your consent to the use and storage of your personal information by Hiatus at any time. However, if you do so, you may no longer be able to use certain features of the website.
