We are committed to providing websites that respect the privacy of visitors. This privacy notice summarizes the privacy policy and practices for our online activities.
All personal information collected by EGK Immigration Inc. is governed by the Privacy Act. You will be informed of the purpose for which your personal information is being collected and how to exercise your right of access to that information.
Web servers automatically collect certain information about a visit to a website, including the visitor’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP addresses are unique numbers assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISP) to all devices used to access the Internet. Web servers log the IP addresses of visitors. While an IP address alone does not identify an individual, it could be used to do so in certain circumstances, especially when combined with other data automatically collected during a visit, such as pages visited, date, and time.
We obtain this type of information only if you supply it to us, for example, by email or by filling in a contact form. In such cases, how your personal information is handled will be provided in a Personal Information Collection Statement.
If services are provided by organizations outside of EGK Immigration Inc., such as social media platforms or mobile applications, IP addresses may be recorded by the web server of the third-party service provider.
If you choose to send us an email or complete a feedback form online, your personal information is used to respond to your inquiry. The information you provide will only be shared with another government institution if your inquiry relates to that institution. We do not use the information to create individual profiles nor disclose the information to anyone other than those in the federal government who need to provide you with a response. Any disclosure of your personal information is in accordance with the Privacy Act.
A digital marker is a resource created by the visitor’s browser to remember certain pieces of information for the web server to reference during the same or subsequent visit to the website. Examples of digital markers include "cookies" or HTML5 web storage. Digital markers allow a website to recognize a previous visit and track information viewed on the site.
We use sessional and persistent digital markers on some portions of our website. During your online visit, your browser exchanges data with our web server. The digital markers used do not allow us to identify individuals.
Web analytics is the collection, analysis, measurement, and reporting of data about web traffic and visits, for purposes of understanding and optimizing web usage. Information in digital markers may be used for the purpose of web analytics to remember your online interactions with our website. When you visit our website, we collect the following information:
● IP address of the device (which is not stored or retained in a format that can be used to identify a visitor)
● Type of browser
● Type of operating system
● Date and time of the visit
● Pages visited and documents downloaded
We use services from two third-party service providers, Adobe Systems Inc. (Adobe Analytics) and Google Inc. (Google Analytics), to improve our website. To protect information about visitors, we use a feature that hides part or all of the IP address before it is stored.
These service providers are based in the United States of America, meaning personal information collected is transmitted outside of Canada and may be subject to U.S. laws, including the U.S. Patriot Act. Adobe and Google also operate servers in other countries where web analytics data may be processed, subject to the governing legislation of those countries. For Adobe Analytics, personal information can only be stored on servers in specified countries.

We employ software programs to monitor network traffic and identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. This software records the IP address of the computer contacting our website, the date and time of the visit, and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals unless an attempt to damage the site is detected.
We are committed to achieving a high standard of accessibility as defined in the Standard on Web Accessibility and the Standard on Optimizing Websites and Applications for Mobile Devices. If you encounter difficulty using our web pages, applications, or device-based mobile applications, please contact us for assistance or to obtain alternative formats such as regular print, Braille, or another appropriate format.
