Privacy notice
The Government of Canada and the Canada Industrial Relations Board are committed to providing websites that respect visitors’ privacy. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices related to the Board’s website.
The Canada Industrial Relations Board’s website does not automatically gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or email address. We only obtain that information if you supply it by email.
- All personal information created, held or collected by this organization in relation to persons visiting its website is protected under the federal Privacy Act. This means that at any point of collection you will be asked for consent to collect your information and that you will be informed of the purpose for which it is being collected and of how to exercise your right to access that information.
- The Board uses software to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or to otherwise cause damage. The software receives and records the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of computers that contact our website, the dates and times of the visits and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link those IP addresses with the identities of individuals visiting our site unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected.
- The Board does not normally use "cookies" to track how visitors use its site or to determine sites that the visitors previously viewed. The system will notify you before any cookies are used so that you may refuse them.

- Information about individual visitors is used by those Board employees who need to know the information in order to respond to the visitors’ requests or to ensure the security of the system. We share the information you give us with other government departments only if your inquiry relates to another department. We do not use the information to create individual profiles or disclose it to anyone outside the federal government.
