Personal Data We Collect

Automatically Collected Data

When you visit and use our site, we may automatically collect and store the following information, which may not necessarily identify you as an individual, for example:

- Video Surveillance: For security purposes and to ensure the safety of our guests, tenants, and event participants, we may use video surveillance in various locations to secure our events. This practice is subject to applicable privacy laws, and the collected information may only be shared under limited circumstances as described in the section "How We Use Your Personal Data" of this policy.

- Browser, Device, and Technical Information: When you visit our website, we may collect technical information through electronic means such as cookies. This information can include details about your visit or usage of our website, including your device/computer's IP address (a number automatically assigned to your device/computer whenever you access the internet and that can sometimes be used to determine your geographic location), the browser you use to access our website, your operating system, screen resolution, location, browser language settings, referring site, searched keywords (if you arrived at our website via a search engine), the number of pages viewed, and the information you entered and the ads you saw. We may also collect unique identifiers (including mobile device identification numbers like Apple’s Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) or Google’s Android Advertising ID (AAID)) and connection information (e.g., mobile operator, internet service provider, Wi-Fi connection) that may allow the physical location of these devices to be identified, in compliance with applicable laws.

- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to gather information on user activities on our websites, including, but not limited to, pages viewed, source, and time spent on our websites. This information is anonymized and displayed as numbers, meaning it cannot be traced back to individuals who visited our website. You can opt out of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics opt-out page.

- Online Advertising: We use advertising and remarketing services (such as Google AdWords Remarketing, Facebook Advertising, LinkedIn Advertising, Adobe Analytics, and Localytics) to advertise Shérif on the internet and to show advertisements on third-party websites (including Google) to previous visitors of our website. These services will show you personalized ads based on sections of our websites you have viewed, using cookies placed in your browser when you visit our website. This could mean that previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our website receive an advertisement on the Google search results page, on a site in the Google Display Network, or on a social media platform. If you do not wish to receive such personalized ads, you can opt-out by adjusting your settings on the social media services you use or through advertising services (e.g., by visiting Google’s Ad Preferences Manager). You can also choose not to receive personalized ads from third-party advertisers and ad networks that are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada. Please visit the DAAC opt-out page for more information.

- Social Media: If you log in to any of our websites or applications using a social media account such as Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, or Twitter ("Social Media Platforms"), we will collect the information you have added to your registration profile from these accounts, provided by default by the Social Media Platforms. We may also collect personal information about you from your use of Social Media Platforms, through which you authorize us to collect (or authorize the third party to share) personal information about you, such as details about your friends/connections, your "likes," comments you have shared, your groups, and your location. Additionally, we may receive personal information about you if other users of a third-party website give us access to their profile and you are one of their friends/connections or if information about you is otherwise accessible through your friends'/connections' profile page, or a similar page on a Social Media Platform or any third-party interactive website or service. We may supplement the information we collect about you directly with the information we receive from third parties to improve our ability to serve you, tailor our content to your needs, and send you details about promotions or offers that we believe may interest you, always in compliance with applicable privacy laws.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

To ensure the protection of your security, Les Productions FGM commits to taking the necessary measures to protect the personal information collected. Les Productions FGM has implemented security measures to protect you against the loss or unauthorized use of your personal information, including:

- Using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security protocol to ensure highly secure transmission of personal information. You can verify if you are in SSL secure mode by ensuring that the URL link in your internet browser's address bar starts with "https://".

- All data stored in our system is securely protected and only accessible to our employees. Our employees are bound by strict confidentiality agreements, and a violation of this agreement would result in the employee's dismissal.

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure our user data is secure and users are protected, there is always a risk of harm. The internet as a whole can be, at times, unsafe, and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practicable.

Your Rights as a User
As a user, you have the right to access all your personal data that we have collected. Furthermore, you have the right to update or correct any personal data we hold about you, provided it is lawful.

You can choose to delete or change your consent to the collection and use of data at any time, as long as it is legally permissible to do so and you inform us within a reasonable timeframe.
