Privacy Policy

How Perpetual Solution collects, uses, keeps and protects your personal information, and how to exercise your rights under Quebec's Law 25.

Last updated: September 28, 2026

Who We Are

Perpetual Solution is a web design and software company at 5182 Philippe-Lalonde, Montreal, Quebec H4C 0C2. This policy covers our website, perpetualsolution.com, in English and French, and the information we receive through it and through our sales process.

Our Privacy Officer (person in charge of the protection of personal information) is responsible for how we handle your information. You can reach them at privacyofficer@perpetualsolution.com.

What We Collect

Information you give us

  • Contact, consultation and quote requests: your name, email address, phone number, company, the service you are interested in, your current website, the best time to call you and anything you write in your message.
  • Demo sign-ups: your name, email address and company, and which parts of the demo video you watch.
  • Job applications: your name, email address, phone number, LinkedIn profile, country, the position you apply for, your CV, an optional portfolio sample or link, your employment status, English level, availability, hourly rate and anything you tell us about yourself.
  • Emails you send us and the information in them.

Information collected automatically

  • Server logs: like every website, our server records the address (IP) of each visit, the page requested, the date and time and your browser type. We use these only for security and to fix problems.
  • Analytics, only if you accept: if you click "Accept" in our cookie banner, Google Analytics records how you use the site (pages viewed, time on site, approximate location, device type). If you decline, it is never loaded.

We do not collect sensitive information such as health, financial or government ID information through this website, and we do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing.

Why We Use It

  • To answer your request, prepare and send your quote, and follow up with you.
  • To give you access to our demo and understand which parts interest you.
  • To assess your job application.
  • To provide the services you hire us for, invoice you and meet our legal and tax obligations.
  • With your consent, to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it.
  • To keep our website and systems secure.

We only use your information for the purpose we collected it for, unless you consent to another use or the law allows it. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Analytics cookies are off by default: they are only set if you click "Accept" in our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie Settings link at the bottom of every page.

Who We Share It With

We share your information only with suppliers who need it to provide their service to us. Each one may use it only for that purpose.

  • Our hosting provider stores our website, our customer database (CRM), form submissions and our email server.
  • Microsoft 365 hosts the mailbox where our form notifications, quotes and job applications are delivered.
  • Google provides Google Analytics (only if you accept analytics cookies), the fonts used on our site, and the reviewer photos in our Google reviews section.
  • Content delivery networks (cdnjs, jsDelivr, the jQuery CDN and the Bootstrap CDN) serve some of the code our pages use. Like any website your browser contacts, they receive your IP address.
  • ExchangeRate-API supplies currency rates on our loan software pages. Your browser contacts it directly, so it receives your IP address.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it, for example in response to a court order, or to a buyer if our business is sold, in which case your information remains protected by this policy.

Information Stored Outside Quebec

Our servers and several of our suppliers are located outside Quebec. Your information may therefore be stored or processed outside Quebec. Before any such transfer, we assess whether the information will receive adequate protection, taking into account its sensitivity, the purpose of the transfer, the protection measures in place and the legal framework where it will be held. We use suppliers whose terms require them to protect it.

How Long We Keep It

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected for, then we securely destroy or anonymize it.

Contact, consultation and quote requests (including quote PDFs and related emails)5 years after our last contact with you
Client records (contracts, invoices, account and project files)For as long as you are a client, then 7 years after our relationship ends

Your Rights

Under Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Law 25), you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct it if it is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
  • Withdraw your consent to its use at any time, including your consent to analytics cookies.
  • Ask us to stop distributing your information or to de-index any link to it, where the law allows.
  • Receive it in a structured, commonly used format (data portability).
  • Know what information we hold, why, who has access to it and how long we keep it.

To exercise any of these rights, write to our Privacy Officer at privacyofficer@perpetualsolution.com. We may ask you to confirm your identity. We will answer within 30 days, free of charge.

If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can file a complaint with the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec.

Security & Incidents

We protect your information with measures suited to its sensitivity: encrypted connections (HTTPS), access limited to the people who need it, files such as CVs and quotes stored outside the public part of our website, and spam and abuse protection on our forms.

No system is completely secure. If a confidentiality incident occurs, we record it in our incident register, take steps to reduce the risk of harm, and, if there is a risk of serious injury, promptly notify the Commission d'accès à l'information and the people affected.

How We Manage Privacy

  • Responsibility: our Privacy Officer oversees how personal information is handled and approves any destruction of it.
  • Access: only team members who need information to do their work can see it.
  • Collection: every form on our site states why we collect the information, where it is kept and how to reach our Privacy Officer.
  • Retention and destruction: we follow the periods above and keep a record when information is destroyed.
  • Complaints: questions and complaints go to our Privacy Officer, who answers within 30 days.
  • Children: our services are for businesses and organizations. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 14.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. We will post the new version on this page and update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we will say so clearly on our website before it takes effect.
