Your privacy

PSM is committed to providing our staff, clients and visitors with webpages that respect their privacy. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices for all official PSM websites.

PSM websites do not automatically gather any personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or email address. This information is only obtained if you provide it voluntarily, through contacting us via email, or through an online form.

Any personal information you do provide is managed according to the British Columbia Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA).

Some PSM webpages may collect more information than is described here and will have additional privacy policies. Where applicable, please be sure to read these privacy policies.

Information collected automatically

EITC logs http requests to our server. These logs capture computer information and navigation data.

Some of the information collected does not identify who you are. Other information, such as your domain name or IP address, may identify you depending on the naming standards followed by your internet service provider. If this concerns you, you may wish to ask them about their policies and practices.

While we make no attempt to link the information captured to the identity of individuals, our logs do identify the following:

  • The internet domain and IP address from which you access our website;
  • The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
  • The date and time you access our site;
  • The pages you visit; and
  • If you linked to the PSM website from another website, the address of that website.

Visitor information is not disclosed to anyone except PSM personnel who need the information for legitimate business purposes such as responding to a request.

Security

For site security purposes, PSM employs software programs to monitor network traffic that identifies 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.

In accordance with the British Columbia Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, PSM only collects personal information directly related to and necessary for an operating service or client activity.
