Contact this person for any question, request or complaint about your personal information.
What we collect
We only collect information you choose to give us:
- Contact form: your name, company, work email and the content of your message.
- Email exchanges: anything you send us directly.
We do not use advertising cookies or tracking technologies to profile visitors.
Why we use it
- To answer your inquiry and follow up about a potential project
- To prepare proposals and deliver the services you request
- To meet our legal, accounting and tax obligations
We never sell or rent your personal information, and we do not use it for any other purpose without your consent.
Who can access it
Only HNZ Consulting has access to your information. We rely on a few trusted service providers to operate this website and our communications, such as our web host and email provider. They only process your information to provide their service to us.
Some of these providers may store information outside Quebec, including in the United States. When this is the case, we take reasonable steps to make sure your information receives adequate protection.
How long we keep it
We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes above. Inquiries that do not lead to a project are deleted no later than 2 years after our last exchange. Client records, such as contracts and invoices, are kept as long as tax and accounting laws require. After that, information is securely deleted.
How we protect it
We use reasonable security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including secure (HTTPS) connections, access limited to HNZ Consulting, and accounts protected by strong passwords.
Your rights
You can, at any time:
- ask to access the personal information we hold about you
- ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
- withdraw your consent, or ask us to delete your information, subject to legal requirements
To make a request, write to the person in charge above. We will reply within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you can file a complaint with the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec.
