CMC Website Privacy Policy
What is Personal Information?
The term “Personal Information” within this Privacy Policy means information about an identifiable individual, but does not include business contact information or aggregated and anonymized information that cannot identify a specific individual.
How We Collect Information About You
We use different methods to collect your information, including through:
- Direct interactions with you when you provide it to us, for example, by filling in application forms and other forms available on the Site, by signing up to receive newsletters, by registering for a workshop or forum, or by corresponding with us by phone, email, or otherwise.
- Automated technologies or interactions, as you navigate through our Website. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies.
- Third parties or publicly available sources, for example, our educational or training delivery partners.
Types of Information Collected
We collect information that is relevant for the purpose of providing our services, making the Site available, meeting CMC’s legal obligations, advertising and marketing our services, and researching and developing new products and techniques to improve our services, business, and websites. Examples of Personal Information that we collect and use are:
- Information that you provide by completing forms on our Site. This includes your name, email address and any information that you provide when completing the “Contact Us” form.
- Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), if you contact CMC.
- Information collected in connection with recruitment activities and training programs. When you apply for a training or educational opportunity with CMC, we collect Personal Information to process and respond to that application or inquiry, which may include information contained in an application form or other related materials such as contact details, demographic information and approximate location information. With respect to individuals who go on to participate in any such training or educational program, we will typically retain the information provided by those individuals in the application process along with additional information collected with consent in order to manage participation in the program and to comply with obligations owed to the Government of Canada with respect to any funding that CMC receives.
Information We Collect Through Cookies and Other Automatic Data Collection Technologies
The CMC web server may collect and retain certain information related to a computer’s visit to the Site such as the IP address and domain used to access the Site, the type and version of the browser used to access the Site, the date and time of the visit, the page that the Site was entered and exited by; and, the address of any referrer website if the visiting computer was referred to the Site by a search engine or other website.
The Site uses Google Analytics™ to record the IP addresses of computers that connect to the Site. Google Analytics™ uses these addresses to generate geographically related statistics which assist CMC with the administration of the Site. CMC does not attempt to link the IP addresses of the computers that have visited the Site with the identities of individuals. More information regarding Google Analytics™ can be found at http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html.
The Site also uses “cookies” which are small data files transferred to a user’s hard drive by the web browser when a user visits the Site. A transferred cookie can only be read by the Site when a user returns to the Site. Cookies are used to identify users and track their preferences so that a user’s experience with the Site may be customized accordingly. If a user does not want to have a cookie placed upon their hard drive by the Site most web browsers allow users to change this preference to disallow cookies; however, note that this could change the functionality of the Site.
