The BC Forest Safety Council ("The Council" or "we") knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This statement describes our privacy policy. By visiting bcforestsafe.ca, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Statement.
What information do we gather and how is it used?
The Council collects information from our users at several different points
on this web site: Users to the public areas of the Council’s web site
browse anonymously. However, the Council web server does collect aggregate
data, such as number of access attempts by page. The Council may collect
information ("Personal Information") from you before allowing access
to certain resources and personalization features on the site, or to order
products and services. Generally, when Personal Information is collected,
it is used by the Council to improve web content; to respond to visitors'
interests, needs and preferences; and to develop new products and services.
The Council does not share Personal Information with any third parties except
that the Council may share such information with its subsidiaries and affiliated
organizations. Third party vendors providing services in connection with
this web site may have access to Personal Information. It is the Council’s
policy to require such vendors to hold Personal Information in strict confidence.
Cookies
Cookies are files that contain information created by a web server that can
be stored on your machine for use either during a particular session ("session" cookie)
or for future use ("persistent" cookie). The Council uses both
session and persistent cookies to facilitate, track and limit automated activity,
and to assist in the collection of site visitation statistics. Cookies are
not used to disseminate significant information about users over the Internet.
If you decline the attachment of any cookie, you may not have access to the
full benefits of the web site.
Log Files
Like most standard web site servers we use log files. This includes internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit
pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends,
administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather
broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not
linked to personally identifiable information.

This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that the Council
is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage
our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
Sharing
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: ALTHOUGH WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO PRESERVE USER PRIVACY, WE
MAY NEED TO DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION WHEN (I) REQUIRED BY LAW WHEREIN
WE HAVE A GOOD-FAITH BELIEF THAT SUCH ACTION IS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH
A CURRENT JUDICIAL PROCEEDING, A COURT ORDER OR LEGAL PROCESS SERVED ON OUR
WEB SITE; OR (II) NECESSARY TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE RIGHTS OR PROPERTY
OF MEDIALOGIC OR MEDIALOGIC AFFILIATES, INCLUDING THEIR WEB SITES. EXCEPT
AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT, IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES

Us" link on this web site in order to inform the Council of the changes.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this
Privacy Statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so
our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it,
and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
If, however, we are going to use users’ Personal Information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their Personal Information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their Personal Information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
