- Elections Canada's Web site does not automatically
gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name,

We do not use the information to create individually identifiable
profiles (unless clearly specified), nor do we disclose this information
to anyone outside of Elections Canada.

of access to that information.

network traffic to gather statistical information on Web site usage.
This software receives and records the Internet Protocol (IP) address
of the computer that has contacted our Web site, the date and time
of the visit and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these
addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site.
- Our Web site has links to other useful sites on the
Internet, including sites of other government agencies. If you follow
any link to a location outside this Web site, you should refer to
that site's own privacy policy.
