This exchange of information is necessary solely to meet the technological requirements of Internet browsing and is used for statistical purposes. The information exchanged consists of :

Personal information

Personal information is information about an identifiable individual, such as date of birth, home address, social insurance number, driver's license number, health insurance number and age.

Personal information is confidential and may not be disclosed without the authorization of the person concerned, with certain exceptions provided for in the Access to Information Act.

Your provision of personal information to Clinique Main d'Or means that you agree and consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not provide us with any personal information. However, although the provision of certain personal information is optional, certain services can only be offered if you provide us with personal information and we may not be able to offer you certain services if you choose not to provide us with the required personal information.

Consent may be given in various ways, including: a) expressly by signing a document, accepting by electronic means or verbally; or b) implicitly by voluntarily providing personal information.

There may be times when you have provided personal information for a specific purpose and Clinique Main d'Or subsequently needs to use that information for a different purpose. In such circumstances, Clinique Main d'Or will seek your consent to use the information for the new purpose, unless we are permitted or required by law to use the information for the new purpose.

You have the right to revoke your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information at any time. However, revoking your consent may prevent us from providing services or products to you; in such circumstances, we will discuss with you why we need your personal information and why revoking your consent affects our ability to provide our services or products to you.

Transmission of personal or confidential information

If you send us personal information by filling out an online form or by any other means, we will only use the information we need to respond to your request.

We remind you that an e-mail sent to a website is not systematically secure. Only communications or transactions carried out using a data encryption system are secure. We therefore recommend that you do not use your e-mail software to send us personal information.

Transmitted personal information is not disclosed to any other government agency unless such disclosure is required by law. Under no circumstances will the information transmitted be used to establish a user profile, nor will it be disclosed to any private organization.

Only authorized persons within our organization have access to this information and only when necessary for the performance of their duties. Personal information held by Clinique Main d'Or is used only for the purposes for which it was collected. It is securely archived or destroyed when no longer required.

When you leave the Clinique Main d'Or website
