1.Who We Are
Siziom Développement RH, inc. (“Siziom HR”) is a Quebec-based consultancy providing payroll, human resources, compensation, and employer-compliance services. This policy explains how personal information is handled through this website.
2.Privacy Officer and Applicable Laws
Simon Ouellet is Siziom HR’s privacy officer and the person responsible for the protection of personal information. For questions, access or correction requests, complaints, or to withdraw consent, contact prp@siziom-rh.ca.
Siziom HR handles personal information under Quebec’s Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector, as amended by Law 25, and other applicable federal, provincial, and territorial laws. The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) may apply to federally regulated activities and to personal information that crosses provincial, territorial, or national borders in commercial activities. The law that applies depends on the circumstances.
3.Personal Information We Collect and Why
The contact form asks for your name, email address, company name, number of employees, province or territory, requested service, and message. This information is used only to respond to your request and to communicate with you about it. The server validates the request and then forwards it by email to Siziom HR’s mailbox (admin@siziom-rh.ca). The form content is not saved to a website database. Please do not submit sensitive information or employee records.
To limit abuse, the server creates a keyed hash of your IP address and keeps it in a temporary file for no more than 10 minutes. A random technical identifier for each submission is kept for up to 24 hours to prevent duplicate sends. The raw IP address and form contents are not retained by the website.
4.Hosting and Processing Outside Quebec
This website and the service that handles contact requests are hosted by Hostinger. If you consent, Google LLC also processes browsing data through Google Analytics and Google Ads. These providers’ infrastructure may process information, as well as technical connection data such as IP addresses, outside Quebec, including in the United States. Before communicating personal information outside Quebec, Siziom HR completes the privacy impact assessment required by law and ensures, through a written agreement, that the information receives adequate protection. See Hostinger’s Privacy Policy. Links to social networks do not load third-party content on this site; those services may process information if you choose to visit them.
5.Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
Only with your consent, this site uses Google Analytics 4 (audience measurement) and Google Ads (ad conversion measurement and, where applicable, personalized advertising), both services of Google LLC. These tools rely on cookies and tags (pixels) that may collect technical information: pages viewed, how you arrived (for example, from an ad), device and browser type, approximate region, cookie identifiers, and interactions such as submitting the contact form. Google Analytics 4 does not store your full IP address.
These tools are off by default. They load only if you accept them in the privacy notice, category by category. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of every page; the related Google cookies are then deleted from your browser. Declining has no effect on your access to the site.
Cookies used after consent: _ga and _ga_* (Google Analytics, about 13 months); _gcl_* (Google Ads, about 90 days). The site also stores your language and privacy choices in your browser’s local storage, without sending them anywhere. The site does not embed social media content. Learn more: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
6.Retention and Security
The website does not retain contact-form content. The email received by Siziom HR is kept in its mailbox for as long as needed to handle your request and follow up on the business relationship, then deleted when no longer needed. The IP-derived hash used to limit abuse is deleted after 10 minutes. Google Analytics data is kept in our account for no more than 14 months, then deleted automatically. We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information.
7.Your Rights and Complaints
Depending on the law that applies, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information where applicable; withdraw consent where applicable; and, in certain cases, obtain a copy in a commonly used digital format. Contact prp@siziom-rh.ca to exercise a right or make a complaint to Siziom HR.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec or, where PIPEDA applies, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
8.Incidents and Policy Updates
