Collection of Information
The Council only collects the personal information that is necessary to provide the information or services requested by an individual. "Personal information" refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual who is the subject of the information. This is the same information that an individual might provide when visiting a Council office and includes such items as an individual’s name, address, or phone number.

The information collected is not associated with any specific individual and no attempt is made to profile individuals who browse the web site. The information may include the domain you use to access the Internet, date and time of your visit, and the address of the web site you came from when you came to visit. You may be asked to participate in surveys at this site. Participation is optional, and the choice to participate or not to participate will have no effect on your ability to use other features of the site.
