Privacy Notice
The Government of Canada and Service Canada
are committed to providing visitors with web sites that respect their privacy.
This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on Service Canada Web sites.
- Service Canada 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 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 or advised of the authority for
such 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.
- Service 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.
- Service Canada does not normally use "cookies"
to track how our visitors use this site or to determine sites previously
visited. If cookies are in use and you have your cookies notification
option activated on your browser 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.)
- Visitor information is not disclosed to anyone except Government of Canada personnel who need the information to carry out responsibilities of their job. Any further disclosure of the personal information you give us will be in accordance with the federal Privacy
Act.
