Privacy Notice
The Government of Canada and the National Research Council are committed
to providing visitors with web sites that respect their privacy. This
page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on National Research
Council Web sites.
- The National Research Council Web sites do not automatically gather
any specific personal information from you, such as your name, telephone
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 agency
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 National Research Council 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 National Research Council does not normally use "cookies"
to track how our visitors use this site or to determine sites previously
visited. Whenever we would enable "cookies" to facilitate
a transaction, we would first inform you. If a NRC site is using cookies
that collect personal information, a notice will appear on the site
advising of such use and you will be provided with an opportunity to
refuse them. Such refusal will not affect the site performance or restrict
your ability to access information from this site. (A cookie is a very
small text file placed on the hard drive of your computer by a web page
server. It is a unique identifying code for your computer and can only
be read by the server that gave it to you.)
- Information on individual visitors is used by the National Research
Council 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.
