Privacy Policy - Online
The Institute for the Advancement of Self Psychology (IASP) is
committed to protecting the privacy of any personal information you may
provide when visiting the Web Intranet site www.iasptoronto.com. Part of
that commitment is to explain what information may be collected and why,
how it will be used and who may have access to it. Our practices have
been designed to ensure compliance with the privacy provisions of the
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act
(PIPEDA).
This privacy statement applies to interactions with the IASP Web
Intranet server. It does not apply to any other Web site. Following is
an overview of our Web Intranet site practices.
Personal Information
When you visit IASP sites, you do so anonymously - there is no need
to tell us who you are. The Web server does not collect or retain your
e-mail address. However, if you are completing a registration form you
may be asked to provide your name along with other personal information
and your e-mail address for the purpose of confirming your course
registration request. Only those who "need to know" will have access to
the personal information provided.
Encryption technology protects personal information during
transmission. A notice stating you are in a secure site will appear on
the screen when you are in an encrypted session. A security icon will
also appear in the lower left corner of the browser window. Secure
screens are not saved to temporary caches on a computer. Once you exit
secure screens, those screens cannot be accessed again. If encryption is
not available through the site, an alternative means of communication
will be recommended.
Any IASP site where personal information is requested will contain a
notice outlining the following information:
- the purpose for collecting the personal information;
- how it will be used and who will have access to it;
- who to contact if you have any questions about these
practices.
Personal information is disposed of according to a records retention
schedule. To ensure personal information is unrecoverable, a utility
program is used to remove the electronic data and any paper records
generated are shredded.
Logging Practices
IASP logs HTTP requests to the Web server. These logs record the IP
address of site visitors. An IP address is the number automatically
assigned to the computer requesting a URL.
Our logging is passive and we don't use technologies (e.g. cookies or
web bugs) to maintain any information on site visitors. Logged
information, also known as clickstream data, is recorded in
non-identifiable form and is used by IASP staff or those under contract
for Intranet site system administration. Log files are archived and used
for systems analysis, maintenance and site evaluation.
