1. Privacy Policy goals / scope and application
We firmly believe in the right to privacy; this Policy has been specifically designed to uphold this right in accordance with the applicable laws.
In keeping with this position, ANGITA Pharma inc. undertakes to collect, process and share personally identifiable information (PII) only when the individual who is the subject of the information has provided their consent to do so, unless otherwise required or permitted by law, in which case consent will not be required.
The aim of the Policy is to inform users of why and how ANGITA Pharma inc., or any individual acting on its behalf, collects and uses personal information. It has been drafted in plain language to allow for informed user consent.
For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” refers to any information pertaining to an identifiable individual or any PII. When possible, we shall use acronyms, pseudonyms or aggregate information to render any such personal information personally unidentifiable.
2. Purposes of data collection
Personal information is collected and used for purposes such as:
- Enabling you to access our services and make proper use of them.
- Processing your requests, including inquiries and bookings.
- Enabling you to apply for a job posting.
- Enabling you to sign up to our newsletter or an activity.
- Addressing reported issues, including troubleshooting, support, optimization, website security breach reviews and/or data recovery.
- Assessing, optimizing and improving website content and features.
- Contacting you regarding a request or your experience with our services or website.
- Offering advertising content, including through remarketing, and improving ad and service content to better suit your needs and interests.
- Tracking your use of website features.
We use your personal information solely for the purposes for which it was collected.
3. Terms and conditions / guidelines for obtaining consent
We shall obtain an individual’s consent before collecting any of their personal information. Consent may be express or implied, and can be provided directly by the individual or by an authorized representative.
We recommend express consent given orally, electronically or in writing. However, implied consent is acceptable should it be reasonably inferred from an individual’s action or inaction. For instance, providing a name and address to receive a publication or providing a name and telephone number to obtain a response to a question may be construed as implied consent for the collection of personal information. The sensitivity of the targeted personal information, the purpose of their collection and reasonable expectations of a person in a similar situation determine the proper type of consent.
When you access this service, your computer and our server automatically exchange data. This exchange of information is necessary if the server is to send you a file that is compatible with the computer equipment you use. The following data is exchanged:
- ISP
- Your IP address (unique string of numbers that identifies a specific network device; e.g., 123.45.67.890)
- Browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Explorer) and operating system (e.g., Windows, Mac OS)
- Pages you visit
- Date and time you accessed the pages
- Referring URL (if accessed through another site)
Most information exchanged automatically between computers do not allow personal identification. This information is collected solely to meet the technological requirements for Internet browsing and is stored for statistical purposes (number of visits, most visited pages, technology used, referring sites and users’ country of origin).
Use of cookies
Cookies are used to facilitate navigation in the pages of this service. These cookies do not allow us to retrieve personal information. While you can disable cookies at any time in your browser’s settings, this may prevent you from accessing certain features on the site.
If you use a computer in a public location or share your computer with other users, make sure to delete your browsing history at the end of each session.
Use of Google Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics, a web tracking and reporting tool. Using cookies, Google Analytics gathers non-personal aggregate statistics to analyze how visitors use the website.
The information collected relates to your use of this site; it is kept on servers located in the United States and elsewhere. Google may disclose this information to third parties if required by law or if the information is processed by such third parties on behalf of Google.
The information collected by the tool includes pages visited, date, time, length and frequency of visits, links used, operating system and language, the name of your Internet service provider, and your geographical position (region). It also includes your IP address, which is truncated/anonymized to ensure the confidentiality of your personal information. IP address anonymization prevents the identification of an Internet user from their IP address.
Google uses the collected information solely for statistical and reporting purposes regarding the use of this site, allowing ANGITA Pharma inc. to enhance its electronic service delivery. Under no circumstances will Google associate the information collected through this site with any other retained data.
If you wish, you can prevent the recording by Google of any information regarding your use of this site by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on on your computer.

These features lead to the exchange of your personal or confidential information between the service and our various partners (hosting service provider, web developer, marketing agency, etc.). Such partners will comply with applicable laws to maintain the confidentiality of this information.
By using this service, you agree to the exchange of the following information between the service and our partners:
- Answers provided to questions (e.g., first and last name, phone number, email address)
- Marketing preferences (e.g., if you wish to receive our marketing communications or newsletters)
Should we want to use your personal information for any other purposes, we will provide a description of the intended use and request your consent once again.
It is not always possible, including at the request of the State, to obtain consent from an individual to collect, use or disclose their personal information. We will never share this type of information otherwise than as is provided by this Policy, except where permitted or required by law.

6. Personal information collected / data security
Provision of our products and services. We use the data to operate our products and services and provide rich and interactive experiences. All personal information and other data are kept on servers in Canada with high security ratings and protection against non-compliant uses and non-authorized access. We endeavour to maintain the required physical, administrative and technical security measures in our offices and data retention centres. Access to personal information is granted solely to individuals (employees or agents) requiring such access to fully perform their duties.
We will use all reasonable means to protect the personal information provided during your use of the website. More specifically, we will employ technical and organizational means to protect personal information against loss, theft or unauthorized access or disclosure, both internally and externally.
However, as there is no such thing as a perfectly secure system, you should be aware that there will always be a certain risk of a security breach. ANGITA Pharma inc. shall not be liable for any disclosure of your personal information except in the case of negligence on our part.
All data, including personal information, collected through your use of the website is stored on servers in Canada. However, this data may be processed by third-party service providers located outside of Canada, to assist ANGITA Pharma inc. in fulfilling its mandate, in which case we will take all reasonable measures to ensure such third-party services providers are bound by the appropriate safeguards.
For example,
Our data is collected by two systems, one of which is FileMaker Pro which collects orders made exclusively to shoe stores. Data backup is performed by Carbonite Safe CE 23.3 in Montreal. Our invoice management and order dispatch software is called PG2. PG2 is an external system that does not belong to us. It is based in Quebec City.
Product/service enhancements. We use the data to enhance our products, namely by adding new features or capabilities (error report when purchasing a ticket or viewing a program online, etc.).
Personalization. Some products include personalized features such as recommendations that optimize your experience and maximize your satisfaction. These features use automated processes to adapt your experiences based on the collected data (e.g., inferences made about you and your use of the product, activities, interests and location).
Product/service development. We use the data to develop new products. For example, we use anonymized or pseudonymised personal information to better understand our customers’ needs.
Customer support. We use the data to troubleshoot and solve product/service-related problems, restore access to your personal account, and provide other support and assistance services.
Security and problem-solving. We use the data to heighten security and contribute to product/service-related problem-solving. This includes using data to ensure the security of the services provided to our customers, to detect malware and malicious activities, to resolve performance and compatibility issues to help customers get the most out of their experience, and to inform them of product/service updates. This may include the use of automated systems to detect security concerns.
Safety. We use the data to protect the security of our products and of our customers. Our security features can prevent the proper operation of malware, inform users when malware is detected on their device, or even enable videosurveillance to ensure public safety during events.
Surveys and promotional communications. We use the collected data to provide surveys and promotional communications. You can subscribe by email, complete surveys, and opt in or out of promotional communications from ANGITA Pharma inc. by email, text message, mail or phone. To learn more about how coordinates, electronic subscriptions and promotional communications are managed, please refer to the section of this Policy on the terms and conditions for accessing and controlling personal information.
Relevant offers. ANGITA Pharma inc. uses data to provide relevant and important information regarding available products/services. We analyze data from various sources to predict what information will be most interesting and relevant to you, and to communicate it to you in different ways. For instance, we predict your interests in terms of concerts and offer new activities that are likely to please you.
Advertising. ANGITA Pharma inc. uses the data collected through our interactions with you, some of our products and third-party websites to advertise our products/services, including on third-party websites. We may sometimes use automated processes to render more relevant advertising.
Commercial transactions. We use data to process your transactions with us. For example, we process payment information to provide product subscriptions to customers and we use coordinates to deliver products purchased online.
Reporting and commercial operations. We use data to analyze our operations and improve decision-making. This allows us to make informed decisions and generate performance reports.
Protection of rights and property. We use data to detect and prevent fraud, resolve disputes, implement contracts and protect our property. For example, we use data to confirm the validity of purchased tickets to fight fraud. We may use automated processes to detect and prevent activities in violation of our rights and the rights of third parties.
Legal compliance. We process data to ensure legal compliance. For instance, we use the age of our customers to ensure compliance with youth privacy laws and to make certain each customer meets the age recommendations set for the target audience. We also process coordinates and credentials to help customers exercise their data protection rights.
Searches. We use data to perform searches, including searches for scientific purposes and searches conducted in the public interest, when permitted by law.
7. Data processing / disclosures
ANGITA Pharma inc. takes the security of your personal information extremely seriously and undertakes to process your information in accordance with industry standards and solely for the purposes for which it was collected, as stated herein or in a specific notice to that effect. However, considering the security limits inherent to web-based transfers, absolute data security is unachievable. The transfer of information by the user is at their own risk.
Service providers
We may turn to outside firms and third parties to administer and deliver services on our behalf (e.g., perform data processing and storage, analyze the quality of customer service, perform tracking tasks, manage bookings, subscriptions and staffing, provide marketing services).
In such cases, we will take all necessary measures to ensure such third parties have access to and process solely the information required to fulfil their mandate and have implemented measures to protect personal information in compliance with applicable laws and the conditions and levels of protection stated herein.
Third-party apps and software
We use apps and software, for instance, to process activity subscriptions, newsletter subscriptions and bookings. The information collected by external developers (if applicable) varies according to the features and functions of the app or software. In some cases, the developer collects no personal information whatsoever. In other cases, the developer collects personal information for the sole purpose of providing their services.
Links and third parties
The website may contain sharing or posting options, or links to third-party websites or platforms. By using or activating such links or features, you thereby leave our website and the terms of use and privacy policy of the third party thus come into effect.

We will do everything we can to provide timely access to your personal information. However, for security purposes, we may need to verify your identity.
Also, there may be circumstances in which we are unable to provide access to your personal information, for instance, when such access may lead to the disclosure of another individual’s personal information and such individual refuses to provide consent for such disclosure, or where legal restrictions apply. In such cases, we will inform you of the reason we are unable to provide access to your personal information.
Should your request concern data appearing on third-party web pages or platforms, please contact the third party directly.
We may disclose your personal information to the government, to law enforcement officials or to private parties in accordance with the law, and disclose and use such information as we deem necessary and appropriate to:
