Legal framework governing the protection of personal information
The Bonjour Québec site is published in Québec, Canada. Users’ personal information is protected under Québec and Canadian laws. For information on user rights, visit the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec website.

Unless required by law, Tourisme Québec does not disclose any personal information obtained on Bonjour Québec users.

Use of personal information
The information collected by Tourisme Québec with user consent serves to send users paper or electronic documents, respond to their information requests, forward reservation, product purchase or tourism service requests to service providers, subscribe users to Bonjour Québec publications or its newsletter and compile mailing or survey lists. This information also serves to determine user habits and interests with a view to improving future service.

Disclosure of personal information
User requests may require the disclosure of personal information to service providers or sub-contractors involved in filling a request (e.g. disclosure of user’s contact information to an organization handling document shipping or to an establishment where the user wishes to make a reservation).

By authorizing Tourisme Québec and its partners to send the user travel literature or a tourist newsletter, the user authorizes Tourisme Québec to transfer said user’s personal information to a service provider or sub‑contractor for purposes other than a response to the user’s request for information, a newsletter or a reservation.

Sub-contractors and service providers outside of Tourisme Québec that use personal information held by Tourisme Québec are required to sign a confidentiality agreement and may use such information solely for the purposes to which the user has consented.

- the type of browser, the type of device and operating system used to access the site;
- the date and time of access to the site;

- the address of the originating website.

This information exchange is necessary for the proper operation of the site. The information is kept for statistical purposes. It is also stored in data logs for site security reasons and used to compile statistics on site visits. Information in the site’s data logs may be communicated to third parties for security verification or legal investigations and will not be used for any other purpose.
