1. The type of personal information collected

The Canadian legislation on the protection of personal information defines personal information in a rather general way as information about an "identifiable individual" or as information allowing to identify an individual. The types of personal information that we may collect from you from time to time include: your name, your birthdate, your address, your phone number, your e-mail address, your forwarding address (i.e., during vacation) your previous address/addresses, information concerning the payment (for billing purposes), your mailing preferences (such as "no sample of perfume", "no packaging", etc.), your delivery instructions and service preferences (such as "no solicitation"). Furthermore, every now and then, we may ask you more information about your interests, your profession and your background. For example, we sometimes ask our customers to fill surveys in order to better know them and questions, products and services that may be of interest to them and our readership. Finally, every now and then, we can make the acquisition of demographic and other information concerning you (i.e, on your profession and your interests) from an external organization, but only if you have previously agreed to allow this organization to communicate the information to companies such as SSTenligne.


2. The reasons for the collection of your personal information

We collect your personal information for the purposes indicated below:

(a) In order to provide the product, service or information that you have requested

If you are a customer of one of our trainings, we use your name and address (mailing address and / or email address) to deliver the service or information you requested and to follow up on the transaction (ie, send an invoice, etc.).

(b) In order to process the payment

Your credit card number, your debit card number, or the banking information concerning the payments by automatic debiting are used only for processing payments and introduce you to the various choice of payment, and not for marketing purposes.

SSTenligne may disclose your personal information to a government agency acting within lawful authority to obtain the information or when SSTenligne has reasonable grounds to believe that the information could be useful in the investigation of an illicit activity, or to comply with a subpeona, a warrant or an order of a court or tribunal, of a person or of a competent body requiring the presentation of information, or to comply with the decision of a tribunal concerning the submission of pieces of information.

7. The protection of the privacy and our websites

SSTenligne sometimes collects personal information through its various websites. This clause contains additional information regarding the collection of such personal information.

Cookies - When an individual accesses to the SSTenligne websites, we may use a device of the browser called a "cookie" to collect information as the type of Internet browser and the operating system that the visitor uses, the domain name of the websites from where the visitor comes from, the date and duration of the visit, the number of visits, average time spent on our websites, pages viewed and the number of cookies accumulated. A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that identifies the visitor’s browser (without necessarily identify the latter) to the intention of our computers each time our websites are visited. Unless a visitor specifically informs us (i.e., by enrolling in our services or sending us a message from the websites), we will not know the identity of the visitors. Besides the identified purposes described in our Privacy Protection Policy, we can use this information from our websites and share it with other organizations with whom we have a commercial relationship to measure the use of our websites and to improve the functionality and content. Visitors can reset their browser in order to be notified as soon as they receive a cookie or to refuse cookies. However, when a visitor refuses cookies, he/she may be unable to use some of the features available in our websites.

Online communications - – In order to receive a product, a service or training, visitors to our websites may voluntarily submit their personal information to us for purposes such as questions, requests for information, a subscription to a training, consultation or downloading a video, the participation in contests or surveys. If SSTenligne has identified you as a registered user of an online service, we may combine and store personal information about your use of our websites and the online information you have provided with certain other online and offline that we may have been able to gather.

Communications by e-mail  - Occasionally, there may be instances when we will send you by e-mail communications linked to marketing or of promotional nature containing information that can be useful to you, including information about the products and services of SSTenligne and other third parties with whom we have a commercial relationship. We will include instructions on how to unsubscribe and inform us of your preferences if you decide that you do not want to receive marketing e-mails or of promotional nature in the future from SSTenligne.
Furthermore, if you send us a message by e-mail, we may retain that message and your e-mail address, as well as any response we send you.
Opinion polls  - The opinion polls on our websites are anonymous. We do not correlate between the votes expressed in these surveys and names or e-mail addresses, unless this is expressly indicated at the time of the collection.

Research  - For your convenience, research functions are sometimes provided on our websites. We keep logs in which the terms sought are recorded in order to learn more about the kind of information our visitors are seeking and thus improve our services.

Hyperliens – For your convenience, SSTenligne websites sometimes include hyperlinks to websites managed by third parties. By activating these links, you will leave SSTenligne’s websites for those of third parties, which may be subject of practices and policies for the privacy protection different from those of SSTenligne. SSTenligne disclaims any responsibility for the use of these third-party websites.

Advertising to children  - We believe that none of the websites of SSTenligne does not address directly to children aged 13 years and less. Our ads are not intended knowingly children aged 12 and less, except as authorized by the Act.

Individuals under the age of 18 years  - The individuals under the age of 18 should not provide or display personal information on our websites without the permission of their parents or guardian. In the framework of participation in a contest, we can ask for the name, address, phone number, e-mail address and the date of birth of an individual under the age of 18 years so that we can notify if he/she wins the contest. In this case, we will ask for the consent of a parent or guardian before collecting the information.

No information collected from users under the age of 18 years is used for any marketing or promotional purposes by SSTenligne. Unless otherwise indicated at the time of the collection, we do not provide any personal information collected by the intermediary of a website of SSTenligne on the part of individuals under the age of 18 years, regardless of the source, to any third-party for any reason whatsoever.
