Privacy policy
This site and its client portal collect information about gymnasts, many of whom are minors. Here is exactly what is collected, why, where it is stored, for how long, and how to have it erased.
01 Who is responsible
Marie-Laurence Deschênes, choreographer, is the person responsible for the protection of personal information for this site and its client portal. Any question, or request for access, correction or withdrawal is handled directly with her, at the address given at the bottom of this page.
02 What is collected
Through the request form on the public site — the name of the person writing, their email address, the gymnast's name and level, and the message itself. This information is used only to answer the request.
Through the client portal, once an agreement is in place:
- the name of the parent or account holder, their email address and phone number;
- the gymnast's name, club, competition level and season;
- scheduled sessions, message exchanges with Marie-Laurence, and invoices;
- reference videos of the routines and music files uploaded for the gymnast.
No banking information is collected: payments are settled outside the site. No profiling, no advertising, no advertising trackers, and nothing is ever sold to anyone.
03 Consent, and the case of minors
The portal handles information about minors, including their image on video. In accordance with Law 25, this information is collected only with the consent of the parent or guardian, who is the account holder.
This consent is separate, free and informed: it is requested when the file is opened, it states the exact use of the videos (helping the gymnast memorize the routine and follow her progress), and it can be withdrawn at any time by a simple email, without justification.
Videos are never published, broadcast or used for promotional purposes without additional, specific written consent.
04 What it is used for
The information is used only to create the choreography, schedule and confirm sessions, communicate with the family, deliver the routine's videos and music, and invoice the service provided. It is used for no other purpose.
05 Who has access
Marie-Laurence Deschênes alone has access to all files. Each family can access only its own file: this is enforced by the database itself, not merely by what the site displays.
Information is hosted with Supabase, on servers located in Canada (Montreal and Toronto region), and the site is delivered by Vercel. No information is shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
06 How it is protected
- Portal sign-in by single-use link sent by email: no password to remember, lose or have stolen.
- Access by invitation only — it is not possible to create an account yourself.
- Videos and files are held in a private space, reachable only through a temporary link valid for a few minutes, generated for the signed-in person.
- All communications are encrypted (HTTPS).
07 How long it is kept
- Public form requests that led to nothing: erased no later than 12 months after being received.
- Client files, videos and music: kept for the duration of the business relationship, then 24 months after the last session — the time a routine serves two competition seasons. They are then deleted.
- Invoices: kept for as long as applicable tax and accounting obligations require.
A family may request earlier deletion at any time.
08 Your rights
Any person concerned — or the parent of a minor gymnast — may, free of charge:
- consult the information held about them;
- have corrected any inaccurate or incomplete information;
- withdraw consent and request deletion of the file and the videos;
- receive a copy of the information provided, in a structured, commonly used technological format (portability).
An answer is given within a maximum of 30 days. In case of disagreement, a complaint may be filed with the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec (cai.gouv.qc.ca).
09 Cookies
The public site uses no tracking cookies and no analytics tools. The portal keeps in the browser a session token strictly necessary to keep the person signed in; it disappears on sign-out.
10 Confidentiality incident
Should an incident present a risk of serious injury, the persons concerned and the Commission d'accès à l'information are notified promptly, and the incident is recorded in a register, as the law requires.
11 Changes
Any change to this policy is published on this page, with an updated date. Families registered on the portal are notified by email if the change is significant.
