Privacy Policy

Prestilux Inc. (collectively, “Prestilux“, “we“, “us” and “our“), is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. Since it is possible for us to obtain information about you through our website available at prestilux.com (the “Website“), we believe it is important for you to understand how we collect and use this personal information. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy“) therefore describes how Prestilux collects, uses, hosts, secures and/or discloses the personal information you provide to us when you visit the Website, or otherwise submit personal information to Prestilux through the Website. The Policy does not apply to other websites that you may visit or use, including through hyperlinks provided on our Website. Personal information collected or transmitted is then subject to the privacy policy of these external sites. It is your responsibility to ensure that your Personal Information is protected.

 

Personal information

For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” means information about an identifiable individual, including information that can be used alone or in combination with other information to identify that individual directly or indirectly. In general, personal information does not include business contact information, such as your name, title or business contact information.

 

Type of personal information collected.

The personal information we collect may include, but is not limited to:

Generally, we collect the personal information we need directly from you, for example, when you use the Web site or contact us. We may also collect information about your use of the Web site, including technical information about your visits, average length of visit, action taken on the Web site or other information collected through the use of cookies. For more information in this regard, please read the “Cookies” section.

 

With your consent

We generally collect your personal information with your consent, unless applicable law provides an exception to this principle (for example, to comply with our legal obligations, where necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim or proceeding).

 

Refusal and withdrawal of consent

You have the right, if you wish, to refuse the processing of your personal information. You may also, at any time, and subject to reasonable notice and any applicable legal or contractual restrictions, withdraw your consent (if any) to the processing of your personal information in our possession by contacting us. You should be aware, however, that if you choose not to provide us with your personal information, this may prevent you, for example, from using the website, as this information is essential to such use. You can contact us as indicated in the “Contact us” section if you have any questions on this subject.

 

Use of personal information

In general, any personal information you provide to us is used to process your request for information or employment and to respond to you. We also use the personal information you provide to us to provide you with access to the Web site and to make your visit to our Web site more enjoyable. We may also use personal information over the longer term to add personalized features to our Web site or to ensure that content matches the interests of our users. We may also use your personal information for any other purposes that we identify from time to time and that are permitted by law.

In addition, we may use your personal information to send you newsletters or promotional offers in order to provide you with the best possible service if you have consented to this. You may choose not to receive these newsletters and promotional offers in the manner indicated in the “Contact us” section or via the unsubscribe link included in these mailings. However, Prestilux may continue to send you messages to inform you of available upgrades or critical technical issues related to the website.

Depending on the circumstances, Prestilux may also aggregate and anonymize the personal information you have provided, in order to create statistical data that we may use to improve the website, examine user interests, or train machine learning algorithms. Prestilux may also share this information with its third-party partners. This statistical data does not include any personal information.

 

Sharing personal information with third parties

We do not share your personal information with third parties unless we have your consent or are required to do so by law. In particular, we may share your personal information with the following categories of persons:

 

Our employees

In the course of their work, our employees may need access to your personal information, for example, when you contact us or request assistance. Their access is limited to what is necessary for the performance of their duties.

 

Our strategic partners

Prestilux may share your personal information with its strategic partners to facilitate its activities, such as developers and hosting service providers. In the course of these activities, these partners may have access to and use your personal information for a limited period of time. Where Prestilux engages third parties to process any personal information, Prestilux endeavours to implement commercially reasonable contractual and technical protections to ensure that such third parties keep all personal information they process strictly confidential. Please note that these third parties may not be located in your geographical area. In such cases, Prestilux takes commercially reasonable steps, as described below in the section “Hosting and Transfer of Personal Information“.

 

Potential buyers and investors

We may share your personal information without your authorization when our operations require it (in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or sale of assets, for example). In such circumstances, we may also share some or all of your personal information with the relevant third party (or its advisors) for the purposes of a due diligence process.

 

Third-party services and platforms 

We may include links on the website to third-party sites or services that we do not control, for example, if you use an integrated Google feature or social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). These third parties may share certain information about you with us. Your activities on the website may be displayed on social networking platforms. If you click on one of these links, you will be directed to sites that we do not control. Please read the privacy policies of those sites, applications or platforms that may collect personal information to understand their privacy policies and personal information collection practices. This Policy applies only to personal information processed by or on behalf of Prestilux.

When you browse the website, we use elements of your browser known as “cookie(s)” which may be deposited on your device (computer, tablet or phone) in order to recognize your computer. A “cookie” is a small data file that is written to your hard drive when you visit a website. These files make it easier for you to navigate the site. Other tracking technologies, such as Web beacons and tracking pixels, may be used for similar purposes. In this Policy, all such tracking technologies are collectively referred to as “cookie(s)”. Only the issuer of the cookie file is able to read it.

 

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary for the operation of the website and cannot be disabled in our systems. Strictly necessary cookies must be present for the website to provide basic functions. They also allow a user to navigate from one page to another without losing previous actions from the same session.

Hosting and transfer of personal information 

Your personal information may be stored by Prestilux in locations other than your province or territory of residence, including Quebec and the United States. Prestilux may also subcontract the processing of your personal information or share it with third parties located elsewhere, including in places other than your province or territory of residence. However, we strive to protect personal information in our custody, including personal information entrusted to an agent or service provider, whether they are located in Canada, the United States or other jurisdictions or countries. In particular, we strive to limit their access to personal information to that which is necessary to perform the tasks entrusted to them. Please be aware that we also endeavor to put in place contractual agreements with our suppliers to ensure an adequate level of protection for personal information. This may include implementing robust and effective security measures, such as conducting Privacy Impact Assessments. If you would like further information about these security measures, please contact us.

 

Retention of personal information 

Personal information will be retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law. At the end of this period, we endeavour to destroy or anonymize such information. In determining the appropriate retention period for your personal information, we take into account the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm arising from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and the possibility of achieving those purposes by other means, as well as applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements. If you would like more information on this subject, please contact us.

 

Collection of personal information from children

The Web site is not intended for use by persons under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen, except with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. If you believe that personal information has been collected from children under the age of 13 without your prior consent, you may contact Prestilux as indicated in the “Contact Us” section.

 

Security and access

All personal information we collect is kept confidential, in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws in the jurisdictions where we do business. We follow generally accepted industry standards, and personal information in our possession is therefore accessible only to those persons who have the authority to access it, and who consult it only when necessary for the performance of their duties. We take reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures to protect your personal information and minimize the risk of loss, breaches of confidentiality, theft and unauthorized access, use, modification and destruction. If we keep your file, we take and apply appropriate security measures to ensure the confidentiality of personal information, both on-line and off-line. In addition, we use the following measures:

 

  • Restricted access to the physical office and personal information
  • Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol;
  • Secure e-mail
  • Network monitoring software;
  • Computer backup ;
  • Login and password ;
  • Firewalls.
  • Double authentication
  • Antivirus
  • IT equipment configured for high availability
  • Secure WiFi with guest network

 

Your rights

Depending on the applicable legislation, you may access, modify or ask us to delete any personal information you have provided to us. You also have various rights such as the right to withdraw your consent (if applicable), the right to de-index your personal information, as well as the right to data portability, i.e., the right to receive a copy of all personal information that Prestilux holds about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. To exercise any of these rights (insofar as they are available), simply send us a request by e-mail or by post to the address indicated in the “Contact us” section.

The Policy and any related documents will be posted on our website. Prestilux asks its users to review and accept the revised Policy before continuing to use the website.
