We will not transfer your personal information to a third party without seeking your consent, except in limited circumstances described below.

We do not disclose your personal information to anyone outside of the Company without your consent, except:

  • Our providers of goods or services, organizations, or individuals whose services have been retained to perform certain functions on our behalf (e.g., data processing, document management, etc.). We take necessary measures, whether contractual or otherwise, to ensure that these third-party providers of goods or services process your personal information solely for the purposes determined by the Company and provide a level of protection for personal information comparable to that which the Company offers with regard to personal information in its possession.
  • Any entity in the event of a merger or change of control, in whole or in part, only if the parties conclude an agreement whereby the collection, use, and communication of information are limited to the purposes of the business transaction.
  • Any public authority if required by law.

We do not transmit your personal information to a promotional partner unless you have specifically consented to the communication of your personal information to them.

We may also disclose your personal information for the following reasons: (1) to comply with the law, regulation, court order, or other legal process in force; (2) to enforce your agreements with us, including this Privacy Policy; or (3) to respond to claims that your use of the website violates the rights of a third party.

Service Providers and Other Third Parties

While we attempt to avoid disclosing your personal information to third parties, we may engage service providers to perform various services on our behalf, such as IT management and security, as well as data analysis, hosting, and storage. We have outlined below the cases in which such sharing may occur:

  • The website hosting is provided by Maxime Cliche.
  • We use Eventbrite for training registration.

External Links Displayed on Our Site

The website may include links to websites operated by third parties. By clicking on these links, you leave the website. The Company has no control over the operation of these websites, and listing them on its website does not in any way engage the responsibility of the Company. All personal information you transmit through these websites will be subject to their respective privacy policies.

Retention of Your Information

Subject to applicable laws, we retain your personal information only for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected, unless you consent to your personal information being used or processed for another purpose. Additionally, our retention periods may be amended from time to time due to legitimate interests (e.g., to ensure the security of personal information, to prevent abuse and violations, or to prosecute criminals).

Rest assured that when the purpose for which information was collected is achieved, we proceed to destroy or anonymize that information, in accordance with applicable law.

For more information on the periods during which your personal information is retained, please contact our Person in Charge of Personal Information Protection.

Under applicable law, you may have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data, receive a copy of your personal data, restrict or object to the active processing of your data, ask us to share (transfer) your personal information to another entity, withdraw any consent you have given us to process your data, lodge a complaint with a statutory authority, and other relevant rights under applicable laws. To exercise these rights, you can write to us at dg@asrsq.ca. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law.

Please note that if you do not allow us to collect or process the required personal information or withdraw consent to process it for the required purposes, you may not be able to access or use the services for which your information was sought.
