Privacy Policy

 

Privacy policy

With the development of new communication tools, it is necessary to pay particular attention to the
protection of privacy. This is why we are committed to respecting the confidentiality of the personal
information we collect.

Use of Google Analytics

MCDC uses Google Analytics, a web analytics tool, on this website. Google Analytics collects information
about your use of this website, which is stored on servers located in the United States. Google may also
transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties
process the information on Google's behalf.

The information collected by the tool includes, for example, the pages you visit, the date, time, duration
and frequency of your visits, and the links you click on. The type and language of your computer's
operating system, the name of your Internet service provider and your geographical location (region)
are also part of the information collected. Your IP address is also collected, but anonymized (truncated)
to ensure the confidentiality of your information. Anonymizing an IP address prevents the identity of an
Internet user from being known through it.

Google will only use the information collected to produce statistics and reports on navigation on this
site, which will enable MCDC to improve the electronic presentation of services. Google will not link the
information collected on this site with any other data held by Google.
If you wish, you can prevent Google from recording information about your browsing by installing the
Google Analytics deactivation browser add-on on your computer.

Information exchanged automatically

When you access the MCDC site, your computer and the site's server automatically exchange
information. This communication is necessary for the server to transmit a file compatible with the
computer equipment you are using. The information exchanged is as follows:

- Your Internet provider's domain name;
- Your IP address, the unique number assigned to your computer when it is connected to the
Internet;
- The type of browser (Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and operating system (Windows, Mac OS, etc.)
used;
- The date and time of your visit;
- The pages you visit;
- The address of the referring site if you access the MCDC site from another site.
This information is stored and used by MCDC for technical and statistical purposes. It is used to count
the number of visits, the most frequently visited pages, the technology used by visitors, the referring
sites, and the country of origin of visitors.

Information sent by e-mail or by form

MCDC is committed to protecting the confidential information you entrust to us. If you voluntarily
communicate personal or otherwise confidential information by e-mail or by form to subscribe to our

newsletter or for a request, we use only the information required to enable our team to respond to your
message or follow up on your request. Electronic correspondence is treated with the same
confidentiality measures as other written documents.

Links to other sites

The MCDC site provides hyperlinks to other sites and to external documents belonging to those sites.
Information exchanged on these sites is not subject to this privacy policy, but to that of the external site
if one exists.
