Privacy
Policy
The Government of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Learning are committed
to protecting your privacy. Its entire operations, including this web
site, are subject to "The
Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act".
The points below summarize the privacy policy and practices on Saskatchewan
Learning Web sites.
- Saskatchewan Learning Web sites do not automatically gather any specific
personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or email
address. We would only obtain this type of information if you supply
it by sending us an email or registering in a secure portion of the
site.
- If you join a Saskatchewan Learning online discussion group or email
listing service, we may ask you to volunteer personal information such
as your name and email address for the purposes of effective administration
of the discussion group. In some cases, our groups are limited to member
only discussions and as such can not be accessed by the general public.
We will notify you as to whether you are joining a closed (limited)
or open (public) discussion. Saskatchewan Learning offers discussion
forums and email listing services as a courtesy to the education community
and general public and assumes no responsibility whatsoever for postings
or messages contributed by other public subscribers to services. Saskatchewan
Learning does however, reserve the right to block and/or remove any
material deemed offensive by the department or the other participants
in Saskatchewan Learning discussion forums or email listing services.
Required and optional information
- When you subscribe to a Saskatchewan Learning electronic mailing
list, the only required information is an email address
where we can send messages. With some lists, you'll also have the option
of further identifying yourself or your organization. This will help
us develop user profiles, but providing such information
is strictly optional.
- All personal information created, held or collected by this department
are subject to "The
Freedom of Information and Protection of 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.
- Saskatchewan Learning 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 (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 unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected. Saskatchewan
Learning reserves the right to identify individuals using any services
offered within the site in any manner that violates Saskatchewan, Canadian
or International law.
- Saskatchewan Learning does not normally use "cookies" to
track how our visitors use this site or to determine sites previously
visited. The system will notify you before any cookies are used so that
you may refuse them. (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 Saskatchewan Learning
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 government.
