Privacy policy

Who is responsible

Kris Kinokewin (Christian Boivin), artist, is responsible for protecting the personal information collected by this website. For any question or request, write to kris.kinokewin@gmail.com.

This policy explains what information the website collects, why, who it is shared with and how long it is kept, in accordance with Québec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Law 25).

What the website collects

When you fill out the “Write to Kris” form, we receive your name, email address, message and, if you provide it, your phone number.

When you send it, the server also records your IP address and the type of browser used. These two pieces of data are used only to block automated submissions and spam.

If you do not use the form, the website collects no personal information about you.

Cookies, players and videos

This website sets no cookies and uses no audience measurement, advertising or tracking tools. Fonts are served by the website itself.

The Bandcamp player and the YouTube videos load only when you press play. Before that click, no information is sent to these services. After the click, Bandcamp or YouTube (Google) receives your IP address and may apply its own privacy rules; the videos use youtube-nocookie.com, the version of YouTube that limits cookies.

The Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook buttons are simple links: they take you to those platforms, which have their own policies.

Why this information is collected

It is used only to read your message and reply to it. It is never used for any other purpose without your consent, and is never sold or rented.

Who it is shared with

Your message is sent by email to Kris Kinokewin and, when needed, to his team. The following technical providers process it to run the website:

OasisWeb (Trois-Rivières, Québec): design and technical maintenance of the website.

Supabase: secure storage of the messages received, on servers in Canada.

Resend: delivery of notification and confirmation emails, from servers in the United States.

Vercel: website hosting. Your message is processed on its servers in Montréal. To display the pages, Vercel also receives your device's IP address, sometimes on servers outside Québec.

Google (Gmail): the inbox where the copy of your message is received.

Supabase, Resend, Vercel and Google are American companies, and your message may be processed outside Québec.

How long it is kept

Stored messages are deleted automatically 24 months after they are received, together with the IP address and browser recorded when they were sent. The IP address records used to limit the number of submissions are erased after 24 hours. An automatic purge runs every night.

The copy received in Kris Kinokewin's inbox is not affected by this purge. You can ask for it to be deleted at any time.

How it is protected

Exchanges use encrypted connections (HTTPS). Access to messages is limited to the people who reply to them.

Your rights

By writing to kris.kinokewin@gmail.com, you can ask to access the information concerning you, have it corrected, ask for it to be deleted, withdraw your consent or obtain it in a common digital format. We reply within 30 days at most.

If you believe your rights have not been respected, you can file a complaint with the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec (cai.gouv.qc.ca).
