Government of Canada (GOC) Web sites.
-
Government of Canada (GOC) Web sites do 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 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 Government of Canada (GOC) 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 Government of Canada (GOC) does not normally use
"cookies" to track how our visitors use this site or to determine sites
previously visited. 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.)

Information on individual visitors is used by Government of Canada (GOC) 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.
