Privacy Notice

The Government of Canada and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) are committed to providing visitors with web sites that respect their privacy. This page summarizes the TSB's privacy policy and practices.

The TSB does not automatically gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or e-mail address. We would only obtain this type of information if you supply it by sending us an e-mail or by registering with our electronic Subscription Services.

All personal information created, held or collected by the TSB is protected under the federal Privacy Act. This means that at any point of collection you will be asked for consent to collect your information, and you will be informed of the purpose for which it is being collected and how to exercise your right of access to that information.

The TSB employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. This software receives and records the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that has contacted our web site, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected.

The TSB does not normally use "cookies" to track how our visitors use this site or to determine sites previously visited. The system will notify you before any cookies are used so that you may refuse them. (A "cookie" is a file that may be placed on your hard drive without your knowledge by a web site to allow it to monitor your use of the site.)

Information on individual visitors is used by TSB employees who need to know the information in order to respond to your request or to ensure the security of this system. We only share the information you give us with another government department if your inquiry relates to that department. We do not use the information to create individual profiles, nor do we disclose this information to anyone outside the federal government.

Questions or comments regarding this policy, or the administration of the Privacy Act at the TSB may be directed to the TSB Privacy Co-ordinator (819) 994-8030. If you are not satisfied with our response to your privacy concern, you may wish to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner by calling
