OBJECTIVES

Your satisfaction and respect for your privacy guide the conduct of our daily activities. Consequently, we have adopted the Policy on Confidentiality and Privacy Protection (the “Policy”) to ensure that we fulfill our responsibilities in this area. The Policy is one of the pillars of the privacy protection program. This program aims to ensure compliance with the legal framework established by the Act to modernize legislative provisions relating to the protection of personal information, LQ 2021. The Policy sets out NAC3 lab’s commitments to the protection of your privacy and aims to establish and maintain your trust in our practices in this area. It is therefore for the purpose of transparency that we communicate the Policy to you.​

 

SCOPE

The Policy governs how NAC3 lab processes the personal information of its clients, candidates for positions posted on its website and any other person, regardless of the medium on which this information is found: paper document, sound recording or database, for example. However, the Policy does not apply to personal information that is public in nature under the law. ​

 

DEFINITION

This is information that concerns a natural person and that allows that person to be identified. For example, your employment history, bank account numbers or communications preferences constitute personal information that concerns you. ​

 

IMPLEMENTATION

The members of the NAC3 lab team are informed of the existence of the Policy. They are made aware so that everyone understands the principles underlying the Policy and ensures that they are applied in the course of their duties.​ In accordance with the privacy principles set out in the Policy, we adopt the practices and measures required to fulfill our responsibilities in this area on a daily basis. In this way, we demonstrate that we attach great importance to protecting your privacy.

 

COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We mainly collect your personal information directly from you, including:

 

- when you communicate with us;

- when you use our website.

 

We collect and use your personal information in order to carry out the mission entrusted to us, including to:

​

- communicate with you;

- offer useful information and content for you and promote our services;

- comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

 

We only collect the personal information that is necessary for the purposes intended. We use your personal information for the purposes indicated. However, we may wish to use your personal information for other purposes. In such cases, we will ask for your consent beforehand. It is important, however, that you know that the law allows us to use your personal information without your consent in certain situations.

 

OUR SECURITY MEASURES IN PLACE

In order to provide you with the best service through best practices, we implement generally accepted security standards in the field to protect your personal information for the entire period in which we have it in our possession. When we decide on the measures to apply, we ensure that they are reasonable, taking into account certain factors, including the sensitivity of the personal information in question and the context in which it is used.

 

The security measures we take fall into three main categories:

1 - Technological security measures Examples: firewalls, access privilege management and encryption of information.

2 - Physical security measures Examples: locking of filing cabinets and restrictions on access to premises.

3 - Organizational security measures Examples: policies, procedures, training and awareness in information security and reliability and integrity audits.

 

We periodically review these security measures to ensure that they are properly implemented, that they are still fully effective and that they are still appropriate given the evolution of our systems and information technologies. If you have reason to believe that your personal information has been compromised, please contact our team: catherine.duclos@umontreal.ca We keep your personal information for as long as we use it to conduct our activities and provide you with services. If you have any questions about the retention period applicable to a particular situation, do not hesitate to contact our team: catherine.duclos@umontreal.ca ​

 

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to access your personal information. In such a case, only you can exercise this right, unless you consent to your personal information being disclosed to a third party. Furthermore, if you believe that we hold inaccurate, incomplete or ambiguous personal information about you, or if you believe that we have collected, used, communicated or retained it in violation of the Access Act, you have the right to request that this information be rectified or that the collection, use, communication or retention that you consider to be contrary to the law cease. However, the law provides for certain grounds that restrict the exercise of these rights. If you send us a request to this effect, we may require that you identify yourself and provide proof of identity to ensure that the request actually comes from you. Please also feel free to send any request: Concerning your personal information as a client or concerning your personal information as a candidate for a position posted on our website. However, please note that you can at any time send your request for access or rectification in writing to Catherine Duclos, at catherine.duclos@umontreal.ca. ​
