Privacy policy

The Support Committee of 2671 Trois-Rivières Army Cadet Corps and 772 Vanier Air Cadet Squadron (“the committee”) respects your privacy. This page explains what personal information the 2unites1force.ca website and our 2u1f.ca short links collect, why, and how long it is kept, in accordance with Quebec’s Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Law 25).

Short links and QR codes (2u1f.ca)

When you use a 2u1f.ca short link or scan one of our QR codes, we automatically record:

  • the date and time of the visit, the link used and whether it came from a QR code;
  • your IP address and the approximate location derived from it (country, region, city);
  • technical information sent by your browser: device type, browser, operating system, preferred language and referring page;
  • campaign parameters included in the link (for example utm_source);
  • a random identifier kept for 2 years in a cookie on the 2u1f.ca domain, which lets us tell new visitors from returning ones.

This information is used only to measure the effectiveness of our fundraising campaigns and communications. It is never sold or shared, and it is not used to identify you personally.

Retention

IP addresses are automatically anonymized after 12 months (the last part of the address is erased). Other visit statistics are kept in anonymous form.

Contact form

The information you enter in the contact form (name, e-mail, message) is sent by e-mail to the person in charge of the chosen topic so they can reply to you. It is not stored in the website’s database.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to the newsletter, we keep your name and e-mail address, your connection with the units and your consent (date and wording accepted) for as long as you are subscribed. Unconfirmed requests are deleted after 7 days. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Text messages

If you give us your mobile number and agree to receive text messages, we keep that number and your consent (date and wording accepted) for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. You can remove your number at any time on the newsletter preferences page; it is erased if you unsubscribe.

The number is used to send you our urgent notices (cancellations, weather, last-minute changes) and to exchange text messages with committee members, for example to answer your questions.

Text messages sent and received (number, content, date, delivery status and, for ours, the committee member who wrote it) are kept for 12 months and then deleted automatically, together with the conversation’s tags and read status. Only committee members authorized for the unit concerned can see them.

If you reply STOP (or ARRÊT), we stop texting you and your consent is withdrawn. We keep only your number on an exclusion list, with no time limit, to respect your request. To receive our urgent notices again, reply START (or DÉBUT) and give your consent again on the preferences page.

Text messages are carried by our text messaging provider, whose servers may be located outside Quebec.

Audience measurement and bot protection

The website uses Google Analytics to produce overall traffic statistics, and Google reCAPTCHA to protect the contact and newsletter forms against bots. These services may set cookies and process some technical data under their own privacy policies.

Your rights and the person in charge of personal information

You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal information, or ask any question about this policy, by writing to the committee’s person in charge of the protection of personal information through the contact form (choose “General information”).
