BC FORUM may modify this notice from time to time so we encourage you to check this page when revisiting this website.

The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website. The type and amount of information received depends on how you use the site

Usage & Information Collection

When you visit the BC FORUM website, we automatically obtain information from your computer about the name of your Internet service provider, the browser and type of computer you are using, the website that referred you to us, the pages you request and the date and time of those requests.

We use this information on an aggregate basis to generate statistics and measure site activity to improve the usefulness of the site to our visitors. For example, we use this information to track which pages are most popular among visitors as a whole. We do not track the pages you or any individual visitor may look at during a visit to our site and we do not collect any other information without your knowledge and permission.

We DO NOT collect or store personally identifiable information, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address or phone number, unless you provide that information.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

The BC FORUM website includes e-mail contact information so you may correspond with us via e-mail. Any information we collect, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, type of request you are making, and any additional information you provide, is collected and stored by BC FORUM. The information is used to fulfill your request and track aggregate information about usage of these features.

The BC FORUM website will not post your personal contact information, including e-mail address, street address and phone numbers.

Email

If you send us an e-mail, you should know that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. So, if your communication includes sensitive information like your bank account, charge card, or social insurance number, and you prefer not to use e-mail, contact us by mail or by telephone rather than by e-mail.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. The BC FORUM website uses cookies for measuring aggregate web statistics, including number of monthly visitors, number of repeat visitors, most popular webpages and other information.
