When accessing Matrice websites (main domain matrice.marketing and other sub-domains), an automatic exchange of information takes place between your computer and our server.

An IP address is considered as navigation information. The information exchanged is as follows:

• The type of browser and operating system you use;
• The date and time you access our site;

This exchange of information is required due to technological requirements inherent in browsing the Internet. Matrice keeps this information for statistical purposes, specifically to track the number of visitors, the most-visited pages, the technology used by visitors, referring sites, and visitors’ country of origin. This information is not used to create, communicate or exchange user lists and can only be communicated in accordance with access laws.

Matrice has implemented a combination of material, organisational and technological means to ensure the confidentiality of the personal information it holds, to protect it against loss or theft in order to prevent any unauthorized access, transmission, reproduction, use or modification of it.

Agence Matrice employees will have access to your personal information. However, people under our employ are required to respect the confidentiality of your information.

SSL protocol (Secure Sockets Layer)

Access management — authorized people only

Firewalls

Loi sur la protection des renseignements personnels (L.R.C. (1985), ch. P-21)
