1. Objectives of the privacy policy :

Respect for privacy and the protection of personal information are essential to us, which is why, through this Policy, we intend to protect personal information in accordance with applicable laws.

In order to ensure this protection, Élite gestion parasitaire inc. will only collect, process and share personally identifiable information with the consent of the individual, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be required.

The purpose of this Policy is to inform users of why and how Elite Pest Management Inc. or anyone acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is intended to be in plain language to ensure informed consent from users.

For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” means any information about an identifiable individual or information that allows an individual to be identified. Wherever possible, we will anonymize, pseudonymize and/or aggregate such information so that it no longer identifies an individual.

2. Effective date

This Policy applies as of January 1, 2024.

This Policy replaces the Privacy Policy as of [01/01/2024].

3. Procedures for obtaining consent

We are committed to obtaining consent prior to collecting personal information from an individual. Consent may be express or implied, and may be provided directly by the individual or by his or her authorized representative.

We prefer to obtain express consent, whether verbally, electronically or in writing. However, implied consent may be reasonably inferred from a person’s action or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication, or a name and telephone number to obtain an answer to a question, is considered implied consent to the collection of information containing personal information. In determining the appropriate type of consent, we take into account the sensitivity of the personal information involved, the purposes for which it is collected and the reasonable expectations of a similarly situated individual.

If we want to use personal information for a new purpose, we will describe the intended use and ask for consent again.

It is not always possible, particularly in the case of government requests, to obtain consent for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information. We will never disclose such information other than in accordance with this Policy, except as required or permitted by law.

7. The treatment processes used

Élite gestion parasitaire inc. attaches the utmost importance to the security of your personal information and undertakes to process it in accordance with industry standards and norms, solely for the purposes for which it is collected, as described in this policy or in a specific notice to that effect. However, given the inherent security limitations of transmission via the Internet, it is impossible to safeguard your personal information absolutely. Information transmitted to us is therefore ultimately at the user’s own risk.

8. Access to and control of personal information

Élite gestion parasitaire inc. ensures that all personal information in its possession is as accurate, current and complete as necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.

You have the right to request access to your personal information for verification purposes and to request a correction if your personal information is inaccurate. If you believe that your personal information is inaccurate, or if you wish to access your personal information, you may make a request using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy.

To the best of our ability, we will provide you with timely access to your personal information. However, for security reasons, we may need to verify your identity.

In addition, there may be circumstances where we will not be able to provide you with access to your personal information. In particular, when access may lead to the disclosure of another person’s personal information and that person refuses to consent to its disclosure, or when legal restrictions apply. Should such a situation arise, we will advise 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.

9. Sharing and reason for sharing personal information with third parties

We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or people outside of Élite Gestion Parasitaire inc. , with the exception of our suppliers and authorized partners who need to have access to the information for the purposes listed in this policy and within the limits thereof, as well as in the following cases:

  • With your consent.
  • For storage in cloud servers, in which case personal information could pass through third party jurisdictions. Please note that we only use the services of reputable companies with privacy policies.
  • For external processing purposes: We transmit personal information to other companies or trusted persons who process it on our behalf, according to our instructions, in accordance with this privacy policy, with at least an equivalent degree of data security ours and in compliance with any other appropriate security and confidentiality measures.

In particular, we use the services of third-party providers to pool, clean and analyze data in the culture sector so that they can promote this data and develop tools for the benefit of the public or players in the sector. To do this, these providers process the information provided in the following manner:

The data is first prepared and then classified for use.

From the prepared data, the provider creates aggregate statistics that contain general, non-personal information, sometimes combined with data from similar sources. These shared data are then used to establish global statistics such as provenance analyzes (mainly via postal codes) but also seasonality analyzes or even price analyzes (shopping basket type).

This data is then enriched using two different processes. The first is enrichment through the use of freely accessible third-party data, such as socio-demographic data issued by the Census via the postal code. The second process is called inference enrichment. Enrichment by inference consists, for example, in the context of purchasing a ticket at the “under 25s” rate, of deducing that the individual concerned is under 25 years old.

For legal reasons: We transmit personal information outside of our company if access to it is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Elite pest management inc. undertakes not to sell or rent your personal information to any third party.
