Privacy policy
In effect October 31, 2026. Last updated October 31, 2026.
Who we are
This website is operated by LES MAGASINS NADEAU INC. (Quebec business number 1146442455), doing business as Le Picnic.
This policy explains what personal information we collect on lepicnic.ca, why, who it is shared with, and what your rights are.
Effective 22 septembre 2026. Last updated 31 octobre 2026.
What we collect, and why
When you fill out the form on lepicnic.ca, we collect only this:
- Votre adresse courriel : vous inscrire à l'infolettre du Picnic et vous l'envoyer
- La langue du site où vous vous inscrivez (chosen from a list) : vous écrire en français ou en anglais
Nothing else
We do not ask for your date of birth, social insurance number, or banking information. We do not buy lists, and we do not collect anything without your knowledge.
How this information reaches us
Our only means of collection are the website form, which you fill out voluntarily.
Cookies and tracking tools
An audience measurement tool run by JNT Productions, which sets no cookie and does not follow you from one site to another is active on the site. We name it here so you know exactly what runs during your visit.
Measured in a real browser on October 31, 2026.
What the site keeps in your browser
The site saves a few settings on your device. They go nowhere and are not used to identify you:
- NEXT_LOCALE : remember whether you read the site in French or in English
Who your information is shared with
We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not trade it with anyone for advertising. It goes only to the providers that let us operate:
- Vercel, for l'hébergement: l'adresse IP et la requête de votre navigateur, dans ses journaux techniques
- Brevo, for l'infolettre: votre adresse courriel et la langue du site, si vous vous inscrivez à l'infolettre
- JNT Productions, for la mesure de fréquentation: les pages vues, le temps passé et les clics sur la page, et le site d'où vous arrivez, sans témoin
Where this information is processed
These providers are North American companies. Your information may therefore be processed or hosted in North America, in particular for website hosting and message delivery.
We choose providers that contractually commit to protecting your information and to using it only for the service they provide to us.
Who has access
Your information arrives in Le Picnic's email inbox and is read by the people who handle requests. The website makes it available to no one else.
How long we keep it
The website itself keeps nothing: it has no database. Your message is passed along, and the site no longer holds it.
Once received, your information is kept by Le Picnic for as long as needed to answer you and, if a business relationship follows, for the duration of that relationship and any period required by law. It is then destroyed.
You can ask us to delete it sooner: see your rights, below.
How it is protected
The site is served entirely over HTTPS: what you type is encrypted between your browser and us. Access to the inboxes and tools that receive your information is password-protected and limited to the people who need it.
No system is infallible. If an incident affected your information and posed a serious risk, we would notify you and the Commission d'accès à l'information, as the law requires.
Refusing, and what it changes
Filling out the form is voluntary. If you would rather not type anything online, call or email us: we will then only have what you tell us. The only effect of refusing is that we cannot reply to you in writing.
You can withdraw your consent at any time, without having to explain yourself.
Your rights
Quebec law gives you the right, regarding your personal information, to:
- know what we hold and obtain a copy of it (access)
- have anything inaccurate, incomplete or ambiguous corrected (rectification)
- withdraw your consent and ask us to stop using it
- ask for its deletion
- ask to receive it in a common computerized format (portability)
How to exercise these rights
Write to us at gabriel@lepicnic.ca. We reply within the 30 days set by law. We may need to verify your identity before releasing information: that is to protect you.
If our answer does not satisfy you, you may file a complaint with the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec (cai.gouv.qc.ca), which has the power to review your file.
The person responsible for protecting your information
Any question or request about your personal information is handled by the person with the highest authority at Le Picnic. You can reach them at gabriel@lepicnic.ca.
That person's name will be listed here shortly.
