Security: your data

Equimaf has implemented state-of-the-art security measures to protect you against the loss or unauthorized use of your information, particularly that relating to your credit card. The equimaf.ca servers use the most recent information transmission technology ("Secure Socket Layers" SSL), which makes it highly secure.

All your personal data is encrypted by SSL when it is entered, which makes it impossible to read it while it is being transferred via the Internet. No information related to the order, including your name, address and credit card number, is circulated openly on the Internet.

This security service is provided by a specialist in "Trust services" on the Internet.

In addition, the servers that host equimaf.ca are protected by firewall technology. Équimaf has taken care to deal with world-renowned web providers to allow secure transactions on the Site at all times. However, no security mechanism is perfect and you must be aware that there is always a certain level of risk that the personal information you transmit to equimaf.ca may be disclosed without fault on the part of Equimaf. and without your consent. Equimaf declines all responsibility with regard to the fact that such confidential information about you may be disclosed, except in the event of negligence on the part of Equimaf. It should be noted that, for your security, no information relating to credit cards is kept on the servers that equimaf.ca uses. If you are concerned about confidentiality relating to the use of your credit card on the Internet, Équimaf invites you to submit your order by phone and speak to one of the representatives of equimaf.ca.

Équimaf reserves the right to modify this policy at any time. Équimaf also reserves the right to transmit personal information concerning you to the extent that the law obliges Équimaf to do so or in order to protect its property rights of the Site or those of its users, sponsors, advertisers or suppliers.

Safety of children and adolescents on the Internet

More and more children and adolescents are using Internet services and are benefiting from them in many ways. However, as is the case in any other environment, they can become the target of crime or exploitation because they are more vulnerable. That is why we recommend that you monitor your children and teenagers' use of your Internet service and give them certain safety and common sense tips and recommendations. Such measures often prevent your children and adolescents from being exposed to offensive data, whether they are victims of harassment or other criminal acts.

To reduce the risk that your children and adolescents will be exposed to such perils, provide reasonable supervision of their use of your Internet service. Your children and adolescents should be aware that personal information such as their name, phone number or address should never be disclosed in forums. It is important that your children and teens are encouraged to share their concerns with you if they receive messages that make them uncomfortable or upset. These recommendations will help your children and adolescents navigate the Internet in an informed manner and will allow you to make sure that your children and adolescents take full advantage of all the elements that the service makes available to them to enrich their development.
