PRIVACY STATEMENT

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

We are committed to providing our visitors with a web site that respects their privacy. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on the Work Safe Alberta Information Sharing Network web site.

We do not automatically gather any personal information from you, such as your name, phone number, e-mail or address. This information is obtained only if you supply it voluntarily, usually through contacting us via e-mail, or completing and submitting an on-line form.

Information Collected in E-mails and Web Forms

If you choose to provide us with personal information by e-mail, or by filling out an on-line form and submitting it to us through our web site, we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested. This information is collected in compliance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

We treat e-mails the same way we treat letters sent to Alberta Employment and Industry. We collect personal information in order to respond to you. We only share the information you give us with another government department if your inquiry relates to that department.

We do not create individual profiles with the information you provide or give it to any private organization. Alberta Employment and Industry does not collect information for commercial marketing.

Security of Your Information

If you are concerned about sending your personal information to us via the Internet, you can use another method such as phone, fax or regular mail.

We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors - to learn about the number of visitors to our site and types of technology our visitors use. This information is collected in compliance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits.

Your Internet domain name or IP address may identify you, depending in large part on the naming standards followed by your Internet service provider. You may wish to ask them about their policies and practices in this regard.
