Privacy Notice

The Government of Canada and the Veterans Review and Appeal Board are committed to providing visitors with web sites that respect their privacy.  This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on the Veterans Review and Appeal Board web site.

• The Veterans Review and Appeal Board web site does not automatically gather 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.

• All personal information created, held or collected by this department 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 Veterans Review and Appeal Board 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 Veterans Review and Appeal Board does not normally use "cookies" to track how our visitors use this site or to determine sites previously visited.  If cookies are in use and you have your cookies notification option activated on your browser 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.)

• Visitor information is not disclosed to anyone except Government of Canada personnel who need the information to carry out responsibilities of their job. Any further disclosure of the personal information you give us will be in accordance with the federal Privacy Act.

•  The Veterans Review and Appeal Board web site may contain links to other sites. The Veterans Review and Appeal Board is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites.


Questions or comments regarding this policy, or the administration of the Privacy Act in the Veterans Review and Appeal Board may be directed to the Access to Information and Privacy Coordinator's Office by e-mail to atip-aiprp@vac-acc.gc.ca or by calling 877-566-8609.
