Thank you for visiting our Web site and for your interest in our policy on privacy.
Cookies
We place a cookie on a visitor’s computer hard drive if he answers the poll located on our Web site’s homepage.
The purpose of that cookie is to validate the poll in question : no personal information is collected.
The visitor cannot be identified personally from the information transmitted automatically
between computers. That information is gathered solely to meet the technological requirements of using the Internet.
Some data, like the topic of inquiry of the visitor, is also used for statistical purposes.
The exchange of information
As soon as you access our Web site, information is automatically exchanged between
your computer and our Web site's server. This exchange of information is necessary in order that our server be
able to transmit to you a file compatible with your computer's equipment. That exchange of information consists of :
- the Internet domain name (for instance : «xyzcompany.com», if you have a private Internet
access account, or «university.edu» if you access the Internet through a university), and the IP address
(a number automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet provider every time you use the Internet) with
which you access our site;
- the type of browser and operating system used to access our Web site;
- the date and time you access our Web site;
- the pages you visit;
- and, if you access our Web site from another site (referral site), its address.
That exchange of information does not identify you personally.
The Régie also keeps the necessary data in order to have a record of the number of visitors, the pages visited most
often, the time of the visits, the technology used by the visitors, the referral sites and the countries of origin of visitors to our Web site. If you transmit personal information to us
The Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec recommends that no personal
information should move on the Internet or by E-mail if its not encrypted. However, if you transmit to us voluntarily
personal information, by E-mail or by electronic form, we will use only the necessary information to answer your
message or to follow up on your inquiry. At the Régie du logement, electronic messages are treated as confidentially
as regular mail.
The personal information transmitted is not disclosed to any other government body unless
your request is addressed to it or disclosure is required by law. Personal information is not used to draw up a
profile of users and is not communicated to private organizations.
In accordance with the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and
the Protection of personal information , if the Régie du logement requests that you provide some personal
information, you will be informed about :
- the name and address of the public body on whose behalf the information is being collected;
- the use to which the information will be put;
- the categories of persons who will have access to the information;
- the fact that a reply is obligatory, or that it is optional;
- the consequences of a refusal to reply;
- of the rights of access and correction provided by law.
Accuracy and reliability of the information
The Régie du logement warrants the accuracy and reliability of the information at
the posting time but not subsequent thereto and accepts no liability whatsoever for the accuracy of any document,
data or other material after it has been altered or modified in any manner, after downloading or otherwise.
Moreover, in the event of a discrepancy between an official text and the content of this site, the official text
prevails.
Links with other sites
Our Web site provides links to many sites including other sites of the Québec
government. When clicking on a particular link, a message advises you that you will be leaving the Régie du logement’s
Web site : the exchanged information will then be no longer subject to the Régie’s policy on privacy. To remain in the
Régie’s Web site, you must close the message’s window.
