Security Measures and Policy

Limited Duration of Conservation

We retain your information, in digital format, for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information was collected or as long as required or permitted by law. The purpose, nature, and sensitivity of the information have been considered in determining the retention periods.

Parc du Massif du Sud is subject to numerous legal obligations regarding the retention of personal information (for example, under tax laws).

Additionally, we will retain your transactional information for seven years after its execution.

Certain exceptions may apply and require longer retention periods, for example, in the case of disputes or claims. In such cases, your information may be retained for up to ten years. When your information is no longer needed, we strive to securely destroy it.

Storage Locations

Parc du Massif du Sud, its service providers, and other third parties to whom your information is disclosed under this Privacy Policy may conduct activities outside Quebec and Canada. Your information may therefore be used and securely stored in other provinces and countries. In some cases, your information may be subject to the laws and access rights of foreign authorities, including the United States.

Information Security Policy

We make significant efforts to protect your information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, and against any other breach of such information protection.

We are implementing and strengthening a security policy to keep pace with the constantly evolving threats to information security. The measures adopted in our security program include:

  • Limiting the individuals with access to your information. Only employees who need to access your information as part of their work have access to it.
  • Managing passwords and implementing firewalls.
  • Keeping a record of all incidents and taking prompt action to reduce the risk of harm. The Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec and individuals affected by any incident posing a serious risk of harm will be notified as soon as possible if necessary.
  • Complying with the new framework applicable to the disclosure of personal information without the consent of the individual concerned in the context of a commercial transaction or for the purposes of study, research, or statistical production.

You have a role to play in protecting your information. We urge you never to disclose your Réservotron profile password (winter 2024).

Our employees do not have this information and will not ask you for it. Avoid transmitting information in any email.
