This Privacy Notice summarizes the privacy policy and practices on the BCDRC Web site.<\/p>\n<h2>Personal information collected from users<\/h2>\n<p>Specific personal information ,such as your name, phone number or email address, is not automatically gathered. We would only obtain this type of information if you supply it to us by email.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: Unless specifically noted otherwise, neither electronic systems nor e-mail are secure information transmission methods. Therefore, it is not recommended that you send sensitive personal information electronically.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"p2\">Standard Internet information automatically collected from all users<\/h3>\n<p>Software programs are used to monitor network traffic and to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. When you visit the Web site, these software programs automatically receive and temporarily store information supplied by your browser (for example, Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox) in our Web server logs. Some of the information automatically collected by our server when you browse our Web site includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the network location and the Internet Protocol (<abbr>IP<\/abbr>) address of the computer you used to contact our Web site;<\/li>\n<li>the name of the domain you used to access the Internet (.com, .org, .net, .ca, etc.);<\/li>\n<li>the type of browser you used;<\/li>\n<li>the type of operating system you used (Windows, Mac OS, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>the date and time you accessed the site;<\/li>\n<li>the pages you have accessed and the documents you have downloaded; and<\/li>\n<li>the Internet address of the Web site from which you linked directly to our site, if applicable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In most circumstances, this is anonymous statistical data and we make no attempt to link this data, nor the\u00a0<abbr title=\"Internet Protocol\">IP<\/abbr>\u00a0addresses of the computers that have contacted our Web site, with the identity of individuals visiting our site unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected.

A cookie is a file that may be placed on your hard drive without your knowledge by a Web site to monitor your use of the site. The cookies we use do not allow us to identify individuals. They are compiled into statistical information on traffic patterns and are used to assess and improve the efficiency of the site.<\/p>\n<p>We use two types of cookies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Session cookies \u2013 These are used as an integral part of the identification process for some of our online applications. This is for security purposes to determine that you are who you say you are and to provide you with your confidential account information during an online session. No personal information is kept in session cookies and they are stored only in your browser\u00b4s temporary (cache) memory. When you log out of your session, the cookie is no longer valid and is discarded when you close your browser.<\/li>\n<li>Persistent cookies \u2013 These are more permanent and can be re-read when you return to the site that placed them on your computer. The information in them is written onto your hard drive and remains there until the expiry date of the cookie. They are used to identify and provide personalized features (for example, to help us remember which official language you prefer) and for tracking traffic patterns to and from our site. For more information on the tracking we use, refer to the Google Analytics section below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"p4\">Google Analytics<\/h3>\n<p>Google Analytics, a Web analytics service provided by Google Inc., helps to measure traffic patterns to, from, and within our public Web sites.

Persistent cookies are stored on your computer and expire two years after your last visit to our Web sites. The information generated by the cookies about your use of the Web site (including your\u00a0<abbr title=\"Internet Protocol\">IP<\/abbr>\u00a0address) is transmitted to Google. No personal, identifying information is recorded or provided to Google.
