Government of Canada Privacy Statement
The Government of Canada (GoC) and Natural Resources Canada are
committed to respecting the personal privacy of individuals who
visit our web sites. This page summarizes the privacy policy and
practices of Natural Resources Canada web sites.
- Natural Resources Canada does not automatically gather any personal
information from you, such as your name, phone number, e-mail
or street address during your visit to its web sites. This information
is obtained only if you supply it voluntarily, usually through
contacting us via e-mail or registering in a secure portion of
the site.
- Natural Resources Canada 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.
- Any personal information that you do provide is protected under
the federal Privacy
Act. At the time of collection, you will be notified
that your personal information is being collected, why it is being
collected and that you have a right of access to the information.
- Visitor information is not disclosed to anyone except Natural
Resources Canada personnel who need the information to respond
to a request. The information you give us will be shared with
another government department ONLY if your inquiry relates to
that department. We do not use the information to create individual
profiles, nor do we disclose the information to anyone outside
those who need to provide you with a response in the federal government.
- Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) occasionally uses "cookies"
to track how visitors use its Web sites. Whenever we enable "cookies"
to facilitate your transactions, we will first inform you. (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.)
- NRCan Web sites have links to other useful sites on the Internet,
including sites of other government agencies. If you follow any
link to a location outside NRCan Web sites, you should refer to
that site's own privacy policy.
Questions or comments regarding this policy, or the administration
of the Privacy Act in Natural Resources Canada may be directed
to the Access to Information and Privacy Co-ordinator by e-mail
to Jean.Boulais@nrcan-rncan.gc.ca
or by calling (613) 995-1305. If you are not satisfied that we have
adequately respected your privacy, you may wish to contact the Office
of the Privacy Commissioner by calling 1-800-267-0441 or via the
Internet at info@privcom.gc.ca.
