Privacy NoticeThe Government of Canada and Defence R&D Canada are committed
to providing visitors with web sites that respect their privacy. This page
summarizes the privacy policy and practices on Defence R&D Canada Web
site. The Defence R&D Canada web site does not automatically gather
any specific personal information from you, such as your name, phone number
or e-mail address. We would only obtain this type of information if you
supply it by sending us an e-mail or registering in a secure portion of
the site.
All personal information created, held or collected by Defence R&D Canada is protected under the federal Privacy Act. This
means that at any point of collection you will be informed of the purpose for which it is being collected and how to exercise
your right of access to that information.
Defence R&D Canada employs software programs to monitor network traffic, and to identify unauthorized attempts to upload
or change information or otherwise cause damage. These programs are also used to gather anonymous information such as statistics
to improve the functionality of our sites. These software programs receive and record the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the
computer that has contacted our Web site, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these
addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected. The programs
are never used to gather specific personal information such as your name, your phone number or your e-mail address.
Defence R&D Canada occasionally uses "cookies" as one method of gathering the anonymous information used to improve
the functionality of our sites. A "cookie" is a small file that is placed on your hard drive by a Web site. On those
sites which do use cookies, the Important Notices (located at the bottom of the page) indicate specifically how they are used,
and their use respects the provisions of the Privacy Act. As with other types of information-gathering, cookies are never used
to gather specific personal information such as your name, your phone number or your e-mail address. We never attempt to link
the information gathered through the use of cookies to the identity of the visitor.
Information on individual visitors, gathered under the conditions described above, is used by Defence R&D Canada employees
who need to know the information in order to respond to your request or to ensure the security of this system. We only share the
information you give us with another government department 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.
Official Languages
