Privacy Statement
Privacy is a guiding principle of the Government On-Line initiative.
The Office of the Auditor General of Canada and the Commissioner of the Environment
and Sustainable Development (the "Office") is committed to respecting the personal
privacy of individuals who visit our web sites. This page summarizes the privacy
policy and practices of our site.
- The Office of the Auditor General of Canada and the Commissioner of the
Environment and Sustainable Development does not automatically gather any
personal information from you, such as your name, phone number, e-mail or
street address during your visit to its web sites. This information is only
obtained if you supply it voluntarily, usually through contacting us via
e-mail, or registering in a secure portion of the site.
- All personal information you do provide is protected under the federal Privacy
Act. This means that, at the point of collection, you will be
informed that your personal information is being collected, the purpose
for which it is being collected and that you have a right of access to
the information.
- Any job application which you submit on line will go to E-cruiter, a corporation
which is not part of the federal government. E-cruiter is bound by a contract
with the Office of the Auditor General to treat any personal information
they receive from job applicants as though it were covered by the provisions
of the Privacy Act. Any questions, concerns or complaints you may
have about how E-cruiter is handling personal information submitted by job
applicants should be directed to the Privacy Co-ordinator as listed below.
- The Office of the Auditor General of Canada and the Commissioner of the
Environment and Sustainable Development uses software that receives and records
the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of computers that have connected with
our web sites. The Office makes no attempt to link these addresses with the
identity of individuals visiting our site.
- The Office of the Auditor General of Canada and the Commissioner of the
Environment and Sustainable Development does not use "cookies" to track how
visitors use our web site. Whenever we enable "cookies" to facilitate your
transactions, we will first inform you. (Note: Cookies are files that a web
site can place on your hard drive, without your knowledge, to monitor your
use of that site.)
- Visitor information is not disclosed to anyone except Office of the Auditor
General of Canada and the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable
Development personnel who need the information, e.g., to respond to a request.
Questions or comments regarding this policy, or the administration of the Privacy
Act in the Office of the Auditor General of Canada may be directed to
the Privacy Co-ordinator by e-mail or by calling (613) 995-3708 or
writing to Elizabeth Stewart, Privacy Co-ordinator, Office of the Auditor
General of Canada at 240 Sparks Street, Ottawa, Ontario
