The Nutrition Resource Centre Privacy Policy is based on a fundamental
respect for privacy as defined in The Personal
Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. Please note that the
Nutrition Resource Centre and its affiliated projects link to many external web
sites. NRC strongly encourages you to read their privacy policies and always
use caution when asked to divulge personal information.

The Nutrition Resource Centre web site and the affiliated projects' web
sites use cookies to track general user trends and patterns.

A cookie is a small piece of information that a web site stores on your
computer. It is retrieved automatically whenever you return and some of its
contents are stored in log files that are then used to generate periodic
statistical reports. These reports help us to evaluate and improve our web
sites by tracking global indicators such as the total number of visitors, total
pages viewed, most popular documents retrieved, etc.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your
browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when one is being sent. However,
some parts of the Nutrition Resource Centre web site, and affiliated projects'
web sites, may not work properly if you choose not to accept cookies. For
additional information on cookies, see the Help instructions on your browser.

>While visiting the Nutrition Resource Centre web site and its affiliated
projects' web sites, you may be invited to join listservs and enter information
into databases. The information gathered in these listservs and databases is
collected on a voluntary basis. Personally identifying information you choose
to post on the listservs or in the databases is stored online and may be
accessible to anyone on the Internet. Although the use of this information is
subject to strict guidelines, and is in some cases password-protected, we
cannot guarantee that all visitors will abide by the guidelines of use. If you
encounter a problem, please contact
us immediately.

NRC and its affiliated projects do not sell, rent, lease, or lend any
personally identifying information to outside organizations or groups. In the
exceptional case of a request by law enforcement authorities to view our web
site's log files, no attempt at identifying individual visitors to our site
will occur unless a judicial order is received as well.

We encourage people of all ages to participate in our listservs or register
for our databases. However, we request that individuals under the age of 18
obtain permission from a guardian or parent before they sign up for any of our
listservs or register in the NRC, or its affiliated projects, databases.

Throughout the site, visitors are given an opportunity to provide us with feedback
through our "Contact Us" page. When you provide us with feedback, we will not
share your name with others. We will try our best to ensure that your confidentiality is protected.

This privacy policy is subject to change at any time.
