Privacy policy

What I collect, why, and what you can require of me.

Person responsible for the protection of personal information: Vincent Cloutier, emergency preparedness consultant.

What this site does not do

This site sets no cookies. It uses no Google Analytics, no advertising pixel, and no third-party tracking tool. It never attempts to identify someone who is simply reading the pages, and it buys no data about its visitors.

The information I collect

I only collect personal information when you give it to me voluntarily.

SituationInformationWhy
You write to me through the question form Your question, your name, your region, and the contact detail you leave To reply to you. The message reaches me by email.
You request the free extract Your email address, your first name if you give it, the date and your consent To send you the extract and, occasionally, preparedness advice.
You book the free assessment Name, email, phone and time slot To hold the appointment. This information is collected by Square, not by this site.
You request your personalized solar plan Your first name, your email or phone, your answers to the designer (appliances, season, days of autonomy) and your consent To put your plan online and contact you about it. Only your first name appears on your page, which is not indexed by search engines. The request is erased from the server as soon as your page is created; your contact details are kept only on my computer. Until you send this request, the designer does all its calculations on your device and nothing is sent to me.

Audience measurement

I measure traffic with a tool I host myself, on my own server. No data is passed to a third party. What is recorded cannot identify you:

No IP address is kept, no identifier is assigned, and it is impossible to connect 2 visits to the same person.

What is shared outside

A few third-party services are involved, and most of them are located outside Quebec. Your information is handled there under their own policies:

I do not sell, rent or trade any information about you.

The Prep app

The app is built to work with no account and no transmission: your kit, your family plan and your numbers stay on your device. Only a question you choose to send passes through my server, and it works like the form described above.

How long I keep it

Your rights

Quebec law gives you the right to know what information I hold about you, to obtain a copy, to have it corrected, to withdraw your consent at any time and to ask for its deletion. Write to me and I will answer within 30 days at most.

To unsubscribe from my emails, simply reply to any one of them.

If my answer does not satisfy you, you may file a complaint with the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS. Files containing email addresses are not reachable from the web, and I am the only person with access to them.
