The Government of Canada and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat are committed to providing visitors with Web sites that respect their privacy. This Privacy Notice summarizes the privacy
policy and practices on the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat Web sites.
- Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat 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.
- All personal information created, held or collected by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat 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.
- The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat 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.
- A "cookie" is a computer (text) file that is sent to a visitor's Web browser, by a Web server, in order to remember certain pieces of information. "Per-session cookies" are
used on some portions of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat's Web site to store information within a session. During your visit to our site your browser exchanges information with our Web
server. Per-session cookies facilitate this exchange by reminding the server which computer is making the request. Please visit our "help" page for more information about persistent and per-session
cookies.
- The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat employs a fully automated Anti-Spam Filter to protect its employees and networks from spam. Incoming
email messages that are flagged by the software as spam are deleted automatically by the technology without notification. The program is set to
block email that is considered obvious spam because of its content (for example, pornographic, racist, get-rich-quick schemes, junk commercial
solicitations) as determined by general industry best practice.
- Information on individual visitors is used by Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat employees, to respond to your request or to ensure the security of this system. We will only share information
you give to 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.
