Privacy Notice
The Government of Canada and the Department of National Defence are
committed to providing visitors with web sites that respect their privacy.
This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on the Department of
National Defence web site.
The Department of National Defence web
site 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 registering in a secure portion of the site.
All personal
information created, held or collected by the Department of National
Defence is protected under the federal Privacy Act. This means that at any
point of collection 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 Department of National Defence employs software
programs to monitor network traffic, and to identify unauthorized attempts
to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage. These programs
are also used to gather anonymous information such as statistics to
improve the functionality of our sites. These software programs receive
and record 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 programs are never used to gather specific personal
information such as your name, your phone number or your e-mail
address.
The Department of National Defence occasionally uses "cookies" as one
method of gathering the anonymous information used to improve the
functionality of our sites. A "cookie" is a small file that is placed on
your hard drive by a Web site. On those sites which do use cookies, the
Important Notices (located at the bottom of the page) indicate
specifically how they are used, and their use respects the provisions of
the Privacy
Act. As with other types of information-gathering, cookies are
never used to gather specific personal information such as your name, your
phone number or your e-mail address. We never attempt to link the
information gathered through the use of cookies to the identity of the
visitor.
This site (dis.forces.ca) uses cookies to store a temporary session
identifier in order to maintain your session in the White Pages
application. It does not gather any information using cookies.
Information on individual visitors, gathered under the conditions
described above, is used by the Department of National Defence 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.
Official Languages
The Department of National Defence is bound by the Official
Languages Act and relevant Treasury Board policies. However, users
should be aware that some information from external sources is available
only in the language in which it was provided.
