What is per­sonal information?

Per­sonal infor­ma­tion is recorded infor­ma­tion about an iden­ti­fi­able indi­vid­ual. Per­sonal infor­ma­tion includes such things as an individual’s name, address, birth date, e-mail address and phone num­ber. When The Coali­tion to Build a Bet­ter BC col­lects per­sonal infor­ma­tion it must identify:

• The pur­pose for col­lect­ing the per­sonal information,
• The legal author­ity for col­lect­ing it, and
• The title, busi­ness address and busi­ness tele­phone num­ber of an offi­cer who can answer your ques­tions about the col­lec­tion of that information.

What kind of infor­ma­tion is being collected?

If you visit this web­site to browse, read pages, or down­load infor­ma­tion; we will gather and store cer­tain infor­ma­tion about the visit. The fol­low­ing infor­ma­tion is auto­mat­i­cally col­lected and stored:

1. The Inter­net Pro­to­col address and domain name used. The Inter­net Pro­to­col address is a numer­i­cal iden­ti­fier assigned either to your Inter­net ser­vice provider or directly to your com­puter. This address can be trans­lated to deter­mine the domain name of your ser­vice provider (e.g. xcompany.com or yourschool.edu);
2. The type of browser and oper­at­ing system;
3. The date and time of the visit; and
4. The web pages or ser­vices accessed.

The Coali­tion to Build a Bet­ter BC does not use this data to deter­mine your iden­tity unless required to do so as part of an inter­nal inves­ti­ga­tion or other law enforce­ment purpose.
