This privacy policy (the "Policy") governs the practices of Chrono Innovation Inc., including its successors and assigns ("we" or "Chrono"), with respect to the collection, processing, use, disclosure, and retention of personal information you provide to Chrono, including personal information that identifies you (the "Personal Information").
Personal Information is any information relating to an individual who is or can be identified (an "identifiable person"). An identifiable person is a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, including by reference to an identifier or one or more elements specific to the physical, physiological, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that person, and who is protected by law in the jurisdiction in which they reside. In some jurisdictions, Personal Information does not include professional contact information.
We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the Personal Information we collect, process, and control. This Policy provides you with notice of our practices regarding the interactions we have with you online, by phone, or through any other means of communication.
Please read our Policy carefully and consult this page from time to time to stay informed of any changes.
The rights and obligations described in the Policy apply to all individuals, including in particular our employees, customers, suppliers, collaborators, partners, candidates, and internet users, users of the website https://www.chronoinnovation.com/ and its software solution (collectively, the "Platform"), and any other third party from whom Chrono collects Personal Information (collectively the "Users" or "you"). Chrono, its employees, and its partners who may have access to Personal Information must comply with the policies, procedures, and practices described in this Policy.
This Policy refers to and applies to all Personal Information we collect, whether through our Platform, forms, verbal or written communications, when you create an account or pay for services, if applicable, or otherwise from any User.
Any person who collects, processes, uses, retains, or discloses Personal Information on Chrono's behalf must agree to comply with the provisions of the Policy.
By providing your Personal Information and browsing the Platform, you consent to the processing, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information in accordance with this Policy. Thus, you authorize us to collect, use, and share the Personal Information you provide to us, so that it may be communicated or used for the purposes for which it was collected. We only collect the necessary Personal Information.
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the disclosure or use of the collected Personal Information at any time. However, the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your Personal Information before its withdrawal. If you do not consent to this Policy, please do not disclose your Personal Information, do not use the Platform, or, if applicable, send an email or message to Chrono's Personal Information Protection Officer using the contact information provided in the "Information" section below. Chrono will take the necessary steps to have your Personal Information deleted or anonymized as soon as you have exercised your right of withdrawal or objection.
You may also contact Chrono's Personal Information Protection Officer with any questions you may have regarding the processing and privacy of your Personal Information.
As part of our operations and our efforts to better serve our customers and Users, we need to obtain and process information. This information includes certain offline or online data, including Personal Information. Therefore, throughout your use of our Platform and your interaction with us, you may be required to provide Personal Information that makes you an identifiable person.
For the purposes of this Policy, Personal Information that may be collected includes identification and authentication information, including without limitation your first and last name, email address, phone number, employer, position within your organization or company, and your interests.

We generally do not collect any Personal Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. However, you will need to provide us with certain Personal Information when you choose to use certain products or services or apply for a position within Chrono.
Indeed, we collect, and may retain and share in accordance with this Policy, Personal Information about you on various occasions, including without limitation when:
In addition, Chrono may automatically collect certain technical data about your visit to the Platform, including, but not limited to, certain traffic data, the type of device you use, data containing logs, as well as clicks and usage paths on our Platform, IP address and geographical location, your operating system, Internet service provider, the type of Internet browser you use, domain name, access times, duration of visit, referring URL, date and time stamp and exit page, and cookies, as well as information about how you use the Platform (the "Technical Data").
When you communicate with us by phone, you may provide us with Personal Information during the call, and this Personal Information may be recorded in written notes.
The purpose of this Policy is to protect your privacy and the Personal Information you provide to Chrono. Chrono is committed to ensuring this protection by controlling the use of all Personal Information you disclose to it.
Chrono undertakes to treat the Personal Information of employees, customers, and all Users with the utmost care and confidentiality.
We use this Personal Information collected from you, notably to:
We may also use your contact information to send you communications to transmit announcements, promotional offers, including information on products and services offered by Chrono and its partners (including trial period offers), alerts, surveys, invitations to webinars, and/or other information. If you do not wish to receive this promotional information and communications by email from Chrono, we offer Users the possibility to exercise their right of withdrawal and unsubscribe. Users can (i) follow the instructions included in these communications or (ii) contact Chrono's Personal Information Protection Officer using the contact information provided in the "Information" section below.
When you provide us with your Personal Information, only Chrono employees and our authorized partners who need access to the Personal Information in order to provide you with services related to the Platform, technical assistance, or any service or product offered by Chrono will have access to and be able to use your Personal Information. Chrono is committed to ensuring that its employees and authorized partners are informed of their obligation to guarantee the security and confidentiality of your Personal Information, in the context of the communication and/or consultation of Personal Information, and are bound by this obligation. Also, your Personal Information will be provided to cloud service, web hosting, and data processing providers, and to Chrono's third-party providers, including without limitation payment platforms and financial institutions.
Personal Information may also be used for purposes compatible with those for which it was collected and for your benefit, including, but not limited to, for dissemination, correspondence, information, or for the purpose of personalizing your experience on the Platform, answering your questions, understanding your needs, informing you of our offers and promotions, and managing cases of fraud and theft, if applicable.
Chrono may also anonymize your Personal Information to use it for research and development purposes and continuous improvement.
Finally, we use Technical Data for the purpose of establishing reports on the Platform and analyzing usage trends. In addition, this allows us to detect problems related to our server, manage the Platform, track the movements of internet users, and use and collect general demographic information. See the "Cookies" section below for more information.
Chrono retains your Personal Information securely and confidentially according to the requirements of applicable law, all to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of your Personal Information.
When you provide Personal Information to Chrono, you agree that this information may be transferred electronically over the Internet to Chrono, and that the Personal Information may also be transferred, stored, hosted, and processed on Chrono's behalf by a third party. Chrono may use private cloud servers for the storage of your Personal Information.
Personal Information collected by Chrono can only be accessed or disclosed to Chrono personnel and third parties authorized by Chrono, such as its suppliers or service providers, as needed in the context of its activities. However, some information you choose to share with us may be shared publicly.
Technical Data may also be shared with research, analysis, or strategic partners and used to improve our products and services.
We may from time to time use external suppliers and service providers to provide some of our products and services, including external payment platforms. We could thus communicate your data to these third parties, or these third parties could directly collect your Personal Information, for the purpose of providing you with certain products and services at your request.
If we need to share Personal Information with third-party suppliers, notably to ensure its security and protection, Chrono will ensure that the protection and confidentiality of this information meets this Policy and will require these suppliers to comply with it. Third-party suppliers are only authorized to use Personal Information for the purpose of rendering their services to Chrono, and Personal Information cannot be disclosed or transferred by these third parties without Chrono's consent.
However, Chrono does not sell or rent its customer lists or the Personal Information it collects to third parties.
In the event that Chrono uses the services of a third-party supplier to host and store the Personal Information it collects, this third-party supplier may be located in Canada, the United States, Europe, and/or any other country in which we or the service providers we use operate. Thus, you hereby consent to the transfer of information, including Personal Information, to jurisdictions other than your jurisdiction of residence, where data protection rules may differ from those in your jurisdiction of residence, for data hosting purposes, and Chrono will hold companies outside your jurisdiction of residence responsible, under applicable law, for all Personal Information that may be transferred to them. Chrono undertakes to respect all of its obligations under applicable law during any such cross-border transfer of your Personal Information.
However, despite Chrono's practices and procedures regarding the protection of Personal Information, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or data storage is completely secure, and no security measure can prevent all potential security breaches. Consequently, you agree not to hold Chrono, its past, present, or future employees, managers, directors, contractors, consultants, shareholders, suppliers, parent or affiliated companies, agents or representatives, predecessors, successors (collectively the "Parties"), responsible for any loss or damage, of any kind, resulting directly or indirectly from the misappropriation, interception, modification, deletion, unauthorized access to Personal Information, or a data breach concerning Personal Information provided through our Platform.
Chrono may also share Personal Information with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you communications, or provide assistance. All such third parties are prohibited from using your Personal Information, except to provide these services to Chrono, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your Personal Information.
Furthermore, we may be involved in an acquisition or merger procedure of our business, products, or services. The information we store, including names, email addresses, and other information related to our services, may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction. We may also sell, assign, or transfer this information as part of the sale of all or part of our business or assets. You will be notified by email and a notice will be posted on our Platform in the event of any change regarding the ownership of our business, our assets, or the use of your Personal Information.
Next, under applicable laws, we may be required to share Personal Information with a third party. For example, we may be required to disclose Personal Information following a court order, a subpoena, or a warrant. In addition, subject to applicable laws, we may voluntarily provide Personal Information to assist law enforcement in an investigation or when disclosure is necessary for the protection of our systems, our business, or the rights of others, including for security reasons.
Finally, rest assured that we will only share your Personal Information in the ways described above, to which you hereby consent, and in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
As the controller of your Personal Information, Chrono must comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning the protection of Personal Information based on the User's jurisdiction.
Chrono will collect, process, store, disclose, and eliminate the Personal Information you submit to us in accordance with privacy laws applicable in the jurisdiction where you are located, including without limitation applicable laws in the Province of Quebec, applicable federal laws of Canada, applicable laws and regulations in the territory of the European Union, and applicable laws in the United States. Chrono is particularly committed to respecting, depending on the User's jurisdiction of residence, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, including the updates brought by the Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information, the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act.
These laws notably grant you a right to information, access, rectification, erasure, and portability of your Personal Information, as well as the right to object to the use of your data, all in accordance with said laws.
In accordance with the aforementioned laws and regulations, you can exercise these rights at your convenience. Chrono will at all times respect all rights granted to its Users by applicable law, as more fully described below.
You can exercise these rights by contacting our Personal Information Protection Officer identified in the "Information" section below. You will then be contacted within a reasonable time to verify your identity before your request is processed.
Once the purposes for which Personal Information was collected or used are accomplished, we ensure that your Personal Information is destroyed or anonymized to the extent permitted by applicable law, except in the event of an anticipated exercise of your rights regarding your Personal Information, according to the terms provided hereafter.
While destruction is a definitive elimination process, anonymization means that your Personal Information is modified so that it no longer allows you to be identified directly or indirectly, and this, irreversibly. Destruction and anonymization are carried out securely, according to recognized best practices and according to the criteria and modalities determined by applicable laws.
We retain the Personal Information you provide to us when you create an account on our Platform, or any other information you share with us when you use our Platform for (i) the entire duration during which your account is active or (ii) for the period necessary to fulfill the purpose for which we initially collected this Personal Information, subject to exceptions required by applicable law.
Chrono undertakes to confirm the existence or non-existence of Personal Information concerning you, to give you access to your Personal Information that it holds or controls, and to make corrections to it. Thus, you can at any time request to have access to your Personal Information that we have in our possession. You can also, at any time, ask us to rectify or correct the Personal Information we hold. Indeed, it is your responsibility to provide us with Personal Information that is true and accurate, and you must inform us of any modification thereto.
In addition, you can request the communication, in a structured and commonly used technological format, of the computerized Personal Information you have provided. You can also request access to your Personal Information for your own use with the aim, notably, of storing it in a private storage space or communicating it to a third party of your choice. Furthermore, at your request, your Personal Information may also be communicated to any person or organization authorized by any applicable law to collect it.
You also have a right of objection and withdrawal concerning your Personal Information, namely the possibility of requesting that your Personal Information no longer appear in a consultation, distribution, or transmission file, or to withdraw your consent at any time. Chrono undertakes to take the necessary means to ensure that your Personal Information is erased as soon as you have exercised your right of withdrawal.
Please note that we may, within the limits permitted by applicable law, be unable to comply with requests for the deletion of your Personal Information if (i) this information has been anonymized or (ii) this is necessary to:
Note that you can limit the use of your Personal Information and refuse that your Personal Information be used for certain purposes mentioned during the collection.
