The Vancouver Port Authority ("VPA") is committed to providing visitors with a web site that respects their privacy. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on the VPA's web site.

• VPA's web site does not automatically gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or e-mail address. We would only obtain this type of information if you supply it by sending us an e-mail or registering in a secure portion of the site.



• All personal information held or collected by the VPA is protected under the federal Privacy Act. This means that at any point of collection you will be asked for consent to collect your information, and you will be informed of the purpose for which it is being collected and how to exercise your right of access to that information.



• VPA employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. This software receives and records the Internet Protocol 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 unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected.



• VPA does not normally use "cookies" to track how our visitors use this site or to determine sites previously visited. We will notify you before any cookies are used. (A "cookie" is a file that may be placed on your hard drive without your knowledge by a web site to allow it to monitor your use of the site).



• Information on individual visitors is used by VPA employees who need to know the information in order to respond to your request or to ensure the security of this system. We only share the information you give us with another government department if your inquiry relates to that department. We do not use the information to create individual profiles, nor do we disclose this information to anyone outside the federal government.

Questions or comments regarding this policy, or the administration of the Privacy Act in the VPA may be directed to Sarb Dhut, Access to Information and Privacy Coordinator by e-mail to sarb.dhut@vfpa.ca or by calling (604) 665-9054. If you are not satisfied with our response to your privacy concern, you may wish to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at www.privcom.gc.ca.
