This page is intended to inform you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information provided by users of the Site. This Privacy Policy applies to the entire Site as well as to all products and services we offer. The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform users of our Site about the Personal Information we may collect and how such information is used and managed.

Applicable legislation

While using our Site, you may be asked to provide certain personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, mailing address, and telephone number (collectively referred to as “Personal Information”). This Personal Information may be used to contact or identify you. However, you may choose to visit our Site anonymously.

Your Personal Information may be used to send you newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any or all such communications from us by following the unsubscribe instructions included in every email we send.

Disclosure of information to third parties

We undertake not to sell, trade, or transfer your Personal Information to third parties without your consent, except for the explicit purpose of delivering the product or service you have requested. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving you, provided that they agree to keep such information confidential.

Business transactions

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving the Conseil de presse, your Personal Information may be transferred. We will notify you in advance of any transfer of your Personal Information, and such information may become subject to a different privacy policy.

Disclosure required by law

The Conseil de presse may disclose your Personal Information where required to do so by law or pursuant to a subpoena. We may also disclose such information if we believe such action is necessary to comply with the law, respond to lawful requests by public authorities, or protect the security and integrity of our Site.

Retention of personal information

Personal Information will not be stored or retained longer than necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

Security measures

We have implemented a variety of security measures to maintain the security of your Personal Information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your information. We use a secure server to ensure the confidentiality of your information. Credit card information provided by you is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and is then encrypted in the databases of payment gateway providers.

Only authorized individuals with special access rights to such systems may access this information and are required to keep it confidential. We do not retain your Personal Information, such as credit card details, financial information, or similar data on our servers once a transaction has been completed.

We place great importance on the security of your Personal Information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is ever 100% secure. While we implement commercially acceptable security measures to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Links to other sites

Our Site may contain links to websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of every website you visit. The Conseil de presse has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.

Protection of minors

Any individual under the age of 14 is considered a minor in Canada within the meaning of Bill 25. Our Site is not intended for minors. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 14.

If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. Upon discovery, any Personal Information provided by a person under the age of 14 will be immediately deleted from our servers.

You have the right to access the Personal Information we have collected about you at any time. You have the right to update or correct any Personal Information we hold about you, to the extent permitted by law.
