Privacy Terms
Your privacy is important to us
Loto-Québec cares about respecting the privacy of its customers, users of its sites, products, applications and services, as well as that of its employees. In accordance with the obligations established by the Act respecting access to documents held by public bodies and the protection of personal information, Loto-Québec has adopted a governance framework with regard to the protection of personal information, relying on its experience in integrity and security of its operations. Robust measures are therefore in place to ensure the protection of your information.
Our commitments, as well as the roles and responsibilities of the various stakeholders, are described in our Personal Information Protection within Information Management Policy [in French only, PDF – 213 KB].
Personal information protection framework
Loto-Québec ensures that any personal information is collected in accordance with the provisions of the law. Our Privacy Policy informs you how we collect, use and disclose certain information that you provide when using our platforms, applications, products and services. Additional details are also available in the conditions of use of our various products, services and programs.
A collective effort
All members of management and staff are called upon to participate in the responsible management of personal information. Awareness and training activities are put in place to ensure compliance with obligations and good practices.
Measures implemented
Loto-Québec follows up on any incident involving personal information. An assessment of the situation is made immediately, and the necessary measures are taken to reduce the risk of injury being caused. If an incident presents a risk of serious injury, the persons concerned and the Commission d’access à l’information will be notified. If such an incident has an impact on Loto-Québec's IT environment, a response plan is also deployed to correct any problem identified.
Loto-Québec also ensures that user privacy is at the heart of the design of any business or technological project. All projects are therefore subject to a privacy impact assessment and include measures in order to reduce risks to a minimum.
Finally, when personal information is collected as part of a survey, a directive governs its completion. An assessment of the necessity to use it is carried out, which ensures the ethical use of the information collected, the voluntary nature of the survey, as well as the application of measures necessary to protect the personal information processed in this context, taking into account, among other things, its sensitivity and the purpose for which it is used.
