The Englandeh.ca Privacy Policy describes how personal information is collected and used when you use the services provided by Englandeh.ca.

Privacy Definitions

Personal information

“Personal information” is information that you provide to us which personally identifies you, such as your name, email address or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information.

Login Account

You may access some of our services through a third party "login account". Account providers accepted by Englandeh.ca are Google, Yahoo!, AOL, Facebook, and OpenID. Signing up to obtain a login account will require providing some personal information (typically your name, email address and a password) with the third party account provider. This account information will be used to authenticate you when you access Englandeh.ca services and protect your account from unauthorized access by others. Personal information that you provide when signing up with a third party login account is subject to the terms of service and privacy policy of the account provider. Consult with you account provider on how to modify or control what type of data is shared with Englandeh.ca.

Cookie

A “cookie” is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies.

IP address

Every computer connected to the Internet is assigned a unique number known as an Internet protocol (IP) address. Since these numbers are usually assigned in country-based blocks, an IP address can often be used to identify the country from which a computer is connecting to the Internet.

Server logs

Like most Web sites, our servers automatically record the page requests made when users visit our sites. These “server logs” typically include your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.

Here is an example of a typical log entry, followed by a breakdown of its parts: 

123.45.67.89 - - [03/Mar/2009:17:48:13 -0800] "GET /img/anonymous.jpg 
HTTP/1.1" 200 1179 "http://www.englandeh.ca/" "Mozilla/4.0

.NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30),gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe)

• 123.45.67.89 is the Internet Protocol address assigned to the user by the user’s ISP; depending on the user’s service, a different address may be assigned to the user by their service provider each time they connect to the Internet;

• 03/Mar/2009:17:48:13 -0800 is the date and time of the query; 

• GET /img/anonymous.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 1179 "http://www.englandeh.ca/ 
  is the requested URL, including the type of http request; 
  

• Mozilla/4.0; Windows NT 5.2 is the browser and operating system being used.

Sensitive information

“Sensitive personal information” includes information we know to be related to confidential medical information, racial or ethnic origins, political or religious beliefs or sexuality and tied to personal information.

Aggregated non-personal information

“Aggregated non-personal information” is information that is recorded about users and collected into groups so that it no longer reflects or references an individually identifiable user.
