CBC PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy is applicable to all CBC websites.
The CBC respects the privacy of its Internet users and
will protect that privacy as vigorously as possible.
CBC does not collect information that personally identifies
individuals except when individuals provide such specific
information on a voluntary basis. There may be occasions
where specific personal information is requested before
an individual can enter certain sections of a CBC site.
For example, registration is needed to become a guide
on 120seconds.com, or to submit music to New Music Canada.
This kind of registration helps us to ensure that content
standards on these sections of the site are rigorously
upheld.
In all such cases, CBC will collect only information
that is voluntarily provided by the user and undertakes
that such information will be kept strictly confidential.
Individual information provided to the CBC to gain access
to any feature of a CBC site will not be sold or made
available to a third party.
CBC does reserve the right, however, to perform statistical
analyses of user behaviour and characteristics, in order
to measure interest in and use of the various sections
of its sites so as to improve design and navigation and
to gather marketing information. Only aggregated data
from these analyses, not individual data, will be used
for this purpose.
As well, users should be aware that certain non-personal
information and data may be automatically collected
by the CBC through the operation of what are called
"cookies". "Cookies" are small text
files that identify an individual computer's browser
entering a web site. They allow the site to track that
browser's movement through the site over several sessions.
Through cookies, a web site can recognize repeat users,
facilitate the user's access to and use of the site
and allow a site to track usage behaviour that will
allow content improvements. The CBC uses cookies only
for the above-mentioned purposes and will not use them
to identify users or to track non-CBC usage.
If you do not want a cookie placed on your computer by
the CBC, you may disable cookies altogether by modifying
the Preferences section of your Netscape or Internet
Explorer browser (under Edit/Preferences/Advanced).
Note that it is possible that some aspects of CBC sites
may be unavailable to you if you choose this option.
If you have no problem accepting cookies, but wish to be
informed of their appearance, you may turn on a warning
prompt by modifying the cookie warning section in
Edit/Preferences/Advanced.
