We are committed to providing our visitors with a website that respects their privacy. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on the Learning Resources Centre (LRC) website.

Automatic Collection Of Information

When you visit the LRC website, the web server automatically collects a limited amount of information essential for the operation and security of our website. Some of this information (e.g. browser type) does not identify who you are, while other information, such as your Internet domain name or IP address, may identify you. The extent of personal identification depends, in large part, on the naming standards followed by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You may wish to confirm with them their guidelines and practices in this regard.

The LRC website uses cookies and any personal information that the LRC may collect via our website is collected in compliance with Section 33(c) of the FOIP Act . The information collected is limited to what is necessary for systems administration, and includes such things as the client's domain name, the date and time of the request, the type of request, the file requested, and the number of bytes transmitted to the client. We use this information only for assessing our information services and keep it only for the length of time necessary to fulfill that purpose. We do not disclose your information to other public bodies or individuals.

Personal Information

We do not automatically gather any personal information from you, such as your name, phone number, e-mail or address. This information is only obtained if you supply it voluntarily, usually through contacting us via e-mail, or registering in a secure portion of the site.

If you choose to provide us with personal information - as in an e-mail to someone else, or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it to us through our website - we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested.

Any personal information that we ask you to provide via our website is collected in compliance with section 33 of the Alberta Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Act . This means that, at the point of collection, you will be informed that your personal information is being collected, the purpose for which it is being collected and that you have a right of access to the information. We collect only what is necessary for the operation of the website and the provision of requested materials to you. The information is used only for the purpose it was collected or for a consistent purpose. Further, we keep the information only for the length of time necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.

Moreover, we do not create individual profiles with the information you provide or to give it to any private organizations. The LRC does not collect information for commercial marketing.
