This portion of the Terms and Conditions discloses the privacy practices of The Accountability Project (TAP) with respect to this Site.
What information of yours does TAP collect?
TAP collects two types of information, “anonymous information” and “personal information”. Anonymous information refers to information that is not about an identifiable individual. Each time a visitor comes to the Site, TAP may collect information that is necessary to improve the overall quality of the visitor’s online experience. TAP may collect computer and connection information such as the visitor’s IP address (e.g., whether the user is logged on from a .ca, .com, .gov or .edu domain), referral data, and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform). TAP collects this user information for purposes of providing the Site. In addition to this anonymous information, TAP may also collect information that is about an identifiable individual (“personal information”). Personal information includes information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name and e-mail address. Wherever and whenever TAP collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.
Personal information collection.
TAP collects personal information in the following ways from different parts of the Site:
i. Personal information is gathered when you voluntarily supply information to the Site. You can choose whether or not to provide TAP with your personal information. If you choose not to provide the requested information, TAP may not be able to offer you some of the Products and Services that depend on this type of information to function.
ii. If you contact TAP through e-mail, we may keep a record of that correspondence. We do not sell any email addresses of those who communicate with TAP via email or share those with other for non-TAP related communications. We use the information provided only so that we may communicate with you electronically.
iii. If you pursue certification through the CSAP program, we may be asked to confirm your registration in specific workshops to AccountAbility or the organization it contracts or licenses to run the certification program.
