At OSACH, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Statement describes the information we collect via the OSACH web site (www.osach.ca), how we collect and use that information, and how we protect your privacy. If you have additional questions, please contact us at info@osach.ca.

What information does OSACH collect? How does OSACH collect this information, and how is it used?

• We collect personal information such as names, addresses, e-mail addresses and some demographic information when submitted by you through our registration process, surveys and/or other information gathering processes.
   
• Your e-mail address is used only to send you information you've requested (such as electronic newsletters), to administer surveys, and/or to respond to communications from you. Demographic information is used only in summary form to assist us in identifying our clients and their interests, or to help us develop conclusions about survey results. We do not use this information for other purposes.
   
• We do not use "cookies," i.e. small pieces of information that are stored on users' computers (see definition below) to recognize returning visitors, monitor site traffic, and identify unique visitors to the site.
   
• If, at any time, you want to correct, update or delete any of the information we have collected from you, or you do not want to receive any further information from us, let us know by contacting us at info@osach.ca. Please be sure to include in your message the means by which such information was submitted (e.g. our registration or other information-gathering processes) and the e-mail address you used so that we can verify your request.
   
• OSACH's web site provides links to the web sites of other Health and Safety Partners. These sites are not selected on the basis of their privacy policies. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of these sites, and we will not be held responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed by other sites.

• A cookie is a small file containing an ID number that is stored on users' computers. It is transferred to your hard drive by a Web server, and can only be read by that server. A cookie will not transmit information that you did not provide to us. Cookies are used, for example, to help identify unique visitors to a Web site and/or to help the user access their own data from a Web server data base. OSACH's web site does not use cookies.

• OSACH stores information in secure databases which can be accessed only by password. Please be aware, however, that information you disclose when you e-mail other users, post messages, or use any chat areas may be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or parties.

• OSACH may revise this Privacy Statement from time to time to reflect changes to our web site. As a result, you should visit this page periodically to review the contents. If OSACH wishes to use personal information it has collected for purposes other than those set out in this Statement, we will publish such changes before they take effect.
