The Policy is established in accordance with the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (CQLR, c. P-39.1), as modernized by Law 25, and, where applicable, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

By accessing the Site or providing personal information through it, the user acknowledges having read the Policy and consents to the processing of their personal information in accordance with it.

2. Person in charge of the protection of personal information

In accordance with section 3.1 of the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, the person in charge of the protection of personal information for the Site (the "Person in Charge") can be reached at the following contact information:

Email: michael@sansmateriel.com

Any request for access, rectification or deletion, as well as any question or complaint regarding the processing of personal information, must be addressed to the Person in Charge. A response will be provided within a maximum of 30 days following receipt of the request.

3. Personal information collected

3.1 Email address

The user's email address is collected in the following cases:

when subscribing to the newsletter, for the purpose of sending the new articles published on the Site;

when requesting the free program, for the purpose of sending the program and, subject to the user's consent, communications relating to bodyweight training.

The user may withdraw consent at any time, in particular by means of the unsubscribe link included in each communication.

3.2 Comments

When a user posts a comment on the Site, the name and email address they provide are collected and kept in association with the published comment.

3.3 Browsing data and statistics

The Site uses the statistics services of WordPress.com. These services collect data relating to visits to the Site, including the pages visited, the approximate origin of visitors and the type of device used. This data is processed in aggregate form and is used exclusively to improve the content of the Site.

3.4 Cookies

The Site places cookies in the user's browser. They correspond to the three categories of the consent manager used by the Site (CookieYes):

a) Témoins nécessaires : requis pour le fonctionnement et la sécurité du Site, pour la mémorisation des choix de consentement et de la langue d’affichage. Ils sont toujours actifs et ne requièrent aucun consentement.

Statistics cookies: used to measure traffic on the Site, understand how visitors interact with its content and analyze its performance (see section 3.3).

Advertising cookies: used to serve personalized ads based on the pages visited. See section 5.

With the exception of necessary cookies, no cookie is placed without the user's prior consent, collected by means of the consent banner displayed on the first visit.

The user may modify or withdraw consent at any time by means of the "Cookies" link, located in the footer of the Site, which reopens the consent preferences panel.

4. Use and disclosure of information

Personal information collected is used only for the purposes determined at the time of collection, as described in section 3, or for any purpose compatible with them.

Personal information is neither sold nor rented. It is disclosed only to the service providers listed in section 6, to the extent necessary for the provision of their services, or when required by law.

5. Advertising

The Site plans to serve advertising through the Google AdSense service. When this service is activated, Google and its partners will place cookies in order to serve ads based on the user's previous visits to the Site and to other sites. The user can disable personalized advertising through Google's ad settings (adssettings.google.com). The presence of advertising has no effect on the editorial content of the Site.

6. Hosting and service providers

The Site is hosted on the WordPress.com platform, operated by Automattic Inc. The following services are also used: Google (advertising and related services), CookieYes (cookie consent management) and Lemon Squeezy (payment processing, where applicable).

En conséquence, certains renseignements personnels peuvent être traités ou conservés à l’extérieur du Québec et du Canada, notamment aux États-Unis. Les fournisseurs de services sont liés par des obligations contractuelles en matière de protection des renseignements personnels.

For any purchase made on the Site, payment is processed directly by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record.

Aucune donnée de carte de paiement n’est recueillie ni conservée par le Site.

7. Retention and destruction

Personal information is kept only for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. A subscriber's email address is kept as long as the subscription remains active; it is deleted upon unsubscription or upon request. Published comments are kept in association with the articles, unless a deletion request is made to the Person in Charge.

8. Security measures

Reasonable security measures, proportionate to the nature of the information held, are implemented to protect personal information against loss, theft and unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Access to the Site is encrypted using the HTTPS protocol.

9. Rights of the persons concerned

Any person may, by contacting the Person in Charge:

obtain confirmation of the existence of personal information concerning them and access it;

have any inaccurate, incomplete or ambiguous information rectified;

obtain the deletion of their personal information in the cases provided for by law;

withdraw consent to the processing of their information.

If a satisfactory response is not obtained, the person concerned may contact the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
