1. Who we are
CourseQuébec (the "Site") is a platform dedicated to running in Québec, operated by H1Site. For any questions about this policy or your personal data, contact us at info@h1site.com.
2. Data we collect
We only collect data necessary to operate the Site:
- Newsletter signup: email address.
- User account: email, name (if you add one), profile picture (if you add one), via Supabase Auth.
- User-generated content: events, GPS routes, stores, comments and photos you publish on the Site.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, visit duration — collected via Google Analytics and our server logs.
- Cookies and ad identifiers: see the Cookies section below.
3. How we use your data
- Provide Site features (calendar, routes, planner, accounts).
- Send our newsletter (only if you opted in) and a confirmation email when you sign up.
- Improve the Site with aggregated analytics.
- Display advertising via Google AdSense (only if you accepted advertising cookies).
- Comply with our legal obligations.
4. Sharing with third parties
We never sell your data. We only share the minimum necessary with the following processors, all bound by confidentiality:
- Supabase (USA / EU) — database hosting and authentication.
- Vercel (USA) — Site hosting.
- Resend (USA) — email delivery (newsletter, notifications).
- Google Analytics (USA) — anonymized audience analytics.
- Google AdSense (USA) — advertising delivery (only after consent).
Some of these services may transfer your data outside Canada. We use providers that adhere to recognized legal frameworks (Standard Contractual Clauses, Data Privacy Framework).
5. Cookies and advertising
The Site uses three categories of cookies:
- Essential (always on): login session, language preferences.
- Analytics (consent required in EU/UK/CH): Google Analytics — to understand how the Site is used.
- Advertising (consent required in EU/UK/CH): Google AdSense — to display contextual and personalized ads.
A Google Funding Choices consent banner lets you accept or reject analytics and advertising cookies. You can change your choice at any time via the consent window (which reappears on the next page load after clearing cookies).
6. Data retention
- User accounts: as long as your account remains active. You can delete it anytime.
- Newsletter signups: until you unsubscribe.
- Analytics data: kept for a maximum of 14 months (Google Analytics setting).
- Server logs: 30 days.
7. Your rights
Under Quebec Law 25, the GDPR (Europe), and similar laws, you have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you.
- Correct or complete it.
- Request its deletion ("right to be forgotten").
- Object to its use for advertising purposes.
- Withdraw your consent at any time.
- File a complaint with the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec or a European data protection authority.
To exercise these rights, write to info@h1site.com. We respond within a maximum of 30 days.
8. Security
We use HTTPS across the Site, hashed passwords (Supabase Auth), and restrict data access to people who strictly need it. No system is perfectly secure; in the event of a security incident affecting your data, we will notify you as required by law.
9. Minors
The Site is not intended for children under 14. If you are a parent and find that your child has provided us with personal data without your consent, contact us to have it deleted.
10. Changes
This policy may be updated. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. Significant changes will be notified to you by email if you are subscribed.
