5.1. Right to accept or refuse to provide your information.

Your information belongs to you. Subject to legal, commercial, or contractual requirements, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the collection, use or disclosure of information. We will process your request as quickly as possible.

However, certain information is essential for us to provide you with certain products and services. If you refuse to provide it, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to establish or maintain a business relationship with you or even to offer you some of our products. For example, if you do not wish to provide your e-mail address, we will not be able to send you newsletters, or any other communications that you may request.

5.2. Right to refuse that we use your information for certain purposes

You may refuse to allow us to use your information or withdraw your consent for the following purposes:

To send you our promotional offers

Eztiles and its partners may, from time to time, share with you promotions that may be of interest to you. You may withdraw your consent at any time. There may be a delay before you stop receiving our promotional offers, particularly those from a promotional campaign already underway.

We may also use your name, e-mail address or other contact information to create personalized audiences on social media and digital platforms. This allows us to display ads tailored to your needs and interests on these platforms. You may opt-out of the use of your information for targeted advertising by changing your preferences in your social media account settings or by contacting us.

Occasionally, we may contact you to ask if you would like to update your choice to ensure that our records are up-to-date and reflect your current preferences.

Please note that if you withdraw your consent to this use, you may still see some of our advertisements on social media platforms. However, these ads will not have been targeted because of the use of your name and contact information.

Collecting and using your digital information on our online services

With your consent, Eztiles and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, log files or other technologies to collect certain personal information about visitors to our website, as well as recipients of our newsletters, invitations, and other communications. Cookies are data sent by the server to the browser when a site is visited, making it possible to uniquely identify the current session. This information may include details such as your IP address, browser type and version, the pages of our site you visit, the date and time of your visit, the duration of your session and other statistics.

Please note that our website may contain links to third-party sites. Our Privacy Policy no longer applies once you leave our site. Eztiles and its partners are not responsible for the collection or processing of personal information by these third parties or via these external sites.

5.3. Withdrawal of consent

You may at any time withdraw your consent to receive our promotional offers and your consent to the sharing of your financial information between Eztiles and its partners. You can do so by unsubscribing from our newsletters, deactivating your account or contacting customer service. We will process your request as quickly as possible.

You may also refuse the use of cookies on our websites at any time.

What you will continue to receive after you withdraw your consent:

6. Security measures

6.1. Retention for a limited period

We retain your information, in digital format, for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information was collected, or if required or permitted by law. The purpose, nature and sensitivity of the information have been considered in determining retention periods.

Eztiles and its partners are subject to numerous legal obligations regarding the retention of personal information (for example, under tax laws). In general, to meet these obligations, your personal profile information (such as your name, job title, e-mail, sector) will be retained for the duration of your relationship with us and for a period of five years following the end of your relationship with us. In addition, we will retain your transactional information for five years after completion.

Certain exceptions may apply and require longer retention periods, for example in the case of litigation or claims. In such cases, your information may be retained for up to ten years. When your information is no longer required, we will endeavour to destroy it securely.

6.2. Places of storage

Eztiles and its partners, service providers and other third parties to whom your information is disclosed under this Privacy Policy may carry on business outside Quebec and Canada. Your information may therefore be used and stored securely in other provinces and countries. In some cases, your information may be subject to the laws and access rights of authorities in foreign countries, including the United States.

6.3. Information security program

We go to great lengths to protect your information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, use or disclosure, and any other breach of security. We have implemented a security program to keep pace with constantly evolving threats to information security. The measures adopted in our security program are:

Limiting who has access to your information. This means that only employees who need to consult your information in the course of their work have access to it.
Managing passwords and implementing firewalls.
You have a role to play in protecting your information. We encourage you never to divulge your passwords, codes, or personal identification numbers. Our employees do not have this information and will not ask you for it. Do not send any information by e-mail.

7. Changes to the policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you by means of a notice appearing on our websites and by any other appropriate means to reach you.
