Privacy policy

Introduction

Our goal is to provide you with the most personalized, relevant and user-friendly Web experience possible. Your personal information is used primarily to efficiently provide you with relevant information or services.

The Association des Archambault d’Amérique does not sell, rent or otherwise distribute the personal information you provide to us. The Association will not disclose your personal information except with your knowledge and consent, as described in this policy or as may be required by law or to protect the rights or property of the Association des Archambault d’Amérique.

The Association des Archambault d’Amérique owns a database on Heredis genealogy software, which contains over 40,000 individuals from more than 12 generations back to the ancestor Jacques. This family tree is not published on the Internet, but is on a computer dedicated to genealogy, owned by the Association des Archambault d’Amérique. Entries made before June 19, 2019 come from Ancestry, data accumulated by an Archambault who offered us his family tree to start our tree. To read Ancestry’s Privacy Policy, click here. Entries made in the Heredis tree thereafter come from information voluntarily entrusted to us by our members, information that has been verified as reliable, and is the property of the Association des Archambault d’Amérique, which may use it for genealogical purposes. This family tree is not published on the Internet. Only authorized persons have access.

Cookies

Contrary to popular belief, cookies do not extract private or personal information from your computer’s memory. Their only use by our site is to allow you to perform different tasks during a single work session on our site.

Your IP address is also collected, but anonymized (truncated) to ensure the confidentiality of your information. Anonymizing an IP address prevents the identity of an Internet user from being known through it.
