By browsing our website or using our systems or services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy and consent to your data and personal information being processed in accordance with it, as applicable. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies we do not own or control, or to individuals we do not employ or manage.

1. Objectives of the Privacy Policy:
Respecting privacy and protecting personal information are essential to us. Through this Policy, we aim to safeguard these in accordance with applicable laws.
To ensure this protection, Parachutisme Adrénaline Trois-Rivières commits to collecting, processing, and sharing information that identifies an individual only when consented to by the individual, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be necessary.
The Policy aims to inform users about the reasons and manner in which Parachutisme Adrénaline Trois-Rivières, or anyone acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is designed to be in clear language to ensure users’ informed consent.

2. Effective Date:
This Policy comes into effect as of September 1st, 2023.
3. Consent Collection Methods:
We prioritize obtaining explicit consent, whether verbally, electronically, or in writing. However, implicit consent may be reasonably inferred from a person’s actions or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication, or a name and phone number to receive a response to a query, is considered implicit consent to the collection of information containing personal details. To determine the appropriate type of consent, we consider the sensitivity of the personal information involved, the purposes for which it is collected, and the reasonable expectations of a person in a similar situation.
It is not always feasible, particularly in the context of a state request, to obtain a person’s consent to collect, use, or disclose their personal information. We commit to never disclosing such information, except as required or permitted by law, and always in compliance with this Policy.

6. Processing Methods Used
Parachutisme Adrénaline Trois-Rivières places utmost importance on the security of your personal information and is committed to processing it in accordance with industry standards and norms, solely for the purposes for which they are collected as described in this policy or in a specific notice for this purpose. However, absolute safeguarding of this information is impossible due to the inherent security limitations of transmission over the Internet. Therefore, the information transmitted to us is ultimately at the user’s own risk.
7. Access and Control of Personal Information
Parachutisme Adrénaline Trois-Rivières ensures that all personal information in its possession is as accurate, current, and complete as necessary for the purposes for which they are used.
You have the right to request access to your personal information for verification purposes and to request correction if they are inaccurate. If you believe your personal information is inaccurate or if you wish to access your personal information, you can make a request using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy.
To the best of our abilities, we will provide you with timely access to your personal information. However, for security purposes, we may need to verify your identity.
Furthermore, there may be circumstances where we cannot provide you with access to your personal information. Specifically, when access may lead to the disclosure of another person’s personal information and that person refuses to consent to the disclosure, or when legal restrictions apply. If such a situation arises, we will notify you of the reason why we cannot provide you with access to your personal information.
If your request concerns data appearing on third-party web pages or platforms, please contact these third parties directly.
You also have the right to withdraw your consent. To do so, please also use the contact information provided at the end of this Policy. Please note, however, that if you refuse to allow our organization to collect certain essential personal information, we may not be able to provide you with the requested products or services. Please also note that if the service has already been provided to you, there is a limit to what we can do regarding information already collected with your consent (for example, you will likely appear in various multimedia files already produced).
In the event of a data breach involving your personal information, we commit to notifying you and informing the Commission d’Accès à l’Information du Québec. We have implemented a specific protocol in the event of a data-related incident.
8. Sharing and Reasons for Sharing Personal Information with Third Parties
