Privacy policy

This is a translation provided for convenience. If it differs from the French version, the French version prevails.

In effect on October 2, 2026.

Agent de sécurité Québec (agentdesecuritequebec.com) connects security guards and security agencies in Quebec. This policy explains what information we collect, why, with whom it is shared and how we protect it, in accordance with the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Law 25).

1. Information collected

• Guards: login email, first name, phone number, postal code, languages spoken, licence categories, training dates, availability, means of transportation, blocked agencies and email preferences.
• Agencies: name, BSP licence number, address, phone number, website, login email, work locations (address, details) and posts offered.
• Exchanges: expressions of interest sent by agencies, guards' replies, reports.
• Payments (agency subscription): processed entirely by Stripe. We neither receive nor keep any card number. We see only the amount, the date and the name entered.
• Browsing: the postal code search tool runs in your browser, and the code typed to search is not recorded. The site uses no advertising cookies.
• Articles read: to show you first the articles you have not read, the site notes in your browser the ones you have opened. This list stays on your device. It is never sent to us and is erased with the browsing data.
• Ads by region: to display the ads for your region, the site estimates it from your internet address, approximately. This estimate is not recorded and is used for nothing else.
• Traffic measurement: we count visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookie and does not make it possible to identify you. If you accept it in the banner provided for that purpose, we also use Google Analytics, which sets cookies to measure the use of the site. This data is processed by Google, possibly outside Quebec. You can change your choice at any time.
• Search engine optimization: every page loads a Search Atlas script that adjusts certain technical elements of the page (titles, descriptions, structured data) for search engines. This script is hosted by Search Atlas, possibly outside Quebec.

2. Use

This information is used only to:

• display the guards' anonymous profiles to verified agencies and rank them by distance and by the requirements of a post
• send the agencies' offers to guards, and the guards' contact information to the agencies they accept
• send training expiry reminders
• check agency licences in the BSP's public register and process reports
• process the payments for the agency subscription.

We do not sell, rent or lend any information, and we do not use it for advertising purposes.

3. What is visible, and to whom

• Guard profile: verified agencies see an anonymous profile (area limited to the first 3 characters of the postal code, licences, training still valid without its date, languages, availability, transportation). The first name, the email, the phone number and the list of blocked agencies are never shown.
• An agency blocked by a guard never sees that guard's profile and is not told about it.
• An agency receives a guard's first name, email and phone number only if the guard accepts its offer.
• Agency listing: the name, the licence number, the address, the phone number and the website are public, in the job search. The login email stays private.

4. Recipients and suppliers

Your information is communicated only to the persons described above and to the suppliers that make the site work, each for its role only:

Some of these suppliers may keep data outside Quebec, in particular in the United States. We chose them because they apply recognized security measures.

5. Method of communication

We communicate with you by email only: login link, agency offers (right away or as a digest, depending on the frequency you choose in your profile), replies, training reminders and notices about your account. You can change the frequency of offers, or choose to no longer receive them by email, in "My profile". We will never call you to ask for a password or a payment.

6. Security measures

• The whole site runs on an encrypted connection (HTTPS).
• Login without a password, through a single-use link sent to your email.
• Access rules in the database: each person can read or change only their own information. The public sees only anonymous profiles and the listings of verified agencies.
• Guards' contact information leaves the database only through an explicit acceptance by the guard.
• The services' secret keys are stored in an encrypted vault and are never published.
• Only the site administrator has access to the complete information, for the verification of agencies and the processing of reports.
• We collect the minimum necessary: for example, no full address is asked of guards.

7. Retention

• Your profile or your listing is kept as long as your account exists.
• A guard can delete their own profile at any time, in "My profile". Their information is then erased.
• Expressions of interest more than 90 days old are no longer displayed.
• If a profile is the subject of a report, we can freeze the account for the time needed to check: the profile is hidden from agencies and can no longer be changed or deleted, but nothing is erased. Once the verification is finished, you can ask for erasure.

8. Your rights

You can at any time ask to view your information, have it corrected, withdraw your consent or have it erased. We reply within 30 days. If you believe that your rights are not respected, you can contact the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec.

9. Person in charge and contact

Person in charge of the protection of personal information: Martin Archambault.
