Privacy Statement

Introduction

The Public Affairs Bureau and the Premier's Office, which publish and maintain the Premier's Page web site, are committed to ensuring your privacy while you visit the site.

Links to Other Sites

The Premier's Page web site provides you with information about the Premier and the Alberta Government. This privacy statement covers the Premier's web site (available at http://www.gov.ab.ca/premier) not the web sites of individual departments. Each ministry's or organisation's web site may have a different privacy statement depending on the nature of its site.

You should review the privacy statement each time you submit personal information on a web site.

Collection of Information

When you visit this web site, our web server automatically collects a limited amount of standard information essential to the operation and evaluation of the Premier's web site. This information includes:
  • the page from which you arrived,
  • the date and time of your page request,
  • the IP address your computer is using to receive information,
  • the type and version of your browser, and
  • the name and size of the file you request.
This information helps us assess our information services and is used only for this purpose. It is collected in compliance with section 33 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Act. This information is not used to identify individuals who come to the web site. None of this information is disclosed to other public bodies or individuals.

The only information collected that is used to identify you is information you give voluntarily. When you submit a question or comment, you may be asked for your name, e-mail address, or other information. This information is only used to process and respond to your question or comment, and is collected in compliance with section 33 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Act. This information is not disclosed except to authorized personnel who need it to answer your question.

The personal information you submit is secure once it reaches the government server. In transit between your computer and the server, however, it may not be secure. If you would prefer to raise a comment or question in person, please call Alberta Connects at 310-4455 toll free in the province of Alberta.
