Privacy Notice

The Indian Claims Commission is committed to respecting the personal privacy of individuals who visit our Web site. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices of our Web site.

The Indian Claims Commission 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 site. This information is only obtained if you supply it voluntarily, usually through contacting us via e-mail, or registering in a secure portion of the site.

All personal information you do provide is protected under the federal Privacy Act. This means that, at the point of collection, you will be informed that your personal information is being collected, the purpose for which it is being collected and that you have a right of access to the information.
 
The Indian Claims Commission uses software that receives and records the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of computers that have connected with their Web site. In such instances, the Indian Claims Commission makes no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site, unless the intent to damage the site has been detected.

The Indian Claims Commission does not regularly use "cookies" to track how visitors use the Web site. Whenever we enable "cookies" to facilitate your transactions, we will first inform you. (Note: Cookies are files that a Web site can place on your hard drive, without your knowledge, to monitor your use of that site.)

Visitor information is not disclosed to anyone except Indian Claims Commission personnel who need the information, e.g., 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 this information to anyone outside the federal government.

Should you have any questions or comments regarding this policy, or the administration of the Privacy Act in the Indian Claims Commission please e-mail us at info@indianclaims.ca
