information exchanged automatically with the server
Upon your access to the gfdesign.ca site, as with any other website, an exchange of information takes place automatically between your computer and my site’s server, due to the technological requirements inherent in web browsing. The following information, which does not personally identify you, is exchanged:

- the type of browser and operating system used to access my site
- the date and time you access my site
- the pages you visit;
- if you reach my site from another site, the address of that site (referral site).
This exchange of information is necessary for the server to send you a file compatible with the computer equipment you are using. Geneviève Fournier Design also keeps track of the number of visitors, the pages visited the most, the technology used by the site’s clientele and the referral sites.

The Geneviève Fournier Design website does not collect any personal information without your consent.

- whether the request is mandatory or optional
- the consequences of refusing to respond to the request;
- the rights of access and rectification provided by law.

In addition, you may be contacted from time to time by Geneviève Fournier Design for activities other than those for which you have registered and for an annual update of my database.

This information is not shared with any other organization. Your explicit consent will be required for any transmission to a third party of data concerning you.
