The Government of Canada and Transport Canada are committed to providing visitors with Web sites that respect their privacy. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on Tranport Canada Web sites.

- All personal information created, held or collected by this department 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 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 system will notify you before any cookies are used so that you may refuse them.

- Information on individual visitors is used by Transport Canada 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. We do not use the information to create individual profiles, nor do we disclose this information to anyone outside the Government of Canada.
- Transport Canada is a participant in the Government of Canada Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), which gives you the opportunity to communicate with the Department in a confidential manner. You may find additional information on PKI and how to use it here.
