Atelier Gérard Beaulieu Inc. ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This statement explains what we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over it. It applies to this website and to any information you provide to us.

1. Information we collect

We collect personal information only when you choose to send it to us through one of the forms on this website. When you browse the site, we also collect limited technical information.

• Contact, quote request and product inquiry forms: your name and email address and, where the form asks for them, your phone number, company name, mailing address and preferred language, along with the product you are asking about and the content of your message.
• Job and internship applications: your name, email address, phone number, résumé and message, and the information you provide about your qualifications and eligibility to work, such as your education, work experience, languages and language test results, credential assessment, work permit status (and a copy of your permit, if you provide one), housing needs, and the details of the internship you are seeking.
• Usage and technical data: information such as your approximate location, browser type, device type, the pages you view, and how you arrived at our site. This is collected through Google Analytics, and only if you accept analytics cookies (see the Cookies section below).
• Your preferences: your language choice and your cookie-consent selections, so the site can remember them on your next visit.

2. Why we use your information

We use the information described above to:

• Respond to your inquiry or quote request and communicate with you about it.
• Review your job or internship application and contact you about it.
• Understand how visitors use this website so we can improve its content, navigation, and performance (through Google Analytics).
• Remember your language and cookie-consent preferences.
• Protect our forms from spam and abuse, and maintain the security and proper operation of this website.
• Meet our obligations under applicable privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Law 25).

3. Consent

By providing your information to AGB, you consent to its collection and use for the purposes above. Where the law requires explicit, written, or separate consent for a specific use, we will ask for it. You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting our Privacy Officer (section 8). Withdrawing consent may limit our ability to deliver the services you have asked for.

4. Disclosure to third parties

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information only:

• With the service providers that deliver and store the emails sent through our website forms, which access your information only as needed to provide that service and are bound by appropriate confidentiality terms.
• With Google reCAPTCHA, which checks form submissions to protect them from spam and abuse. Google's handling of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• With Google Analytics, which processes technical data to help us understand website traffic and usage patterns, and only if you accept analytics cookies. Google's handling of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• With the service provider that hosts this website, which accesses information only as needed to operate and maintain the site and is bound by appropriate confidentiality terms.
• Where required or permitted by law, including in response to a lawful request from a public authority.

This website links to external sites. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for how they handle your information. We encourage you to review their policies.

5. Where your information is stored

Your information is stored in Canada whenever possible. Some of our service providers, including the services that deliver and store the emails sent through our website forms and our web analytics provider, may process or store information outside Canada, for example in the United States. Where this happens, the information is subject to the laws of the country where it is processed, including lawful access by authorities in that country.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser. We group cookies into two categories:

• Necessary cookies are required for the site to work, for example to remember your language choice and your consent preferences. Google reCAPTCHA, which protects our forms from spam and abuse, is also included in this category. These are always on and cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics 4, which does not log or store IP addresses. These cookies are off by default.

Analytics cookies are loaded only after you accept them. Until you make a choice, only necessary cookies run, and Google Consent Mode keeps Google's advertising and analytics storage turned off.

You can change your choices at any time by clicking Cookie preferences in the footer. Clearing your cookies will reset your preferences and the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.

7. How long we keep your information

We keep your information only as long as we need it for the purposes described in this statement and to meet any record retention obligations that apply to us. Records are retained for seven (7) years, after which they are destroyed or anonymized in a secure manner. Website analytics data is retained for fourteen (14) months.

8. Your rights and our Privacy Officer

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Withdraw your consent and ask us to stop using your information.
• Receive a copy of your information in a structured format, where the law requires it.
• File a complaint about how we have handled your information.

To exercise any of these rights, or to ask any question about this statement, please contact our Privacy Officer:

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact either of the following:

• Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada: priv.gc.ca/en
• Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec: cai.gouv.qc.ca

9. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we maintain the safeguards expected of a responsible organization.

10. Changes to this statement

We may update this statement from time to time. The current version is always available on this website and the date of the most recent update is shown below.
