The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and Parks and Natural Areas Division are committed to providing visitors with web sites that respect their privacy. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Parks Reservation Web site.

The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Parks Reservation Web site does not automatically gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or e-mail address. We would only obtain this information if you supply it by sending us an e-mail or registering in a secure portion of the site. |
|
All personal information held or collected by the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Parks Reservation Web site is protected under the provincial Privacy Act. This means that at any point of collection you will be asked for consent to collect your information, and you will be informed of the purpose for which it is being collected and how to exercise your right of access to that information. |

The Newfoundland and Labrador Parks Reservation Web site employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. This software receives and records the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that has contacted our Web site, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected. |
|
The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Parks Reservation Web site occasionally uses “cookies” to track how our visitors use this site or to determine sites previously visited. The cookies we use do not allow us to identify individuals. They are compiled into statistical information on traffic patterns and are used to assess site efficiency. The system will notify you before any cookies are used so that you may refuse them, and the refusal of cookies will not affect the site performance or restrict your ability to access information from this site. (A “cookie” is a file that may be placed on your hard drive without your knowledge by a Web site to allow it to monitor your use of the site.) |
|
Information on individuals who complete a reservation transaction using the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Parks Reservation Web site is used by Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Parks employees who need to know the information in order to respond to your request or to ensure the security of this system. We only share the information you give us with another government department if your inquiry relates to that department and is consistent with the purpose of the inquiry. We do not use the information to create individually identifiable profiles, nor do we disclose this information to anyone outside the provincial government. |
