What's our policy?
CAF-FCA is committed to protecting the privacy of its clients and we have taken strong measures to ensure that the information we gather from you will be secure and confidential. The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum – Forum canadien sur l’apprentissage (CAF-FCA) is committed to protecting and safeguarding the personal information it collects. CAF-FCA provides this Privacy Policy Statement to inform you of our privacy policy and practices as well as of the choices you can make on how your personal information is collected and used. We will not disclose or use any of your personal information other than for its intended purposes set out in the CAF-FCA’s mandate without obtaining consent from you. We will also ensure that any third parties contracted by CAF-FCA, are compliant with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents (PIPED) Act. This statement applies to all CAF-FCA’s owned websites and domains. CAF-FCA protects your electronic and paper based data with security systems to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure or misuse.

Our websites have been structured so that, in general, you can visit CAF-FCA on the web without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. We do not use our website to gather any personal information other than that which you affirmatively agree to supply to us. This information is only obtained if you supply it voluntarily, usually through contacting us via e-mail or signing a “Consent Form”, (Form 1). Any personal information you do provide is protected under the Federal Privacy Act. This means that, at the point of collection, you will be informed that your personal information is being collected, the purpose for which it is being collected and that you have a right of access to the information. This notice is available on our homepage and at the bottom of every CAF-FCA’s web page.
