Cookies
We do not automatically gather or collect personal information, such as your name, phone number, street or email address.
That information is only collected if you voluntarily agree to provide it, through email, a feedback form, survey or questionnaire, or by registering through a separate but linked online service. Personal information is collected to administer our programs and services, to keep you updated on those programs and services, and to help respond to requests for information. The Municipality will not use any personal information for any purpose that is inconsistent with the purpose for which the information was collected. When we collect your personal information, you are entitled to know and will be provided with information on the following:
- The reason the information is being collected and how it will be used
- The authority that allows the municipality to collect personal information (e.g. the Municipal Act)
- Who to contact if you have any questions regarding the collection and use of personal information
Even if you are only browsing our website, a small amount of anonymous data is collected through the use of “cookies”— small text files stored on the user’s computer. Cookies contain information such as the Internet domain and Internet Protocol (IP) address from which the site was accessed, the type of browser and operating system used, the date and time the site was visited, which pages were visited, etc. This anonymous information does not identify you personally and is collected for statistical purposes aimed at improving the municipal website.
