Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-21

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how this website (“the Site”) collects, uses, and protects information from visitors. This Site is an informational, static website intended for general audiences in Canada. Visitors do not create accounts, and no personal information is collected that would identify you directly.

By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

The Site itself does not include forms, login features, or mechanisms for submitting personal information. Petitions are hosted on Google Forms (see section 6).

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

The Site may automatically collect non‑identifying technical information such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device/OS information
  • Pages viewed
  • Referring links
  • Basic analytics (if enabled)

2.3 Cookies

The Site does not set cookies. No advertising or profiling cookies are used.

3. How We Use Information

Automatically collected information may be used to:

  • Operate the Site
  • Improve performance
  • Understand aggregate usage
  • Protect against security threats

4. Disclosure of Information

We may disclose information only:

  • To service providers operating the Site
  • If required by law
  • To investigate security issues

5. Data Storage and Security

Server logs may temporarily store technical information. Reasonable protections are used, but no system is perfectly secure.

6. Third‑Party Services

If the Site uses fonts, analytics, or embedded media, those services may collect their own usage data.

The Site uses GoatCounter for aggregate visitor analytics. GoatCounter is a privacy‑friendly analytics service that does not use cookies, does not store IP addresses, and does not track visitors across sites. It records aggregate information such as the page visited, the referring link, the browser, and the visitor’s country (derived from the IP address, which is then discarded). For details, see GoatCounter’s privacy policy.

Petitions linked from the Site are hosted on Google Forms. If you choose to sign one, the information you enter (such as your name) is collected by Google on behalf of Membres Chez Nous and is subject to Google’s privacy policy. It is used only to show support for that petition.

We are not responsible for external websites linked from the Site.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13.

9. Your Rights

Because no identifiable data is collected, access/correction/deletion requests generally do not apply.

10. Changes

Updates may be made to this Privacy Policy. The latest revision date will be posted.
