Alberta Capital Finance Authority (ACFA) respects the privacy of the visitors to our web site. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on our site.

Personal Information Management

This site does not automatically gather any personal information from you. Information such as name, phone number and e-mail address are only obtained if you provide it to us voluntarily by sending us e-mail or submitting an electronic form.

Any personal information that we ask you to provide us is collected in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Act. We collect only what is necessary for the operation of the web site and to respond to your needs. Our use and disclosure of your personal information is limited by the privacy protection provisions of the FOIP Act.

Information Collected via the Internet

When you visit the Alberta Capital Finance Authority web site, the web server automatically collects a limited amount of information essential for the operation and security of the site and other sites that reside on the server. Some of this information (e.g. browser type) does not identify who you are. Other information, such as your Internet domain name or IP address, may identify you depending, in large part, on the naming standards followed by your Internet service provider. You may wish to ask them about their policies and practices in this regard.

Cookies

An interactive program found on this web site (the Debt Limit Worksheet) uses "cookies". Cookies are small amounts of information that are distributed to your web browser, and retained on your own computer. In this instance, they serve to assist you when you return to the web site or wish to change a single variable in the debt limit calculation without re-entering all of the requested data elements. Your web browser will automatically delete the cookie created by the Debt Limit Worksheet from your machine after a period of one year.

If you disable your web browser's accept or allow "cookies" option you will not be able to use the Debt Limit Worksheet.

Security

For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, this site uses software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no other attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits.
