Privacy Policy

Automatically Transmitted Information

As soon as you access the site www.lieutenante-gouverneure.quebec, information is automatically exchanged between your computer and the server hosting the site. This information does not identify you personally. It is used for statistical purposes and to provide you with files compatible with the computer equipment you are using.

This information includes:

your IP address. An IP address (for Internet Protocol) is a number automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider.
the type of browser and operating system you are using to access our site;
the date and time you access our site;
the address of the pages you visit on our site;
and the address of the site from which you arrived at ours.

Transmission of Personal Information

In accordance with the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information of Québec, the department or body requesting personal information from you must verify the necessity of collecting that information (section 64), identify itself, and inform you (excerpt from section 65):

of the name and address of the public body on whose behalf the collection is being made;
of the purpose for which the information is intended;
of the categories of persons who will have access to the information;
of whether the request is mandatory or optional;
of the consequences for the person concerned, or where applicable for a third party, of refusing to respond to the request;
of the rights of access and rectification provided by law.

If you choose to provide us with personal information by completing a form on the Lieutenant Governor of Québec's website, we will only use the information needed to respond to your message. Electronic messages are handled with the same confidentiality measures as postal mail.

Personal information provided will not be shared with any other government body, unless your request is directed to that body or unless such sharing is required by law. The information collected is never used to build user profiles and is not transmitted to any private organization.

Links to Other Sites

The Lieutenant Governor of Québec's website provides links to government sites — Québec, Canadian, or otherwise — as well as to certain private organization sites. These sites open in a new window. As such, the information exchanged is no longer subject to the privacy policy of the Lieutenant Governor of Québec's website, but to that of the new site being visited.
