Privacy Policy

Your Personal Information & This Website
Last updated: October 21, 2026

Introduction

Thank you for your trust in us. At Alexem Studio, we are committed to protecting the personal information of our visitors, clients, and the people we work with. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, where it is stored, with whom it is shared, and what your rights are—whether you’re using our website or engaging our design, web, and marketing services.

Alexem Studio Inc. is headquartered in Quebec. We comply with the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Bill 25) and, when required by a mandate, with the Act respecting health information and social services.

We may modify this policy at any time. The current version is posted on this page, along with the date of the last update.

Privacy Officer

The Privacy Officer at Alexem Studio Inc. is Alexandra Emond, President. She ensures compliance with this policy, responds to requests for access and correction, and handles complaints.

Visitor Responsibility

By using the alexemstudio.com website, you agree to this policy. Our website may contain links to other websites that we do not operate. This policy does not cover those websites or the practices of those third parties.

Nature of the Information

Non-Personal Information

Usage information is collected for all visitors on an anonymous basis: IP address, frequency and times of visits, pages viewed, and approximate city. This information is collected by Google Analytics, with your consent, and is used solely to understand how the site is used and to improve it.

Personal Information

Depending on your relationship with us, we may collect: your name, your company name, your address, your phone number, your email address, your billing and payment information, the content of your requests and our communications, as well as the information necessary to fulfill an assignment.

No personal information is collected without your knowledge. We collect only what is necessary for the purposes described below.

Cookies

We use CookieYes to manage your consent to cookies. Non-essential cookies are only set with your consent. For more information, please see our Cookie Policy.

When Do We Collect Your Information?

  • When you accept or configure cookies upon arriving at the site.
  • When you fill out our contact form or schedule an appointment with us.
  • When you accept a quote, sign an agreement, or pay an invoice—either on our management platform or through QuickBooks.
  • When you download a free resource or subscribe to our newsletter.
  • When you interact with our social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok) or with our posts elsewhere (Google, Medium).
  • When you do business with Alexem Studio as a client, or when you participate in a project for one of our clients.

Why We Use Your Information

  • To respond to your requests, prepare proposals, and carry out the projects you entrust to us.
  • To manage business relationships: billing, payments, project tracking, and post-delivery service.
  • To send you our newsletter, if you have given your consent. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of each email.
  • To improve our website and services based on usage statistics.
  • To comply with our legal, accounting, and tax obligations.

We do not sell your information, nor do we use it for targeted advertising. If you leave us a testimonial, we may publish it on our website, social media, and promotional materials. We may showcase projects completed by Alexem Studio for portfolio purposes, subject to the agreements entered into with each client.

Match Records

Our video conference and phone meetings are recorded and transcribed for note-taking and case tracking purposes, using transcription tools whose servers are located outside of Quebec. The recording tool is visible during the meeting. If you prefer not to be recorded, please let us know at the beginning of the meeting, and we will stop the recording. Recordings are deleted when they are no longer needed.

Artificial Intelligence

We use the AI assistant Claude (Anthropic) through an organizational account—whose data is not used to train models—for writing, analysis, coding, and project tracking. All results are verified by a person before being used or delivered. No decisions regarding you are made entirely by automated means. If you prefer that artificial intelligence not be used in your project, please let us know in writing: we will respect your choice.

Where Is Your Information Stored?

The websites we host for our clients, as well as our management platform, are hosted on a server located in Quebec (OVH, Beauharnois).

For our day-to-day operations, we use cloud-based tools whose servers are located outside of Quebec, primarily in the United States and the European Union: Google Workspace (email and documents), ClickUp (project management), Slack (communications), QuickBooks (billing), Mailchimp (newsletter), Figma and Adobe (design), Claude (artificial intelligence), Gemini and Notta (meeting transcription). Before entrusting personal information to these tools, we assessed privacy-related factors, as required by Bill 25, and we rely on these providers’ contractual security and confidentiality guarantees. Some members of our team may work from outside Quebec, under the same security conditions.

Health information and sensitive information are never processed using these tools without a specific written agreement with the client in question.

Who We Share Your Information With

We do not share your personal information with any third party without your consent, except:

  • to the suppliers listed above, who process them on our behalf and solely for the purposes of providing their services;
  • to our accountants, legal advisors, and insurers, when necessary;
  • to a public authority, when required by law.

Every member of our team—whether an employee or a consultant—has signed a confidentiality agreement. Engagements involving sensitive information are subject to a separate confidentiality agreement specific to that engagement.

Security

We protect your information using measures appropriate to its sensitivity: named accounts, two-factor authentication, encrypted connections, access limited to those who need it, backups, and access logging. In the event of a privacy incident that poses a risk of serious harm, we notify the Commission d’accès à l’information and the individuals concerned, and we maintain a record of such incidents.

How long do we keep them?

  • Customer information: for the duration of the business relationship, and thereafter for the period required by our accounting and tax obligations (seven years).
  • Unaccepted contact requests and proposals: no more than two years.
  • Newsletter: until you unsubscribe.
  • Records of meetings: until they are no longer needed for the mandate.

Once these purposes have been fulfilled, we securely destroy the information or anonymize it.

Your Rights

  • Access and Correction: You may request to review the information we have about you and have it corrected.
  • Withdrawal of Consent: You may withdraw your consent at any time, including for the newsletter and cookies.
  • Deletion: You may request that your information be deleted, subject to our legal obligations to retain it.
  • Data Portability: You may request a copy of the information you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

To exercise these rights, please fill out the form below or email hello@alexemstudio.com. We will respond within thirty (30) days.

Complaints

If you have a complaint regarding the processing of your personal information, please submit it in writing to the data protection officer at hello@alexemstudio.com. We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint, review it, and respond in writing with a detailed explanation within thirty (30) days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec.

Both options offer flexibility and priority, but hourly plans allow for more continuous management of your projects.
