How does CAPE collect information online?
|
|
| CAPE collects information in two ways:
|
|
|
| A. Personal Information You Submit to CAPE:
|
|
|
| CAPE collects personal information that you enter into data fields on CAPE Websites. For example, you may submit your name, postal address, e-mail address, and/or other information in order to receive information about various subjects, register for CAPE programmes, contact CAPE customer service, or respond to CAPE surveys. To protect your privacy, you should not provide CAPE with any information that is not specifically requested.

|
|
| B. Passive Collection of Unidentifiable Information:
|
|
|
| CAPE Websites may collect information about your visits without you actively providing it. This is done through various technologies, such as, including but not limited to cookies and Web Beacons. Cookies are small text files saved on your computer's hard drive by a website. They help the website recognize your device. Web beacons are known as GIFs, pixels, or Internet tags, these help identify a unique cookie on your browser. Your browser automatically sends information to CAPE’s websites like the last website you visited and your browser type. These passive technologies help CAPE improve its websites, and may use this data to enhance user experience, customize the site based on user preferences, compile statistics and analyse usage trends. Some website features might not work if these technologies are disabled. The information these technologies collect is not sufficient to identify you on its own. CAPE will not link it with other identifiable information unless necessary. For information on how to limit or disable these tracking technologies, see “What choices to I have?”

However, keep in mind that some online services from CAPE require your personal information to work. Additionally, CAPE may offer you the choice to join their contact lists for special offers, promotions, and other services, which you can opt into. Regarding tracking technologies like cookies, you may indicate in preference settings (if such settings are afforded to you) if you don't want these technologies to remember your information, such as mailing addresses, for future visits. It's important to note, though, that not all CAPE Websites allow you to opt out of tracking technologies that collect non-identifiable information. In such a situation, you may choose not to continue with the website and leave immediately. Some internet browsers also give you the option to limit or disable the use of such tracking technologies.
