3. Conditions for obtaining consent / method of collecting it

We are committed to obtaining consent before collecting an individual’s personal information. Consent may be express or implied and may be provided directly by the individual or their authorized representative.

We prioritize obtaining explicit consent, whether verbally, electronically or in writing. However, implied consent can be reasonably inferred from a person’s action or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication or a name and telephone number to obtain an answer to a question is considered implied consent to the collection of information containing personal information. To determine the appropriate type of consent, we consider the sensitivity of the personal information in question, the purposes for which it is collected and the reasonable expectations of an individual in a similar situation.

When you access this service, your computer and our server automatically exchange data. This exchange is necessary for the server to send you a file compatible with the computer equipment you are using. The data exchanged are as follows:

  • identification of your Internet service provider;
  • your IP address (numeric address that allows you to precisely locate a computer connected to the Internet, for example: 123.45.67.890);
  • the type of browser (for example: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Explorer) and operating system (for example: Windows, Mac OS) you are using;
  • the pages you visit;
  • the date and time you access these pages;
  • the address of the referring site, if you access this site from another website.

Most information transmitted automatically between computers does not reveal your identity. They are only collected due to technological requirements inherent to Internet browsing.
