The choice of how much of your personally identifiable information is disclosed to CIPFO is left completely up to you.
The only way we know something about you is when you use a personalized service, such as the “Members Only” area, the email discussion list, or you voluntarily disclose your information such as a credit card number, address, phone number, fax number, email address, demographic, and other personal and financial information when you transact business at our Site, communicate on the Site by sending us an email, complete an CIPFO survey or fill in a form.
In some cases, such as on our list services, discussion boards, or other public forums, any personal information you provide may become publicly available to our members and possibly the larger general public. Users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose such personal information (e.g. user name and email address as used in a signature line), that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or parties.
Please note that if you are an active member of CIPFO, you may have been assigned a membership id and password to be used for accessing the “Members Only” area of our Site. This information is maintained by CIPFO and is used solely to allow you to access the “Members Only” area.
Collection of IP addresses: When visiting any Internet site your unique address, called an “IP address”, is recorded. The amount of information about users made available from their IP addresses varies greatly, for instance depending on how they are connected to the Internet. CIPFO does not release any information about the collection of this address to any third parties. CIPFO archives the logging of IP addresses for security reasons.
Survey Information: Occasionally, CIPFO conducts surveys of its membership to assist the Association in it’s strategic planning and development of its benefits and services. If you complete an CIPFO survey, the information you provide may be used by CIPFO to market or communicate with you on specific association related activities. Survey information will only be shared with third parties,
Anonymous Identifiable Information
CIPFO collects and archives basic logging for site statistics. These log files show the daily number of visitors to our Site and its subdirectories, the daily requests we receive for particular files, what server locations those requests come from, including from which countries, as well as the domain name of the server or browser accessing the CIPFO Site. These aggregated statistics are primarily used internally to provide better service to the public, but may also be provided to others. |
