Last updated: May 24, 2026
1. Purpose of this Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Association FurHorizon Québec, operating notably under the name FurHorizon Québec, collects, uses, stores and protects personal information that may be provided by its members, volunteers, participants, visitors or users of its platforms.
We place great importance on privacy protection and are committed to limiting the collection of personal information to what is necessary for our association activities.
2. Information We May Collect
Depending on the circumstances, we may collect certain information, including:
- first and last name;
- email address;
- phone number, if provided;
- information related to membership, registration or participation in an event;
- communications voluntarily sent to the organization;
- information required for internal administration, safety or compliance with our legal obligations.
We do not voluntarily collect sensitive personal information unless it is necessary and relevant in a specific context, or voluntarily provided by the person concerned.
3. Use of Information
The information collected may be used to:
- manage memberships, registrations and participation in activities;
- communicate with members, volunteers or participants;
- administer the organization’s events, activities and services;
- ensure the safety, moderation and proper operation of our platforms;
- comply with our legal, administrative or regulatory obligations;
- respond to requests sent to the organization.
We do not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected, unless permitted or required by law.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website does not use any tracking cookies, advertising cookies, tracking pixels or similar technologies intended for profiling, behavioural advertising or visitor tracking.
The website may still use, if necessary, technical elements strictly required for the proper operation of the site, such as security, payment processing, session management or essential features. These elements are not used to track visitors for advertising or commercial purposes.
If analytics tools are used in the future, they must be configured in a way that respects visitors’ privacy and does not allow advertising tracking or commercial profiling.
If you detect a tracking cookie, tracking pixel or any other tracking technology on our website, we invite you to inform us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action where applicable.
5. Disclosure to Third Parties
We do not sell, rent or share personal information for commercial purposes.
Information may be disclosed only when necessary, for example:
- to service providers who help us operate our platforms, hosting, registration systems or communications;
- when the person concerned has given consent;
- when required by law;
- to protect the rights, safety or integrity of the organization, its members, volunteers or the public.
6. Requests from Authorities
Confidential information is not disclosed to external authorities without a valid reason.
Only a competent authority may require the disclosure of confidential information when such disclosure is required by law, by a court order, by a valid warrant or by any other legally binding request.
Where permitted, we reserve the right to verify the validity of such a request before disclosing information.
7. Retention of Information
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or to comply with our legal, administrative, accounting or association-related obligations.
When information is no longer required, it is deleted, anonymized or securely archived, as appropriate.
8. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against loss, unauthorized access, misuse, modification or unauthorized disclosure.
These measures may include, depending on the context:
- limited access to authorized persons;
- use of passwords and access controls;
- hosting on secure services;
- limitation of information collected;
- internal document management practices.
However, no electronic transmission or storage method is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Access, Correction and Withdrawal
Any person may request access to the personal information we hold about them, request a correction or withdraw their consent where applicable.
Requests may be sent to:
We may request reasonable proof of identity before processing a request.
10. Links to External Sites
Our platforms may contain links to external websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites. We encourage users to review their privacy policies.
11. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our activities, tools or legal obligations.
The most recent version will be posted on our website or made available through appropriate means.
