Website Privacy Policy
NTC is committed to protecting the privacy of all members of our
community. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices for this NTC web
site. This site does not automatically gather any personal information from
you, such as your name, phone number, or e-mail address. This information is
only obtained if you provide it voluntarily, through contacting us via e-mail,
or through an online form. Any personal information you do provide is managed
according to the Alberta Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).
This means that the information we collect and retain is what is necessary for
the provision of services and to fulfill our reporting requirements. At the
point of collection, you will be informed that your personal information is
being collected. You have a right of access to the collected information.
Information Collected Automatically via
the Internet
This server logs http requests. These logs capture computer information,
navigation and clickstream data.
Some of the information collected does not identify who you are. Other
information, such as your domain name or IP address, may identify you depending
on the naming standards followed by your Internet service provider. You may
wish to ask them about their polices and practices.
While we make no attempt to link the information captured to the
identity of individuals, the information captured may identify the following:
1. The Internet domain
and IP address from which you access our web site;
2. The type of browser
and operating system used to access our site;
3. Screen resolution of
your monitor;
4. The date and time you
access our site;
5. The pages you visit;
and
6. If you linked to the
NTC web site from another web site, the address of that web site.
This information is used to help us make our site more useful to our
audiences by learning about the number of visitors to
our site, and by monitoring traffic patterns and the types of technology our
visitors use. We do not track or record information about specific individuals
and their visits. Visitor information is not disclosed to anyone except NTC’s
personnel who need the information for legitimate business purposes such as
responding to a request.
Javascript and Cookies
Javascript is a scripting
language that your browser receives from this server and interprets. Typically,
this is used to customize content or to validate input on forms. A cookie is a
small piece of text information that is sent to your browser when you access a
web site that your browser will return to the server. Typically these are used
to store connection information, or transitory data about your use of the site.
In order for this site to function properly, both Javascript
and Cookies must be enabled on your browser. The length of time that the
cookie will reside on your machine will depend upon the specific set-up of the
particular sites you visit. Cookies used by this server are designed to be
deleted by closing your browser or through an explicit "logout"
process. If you are concerned about the use of cookies, you can refer to the
help information in your browser software for information on how to disable
cookies. If you wish to delete cookies from your machine, consult your
browser's help files for instructions on how to do so.
Privacy and Links to Other Sites
NTC’s web sites may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible
for the content and the privacy practices of other web sites and encourage you
to examine each site's privacy policy and disclaimers and make your own
decisions regarding the accuracy, reliability, and correctness of material and
information found.
Information Collected in E-mails and
Web Forms
If you should choose to provide us with personal information — as in an
e-mail or by filling out a form and submitting it to us through our website —
we will use that information to respond to your message and to help us get the
information you have requested. NTC does not collect personal information for
commercial marketing or distribution to any private organizations. Messages
sent via the Internet can be intercepted. If you are concerned about sending
your personal information to us via the Internet, you can use another method
such as fax or regular mail.
Transactions Where Information Is
Stored in Our Records
Where personal information is provided that is stored in our records, it
is collected in compliance with Division 3 of the Alberta Personal Information
Protection Act (PIPA). NTC collects, creates and maintains information for
the purposes of admission, registration, and other activities directly related
to its education programs. Information collected is only kept for the length of
time necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.
