Web
Site Privacy Policy – www.webbedfeet.ca
This page summarizes our privacy policy and information
practices for this Web site. It is intended to provide you
with a complete and accurate basis for making informed decisions
when choosing to communicate with our Office via this site.
During a visit to our Web
site, your privacy is respected. We do not collect personal
information about you unless you choose to send us an e-mail,
in which you voluntarily provide your name and contact information.
The nature of the Internet is such that it passively and
automatically collects certain information about a user's
traffic patterns, linked to their Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses. These are unique Internet "addresses"
assigned to all Web users by their Internet Service Providers
(ISP). IP addresses are automatically logged by Web servers.
While the IP address does not identify an individual on
its face, it may with the cooperation of the ISP be used
to locate and identify an individual using the Web. The
IP address is considered personal information because it
is an identifying number, and IP addresses are therefore
protected by most privacy legislation. The privacy issues
surrounding IP addresses are explained further below.
Visitors' personal information
received via e-mail is provided only to our Office personnel,
who require the information to respond to inquiries. We
do not use this information for any other purpose. We protect
all personal information in our custody with strong security
safeguards, including strict access controls.
As we cannot guarantee the security of electronic systems
or e-mail, we do not recommend sending sensitive personal
information or complaints electronically at this time.
For all such matters, please
contact us by postal mail at:
Doug Massey’s Webbed
Feet Solutions, 6 ch Garden, Gatineau, Québec, J9H
2B3, or by calling 613-295-7984 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern
Time, Monday to Friday.
Our Web site is hosted on servers owned and managed by a
third-party, Canaca.com Internet Solutions. Any personal
information collected on our behalf by Canaca.com Internet
Solutions, such as server log data (see below), is managed
in accordance with this privacy policy, and is protected
by applicable law.
Server logs: Our
servers automatically log information about visits to our
Web site in the normal course of establishing and maintaining
Web connections. Server logs record statistical information,
such as visitors' IP addresses, type of operating systems,
time and duration of visit, Web pages requested, and identify
categories of visitors by items such as domains and browser
types. These statistics are reported in aggregate form to
our Web and communications staff, and are used to improve
our Web site and ensure that it provides the optimal Web
experience for visitors. We do not link server log information
to any other data in a way that would enable us to identify
individual visitors. However, we may review server logs
for security purposes, for example, to detect intrusions
into our network. The possibility therefore exists that
server log data, which contains visitors' IP addresses,
could in instances of criminal malfeasance be used to trace
and identify individuals. In such instances, raw data logs
would be shared with appropriate investigative bodies authorized
to investigate such breaches of security. Under normal circumstances,
these logs are retained for a maximum period of 45 days.
Cookies:
Our site does not make use of cookies. Cookies are small
text files offered to your computer by Web servers in order
to keep track of your browser as you navigate the site.
Other sites to which we provide links may be governed by
different policies. Doug Massey’s Webbed Feet Solutions
does not assume responsibility for the information practices
of these other Web sites, and we strongly encourage all
Web visitors to review the privacy policies and statements
of all externally-linked sites. All externally linked sites
will open in new browser windows.

be directed to our Chief Privacy Officer, Mr. Doug Massey,
who is also the owner of Doug Massey’s Webbed Feet
Solutions. You can contact Mr. Massey by e-mail at info@webbedfeet.ca,
