Privacy Notice
The Government of Nunavut is committed to providing visitors with web sites that
respect their privacy. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on
Government of Nunavut Web sites.
- Government of Nunavut Web sites do not automatically gather any specific
personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or e-mail
address. We would only obtain this type of information if you supply it by
sending us an e-mail or registering in a secure portion of the site.
- All personal information created, held or collected by this department is
protected under the
Nunavut Access to Information and Protection of 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 Government of Nunavut 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 Government of Nunavut does not normally use cookies to track how our
visitors use this site or to determine sites previously visited. If cookies are
in use and you have your cookies notification option activated on your browser
the system will notify you before any cookies are used so that you may refuse
them. (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.)
- Government of Nunavut employees who need to know the information in order to
respond to your request or to ensure the security of this system may use
information on individual visitors when provided. We only share the information
you give us with another government department if your inquiry relates to that
department. We do not use the information to create individual profiles, nor do
we disclose this information to anyone outside the federal government.

Nunavut Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act in the Government of
