Terms and Conditions

Privacy

The Canada Agricultural Review Tribunal (CART), as a portfolio organization of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and the Government of Canada, is committed to providing visitors websites that respect their privacy. The following summarizes the privacy policy and practices on CART's web site:

• The Tribunal does not automatically gather any personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or e-mail address. This type of information would only be obtained if you supply it voluntarily, usually by sending an e-mail.
• The Tribunal uses software that receives and records the Internet Protocol addresses of computers that have connected to the web site. No attempt is made to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting the web site unless an attempt to damage the web site has been detected.
• The Tribunal does not normally use "cookies" to track how visitors use this web site or to determine sites previously visited. This being said, web services are provided with the help of the Ministry of Agriculture and Agri-Food and they may use this information to perform routine functions. (Note: Cookies are files that a web site can place on your hard drive, without your knowledge, to monitor your use of that site).
• Personal information provided is normally used by Tribunal employees who need to know the information to respond to requests or to ensure the security of this system. Such information will only be shared with another government department if the inquiry relates to that department. The Tribunal does not use the information to create individual profiles, nor does it disclose this information to anyone outside the federal government, unless expressly requested by the individual.

Questions or comments regarding this policy may be directed to 613-792-2087.

Social Media

CART uses Twitter as a communications tool, in order to facilitate conversations (e.g. questions and answers, comments, "likes", retweets) between people and to promote Tribunal matters to a broader public audience. CART's official social media account is public and is not hosted on CART's servers. CART abides by the Twitter Terms of Use and expects other users to abide by these same rules. While CART strives to offer balanced, informative and helpful information on topics of interest to the Tribunal, actions of the Tribunal on Twiter do not represent an endorsement of any kind of any individual or actor.

Our social media pages on third-party social media sites are accessible to the public and, as such, the comments you write or post are not private. We are not responsible for personal information posted by participants. To protect your own privacy and the privacy of others, CART recommends that you be very careful about what you post. Avoid posting anything personal about yourself or anyone else.

Information you post to our third-party social media pages may be copied, stored, accessed or disclosed by CART in response to a request under either of these Acts. It may also be used to respond to inquiries, or for statistical, evaluation and reporting purposes.

Any personal information collected through this process is collected in accordance with the Communications Policy of the Government of Canada.

Hyperlinking Notice

Some of the information on this web site has been provided by external sources. The Canada Agricultural Review Tribunal is not responsible for the quality, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose of products or services available on external sites and listed or described on our menu, nor is the Tribunal responsible for the accuracy, reliability or currency of the information contained on the web site and supplied by external sources.

Generally, Government of Canada institutions encourage third parties to link to their sites. Organizations wishing to link to the CART's web site, therefore, do not need to request permission to do so. We do, however, ask that you follow these linking practices:

• Use only text links for linking to the Department's web sites.
• Do not link and/or use the official symbols of the Government of Canada and Federal Identity Program signatures as navigational aids.
• The official symbols of the Government of Canada and the Federal Identity Program signatures appear on non-government sites only when they are used to identify a government contribution or participation in a Collaborative Arrangement.
• The creation of a link does not confuse the user as to the source of the information through such practices as framing.
• The links provided respect the ownership and usage of content provided on this site notice that governs information published on the Department's web sites.

Non-commercial Reproduction
