Privacy and the protection of personal information
Privacy protection principles
Objectives
Your personal information plays an important role in some of our business processes and in achieving our mission. Privacy and the protection of personal information are essential to us. Therefore, through this Policy, we intend to protect them in accordance with applicable laws and fulfill our responsibilities in this regard.
This Policy aims to ensure compliance with the legal framework established by the “Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector, RLRQ, c. P-39.1”. The Policy sets out 1200 Degrees’ commitments regarding the protection of your privacy and aims to establish and maintain your trust in our practices in this regard. Therefore, we communicate the Policy to you with transparency.
Scope
The Policy governs how 1200 Degrees collects, uses, communicates, retains, or destroys the personal information of its customers, employees, external job applicants, or any other person, regardless of the medium on which this information is located. However, the Policy does not apply to personal information that is public under the law. To ensure this protection, 1200 Degrees undertakes to collect, use, communicate, or retain personal information about an individual only when that individual has consented to it, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be required.
Definition
For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” means any information about an identifiable individual. For example, your name, postal address, or communication preferences are personal information about you.
Entry into force
This Policy applies from September 22, 2023.
Implementation
Members of the 1200 Degrees team are informed of the existence of the Policy. In addition, our employees are sensitized at the company level so that everyone understands the principles underlying the Policy and ensures their application in the performance of their duties. We are committed to obtaining consent before collecting an individual’s personal information. Consent may be explicit or implicit and may be provided directly by the individual or by their representative.
In accordance with the privacy protection principles set out in the Policy, we adopt daily practices and measures to fulfill our responsibilities in this regard. This demonstrates that we attach great importance to protecting your privacy.
