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
