Alberta Energy does not automatically gather any personal information from you, such as your name, phone number, e-mail or address. This information is only obtained if you supply it voluntarily, usually through contact via e-mail, or registering in a secure portion of the site. Any personal information that the Government of Alberta may collect through this Website is collected in compliance with section 33(c) of Alberta’s Freedom of Information & Protection of Privacy Act, which states:

“No personal information may be collected by or for a public body unless that information relates directly to and is necessary for an operating program or activity of the public body.”

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. Personal information will be used only for the purpose for which it was collected. Personal information will not be released to a third party unless such a release is consistent with the provisions of the Act or provisions as outlined in other relevant Acts.

Cookies are small text files that Web pages place in your computer to assist you when you return to the page. This Website does not use cookies.

For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, this government computer system employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no attempts are made to identify individual users or other usage habits.

When you visit the Alberta Energy Website, the web server automatically collects a limited amount of information essential for the operation and security of our Web site and the other sites that reside on the server. Some of this information (i.e., browser type) does not identify who you are, whereas other information, such as your Internet domain name or IP address, may identify you. The extent of personal identification depends, in large part, on the naming standards followed by your internet service provider. You may wish to check with them to inquire about their policies and practices in this regard.

If you choose to provide us with personal information - as in an e-mail - we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested.

We treat e-mails the same way we treat letters sent to Alberta Energy. We do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to you. We only share the information you give us with another government department if your inquiry relates to that department.

We do not create individual profiles with the information you provide or give it to any private organizations. Alberta Energy does not collect information for commercial marketing.

Messages sent via the Internet can be intercepted. If you are concerned about sending your personal information to us via the Internet, you can use another method such as fax, telephone or regular mail.

This Web site contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the content and the privacy practices of other Web sites and encourage you to examine each site’s privacy policy and disclaimers and make your own decisions regarding the accuracy, reliability and correctness of material and information found.
