Introduction
Rudy Abitbol (“I”, “me” or “my”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains how I collect, use and protect your information when you visit rudyabitbol.com (the “Website”) or engage my consulting, training and speaking services.
Person responsible for personal information
I am the person responsible for the protection of personal information collected through the Website, as required by Québec’s Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector. You can reach me through the Contact page.
Information I collect
Information you provide
- Contact information: name, email address, phone number and company name when you fill out the contact form.
- Professional information: your role, company details, industry and project needs when we discuss a potential engagement.
- Communication data: messages, inquiries and correspondence you send me.
Information collected automatically
- Usage data: pages visited and the referring page, recorded by a first-party, cookie-free page view counter.
- Technical data: country, browser type and IP address, as processed by my hosting provider to deliver and secure the Website.
- Audience measurement: Google Analytics 4 records pages viewed, the referring site, approximate location (city level), device and browser type. IP addresses are anonymized, and Google signals and ad personalization are turned off. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, Google Analytics is not loaded. You can also opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Cookies: the Website does not use advertising cookies. Google Analytics sets first-party analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_*) that expire after up to 13 months. My hosting provider may set strictly necessary security cookies.
How I use your information
- To respond to your inquiries and provide the services you request.
- To deliver consulting, training and speaking engagements.
- To send updates you have asked to receive.
- To understand how the Website is used and improve it.
- To comply with legal obligations.
Data sharing
I do not sell, trade or rent your personal information. I share it only in these circumstances:
- Service providers: tools that help me operate the Website, such as hosting (Cloudflare), email delivery (Postmark), audience measurement (Google Analytics) and web fonts (Google Fonts).
- Legal requirements: when required by law or to protect my legal rights.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, sale or transfer of business assets.
Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing the use of your information.
Data security
I use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure.
Data retention
I keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting and reporting requirements. Contact form submissions are generally kept for three years unless you ask me to delete them sooner.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access: request a copy of your personal information.
- Correction: request that inaccurate information be corrected.
- Deletion: request that your personal information be deleted.
- Withdraw consent: unsubscribe from communications at any time.
- Portability: request that your information be transferred to another organization.
International transfers
I work with clients in Canada, the United States and France, and my service providers may process information outside Québec. I make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including Québec’s private sector privacy law, PIPEDA and, where they apply, the GDPR and CCPA.
Children’s privacy
The Website is not intended for children under 16. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Updates to this policy
I may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last updated.
