The Atlantic BioEnergy Task Force takes the privacy of its Internet users seriously. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our users while providing a personalized and valuable service.

Information collected: non-personal
The moment you visit our Website, some non-personal information is collected by Task Force

We collect information automatically about your visit to our website. The information collected includes basic demographic data and browsing patterns. It is used only in aggregate form. We use aggregate information (so that no individual user is identified):

  • to build up audience profiles;
  • to aid strategic development, and
  • to analyze use of the website.

We also collect personal information through enquiry forms and every time you e-mail us your details.

Information collected: personal
All personal information acquired by the Task Force and its web master, in any format, including electronic, is governed and maintained according to policies and procedures in accordance with privacy legislation in Canada and the US . We only collect personal information through application forms, enquiry forms and e-mails . This personal information must be divulged by you -- it is not 'gleaned' from your computer.

Use and Disclosure of personal information
The Atlantica BioEnergy Task Force processes personal information collected via its public website for the purposes of:

  • providing a personalized service;
  • receiving enquiries and requests for information;
  • providing you with information about the resources and services available;

E-mail Query Forms
Many web pages include links to e-mail query forms, where you may ask specific questions relating to any portion of the Web site. The information submitted in these forms is sent by unencrypted e-mail from our web server, via the Internet, to the appropriate e-mail mailbox of our partners.

Public Comment Forms
Public Comment Forms often are used to complement a public consultation process to receive input, ideas, comments and suggestions on specific government initiatives, programs and/or legislative or regulatory matters. The information submitted in these forms is transmitted in one of two ways (through your selection): 1) unencrypted e-mail from our web server, via the Internet, to the appropriate e-mail mailbox within the government responsibility area, and/or 2) by using a "post to website" public comment form, where the data is transmitted unencrypted and then authorized for posting to the public website.
