Privacy Policy
Compliance with Privacy Laws
CCRNR respects your privacy. We also strive to protect the confidentiality of any personal information you may give us. We'd like you to know (a) the circumstances under which we collect information, (b) the kind of information we collect, and (c) how we may use that information.
We'll let you know specifically before we collect any of your personal information (details that can identify you as an individual, such as your name or address). We will explain what information is being collected and how it will be used. You have the right to decline to have this information collected or transferred.
We will only collect personal information, which you choose to provide to us. We do not use techniques that collect personal information about you without your knowledge.
You may provide us with information on-line, in a telephone conversation, or through a completed printed form. The information you provide will be securely stored either on a computer or as part of a hard-copy filing system.
1. On the Internet, by phone, or mail
We may, from time to time, offer opportunities to receive information from CCRNR. You will initiate any request for information unless you are an employee or volunteer from a CCRNR member organization at which time that organization could share information with CCRNR for contact use.
The CCRNR database is not shared, given, sold or rented to any other party under any circumstances. It would reside on our computer, and may only be accessed by CCRNR representative who has (a) been authorized to do so and (b) has a password issued by our IT department.
None of the information we collect from you would be maintained on the Internet or on an Internet-accessible computer.
How We Use Non-Personal Information
CCRNR's operating system may automatically record some general information about your visit, such as:
The Internet domain for your Internet service provider, such as "company.com" or "service.ca" and the IP address of the computer accessing the website, such as "ppp-55" or "123.123.123.123";
The type of browser you are using;
The type of operating system you are using (such as Macintosh, or Windows);
The date and time you visit our site and the web pages that you visit on our site, along with the address of the previous website you were visiting, if you linked to us from another website.
We use this information for statistical analysis, to help us make our site more useful to visitors. We may disclose this non-personal information to third parties such as sponsors or clients and/or use it for auditing purposes. This tracking system does not record personal information about individuals or link this information to any personal data collected.
We may use "cookies" that identify you as a return visitor. A cookie is a piece of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then store the cookie on your hard drive. So, when you come back to visit us again, we can tailor information to suit your individual preferences. The goal is to save you time and provide you with a more meaningful visit and to measure website activity. Cookies do not contain any personally identifying information. Some browsers allow you to disable cookie collection if you wish, or inform you when a cookie is being stored on your hard drive.
Currency of Data Collected
CCRNR's Office may contact you requesting updates of data. This will normally be by regular mail, telephone or an e-mail. We do not use third parties to collect this data on our behalf, and you will never be directed to a third-party website for this purpose. If you receive any communication the authenticity of which is doubtful, please contact CCRNR immediately.
