Privacy Statement for Privy Council Office Web
Sites
The Government of Canada and the Privy Council Office are committed to
providing visitors with web sites that respect their privacy. This page
summarizes the privacy policy and practices on Privy Council Office web sites.
Be aware that Privy Council Office web sites provide links to external sites
that are not covered by this privacy policy.
- Privy Council Office web sites do not automatically gather personal
information from you, such as your name, phone number or e-mail address. We
only obtain this type of information if you supply it by sending us an
e-mail or by completing an electronic form on the site. Please be reminded
that unless specifically noted otherwise, electronic systems and e-mail are
not secure information transmission methods, so it is not recommended to
transmit sensitive personal information electronically.
- All personal information collected or held by this institution is
protected under the federal Privacy
Act. This Act governs the collection, retention, use and
disposal of personal information and allows you a right of access to your
personal information held by the institution.
- The information you provide us is used by Privy Council Office employees
to respond to your request. We will share your information 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
this information to anyone outside the federal government.
- The Privy Council Office does not use "cookies" to track how our
visitors use this site or to determine sites previously visited. (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.)
- The Privy Council Office 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.
Questions or comments regarding this policy, or the administration of the Privacy
Act in the Privy Council Office may be directed to the Privacy
Coordinator by calling (613) 957-5210 or writing to:
