Your information.
A clear purpose.
This policy explains what information ATELIER AI collects through this website, why, where it is kept, for how long, and how to exercise your rights.
Who we are
ATELIER AI is the trade name used by its founder, a sole proprietorship based in the Montréal area (Québec). The business is not incorporated at this time.
Person responsible for personal information
The founder of ATELIER AI is responsible for the protection of personal information. For any question or request: bonjour@atelier-ai.org.
What we collect
For the free checklist: your first name, email, preferred language, your answers to the 1-minute check if you completed it before requesting the checklist and, if you tick it, your choice to receive practical tips by email. For a project inquiry: your name, email, optional phone number, a description of your need and, if you started from a specific section, its topic; for website inquiries, also your business and industry. For the AI assessment: the same contact details plus your answers (industry, team size, main challenge, time spent, tools, data readiness, goal, solutions tried, timeline and indicative budget) and your optional comment. We also record the date and your consent choices.
Why we use it
To process your request, send you the checklist or assessment result you asked for, reply to your inquiry and, if you request it, contact you about your project. The assessment result is produced by fixed rules from your answers; it is not a decision about you and your answers are not sent to an AI model. The optional tips series is sent only if you tick that box, and every email will include a way to unsubscribe. Sending that series is not active yet.
Where your information goes
Forms are received and stored by Netlify Forms, our hosting provider (Netlify, Inc.). Its servers may be located outside Québec, including in the United States. A copy of each inquiry may be sent to our business email so we can reply. Some members of our team work outside Québec, in the United States and Asia, and may access your information to handle your request; this access is limited to what is necessary. If you book a call, the booking is made on Google Calendar (Google LLC), which receives the details you enter there. The website loads its fonts from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address when the page loads. We do not sell your information and there is no public list of inquiries.
Cookies and analytics
We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels. To understand how the site is used, we measure visits and a few clicks (for example, opening a form) with Umami, a cookieless analytics tool hosted in the United States. It does not use cookies and does not identify you personally. Our hosting provider may keep technical logs, such as IP addresses, for security and operations.
How long we keep it
An inquiry or checklist request that does not lead to a project is deleted 24 months after our last exchange. For clients, project records and accounting documents are kept as long as required by tax rules, generally 6 years. Your consent to receive tips applies until you withdraw it.
Your rights
You may ask to access your information, correct it, withdraw your consent or have it deleted when it is no longer needed. Write to bonjour@atelier-ai.org; we reply within 30 days. You may also file a complaint with the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec.
Security and incidents
Access to your information is limited to the people who need it to handle your request. If a confidentiality incident presents a risk of serious injury, we will notify the people concerned and the Commission d’accès à l’information, as required by law.
Please avoid
Do not send confidential documents, your customers’ information or sensitive personal data in the comment fields.
