The Internet contains a wealth of
information. It may contain personal details about you that
you do not want everyone to know. For example, your real
name, street address, phone number or e-mail address that
you provide us so that we can respond to your request for
information or service.
The Town of Rimbey is strongly
committed to protecting the privacy of its user community.
The intent of this privacy policy is to clarify what
information may be obtained about users of the Town of
Rimbey website, how this information is used and our
disclosure practices. Please note that this information may
be updated at any time in order to address new issues and
reflect changes on our website. We will post those changes
here as they occur, so you will always be aware of our
current policies. This privacy policy applies only to the
Town of Rimbey's website and not to other community, company
or organization sites to which we provide links.
When you voluntarily send us
electronic mail or complete an electronic form that includes
identifying information about you, we will keep a record of
this information so that we can respond to you. Collected
personal information will only be used by authorized Town of
Rimbey staff to fulfill the purpose for which it was
originally collected or for a use consistent with that
purpose. However, be assured that the Site Owner will not
disclose your personal information to third parties without
your consent or as authorized by law.
Site Usage Information
Every computer connected to the
Internet is given a domain name and an IP (Internet
Protocol) address, containing a set of numbers. This
information reveals nothing personal about the visitor.
When a visitor requests a page from
within the Town of Rimbey's website, our web servers
automatically recognize that computers' IP address and
domain name. Such data is used in the aggregate to help
determine general usage patterns and fine tune layout
patterns to ensure our site is as "User Friendly"
as possible. This information is not collected or evaluated
for individuals and our web servers do not automatically
record e-mail addresses.
The Site Owner will share aggregate
information about our users; for example, we will say that X
number of users visited our transit pages in the past month
or X% of users were searching for information about snow
removal services.
