Like most web servers on the Internet, The Township’s web servers maintain access logs that record web browser activity. These logs associate an Internet protocol (IP) address with each request for content from the servers. Often this IP address is the address assigned to a visitor’s personal computer (although this IP address may temporarily or permanently be assigned to an individual computer by an Internet server’s provider or by a business’ own network administrators). Alternatively, this IP address may represent the network gateway of Internet servers provider or business network, rather than an individual computer.

Server logs, including those IP addresses, are used by The Township to analyse web traffic. Data from these logs help us understand what information and services are of most interest to visitors and help us visualize, in aggregate, the geographic origination of visitors. Generally, the nature of the Internet addressing allows The Township to associate any IP address with a particular Internet service provider network. The Township makes no attempt to associate these IP addresses with personal information of an individual site visitor. Personal information is gathered only when the visitor knowingly provides such specific information on a voluntary basis. Personal information collected on this website will not be disclosed to outside parties unless visitors are advised otherwise at the point and time of collection or The Township is required to under legislation or by the Government of Canada or the Province of Ontario.

The Township is committed to the security of personal information it may collect online or offline. The Township has taken reasonable precautions to protect this personal information from loss, misuse or alteration. Any third parties that may have rules in managing such information on behalf of The Township are also committed to the same principles.

The Township website has linked to websites run by third parties that may collect personally identifiable information about visitors. This privacy policy does not cover third party data collection practices in relation to those websites or otherwise. The Township does not assume any responsibility for the actions of those or any other third parties.

The Township may modify this policy from time to time. If that happens, notification of such changes will be posted along with a latest version of this privacy statement.
