Privacy and Site Policy



Introduction

The Office of the Manitoba Ombudsman has developed this web site as a public resource for people seeking information about the work of the Ombudsman's Office under The Ombudsman Act, The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, and The Personal Health Information Act. The following policies govern the operation and management of the web site.


What Personal Information We Collect and How We Use It

We do not accept complaints under the Acts from our web site (http://www.ombudsman.mb.ca), to minimize the amount of personal information collected over the Internet.

When you visit our web site, we only collect information that is essential for the operation and security of the web site. The web server automatically collects your Internet domain name or IP address, which may identify you. This information is collected so that we know how many people visit our site, the geographical region they are from, and which pages they view on our site. The collection of this information is in conformity with sections 36(1)(b) and 36(2) of The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The information is grouped into statistics, so individuals are not identified in statistical reports. The statistical information is kept for up to six years before it is destroyed.

We do not use cookies on this web site and we do not disclose your information to any public bodies, trustees, agencies or individuals.

These sections have been reproduced for the convenience of visitors to our site.
