Privacy Policy

Your Privacy and the Internet

Specific personal information, such as your name, phone number or email address, is not automatically gathered. Canadian Tax Amnesty would only obtain this type of information if you supply it by email or by registering in a secure portion of the site for a program or service (e.g. personal information provided voluntarily when you complete an online form or request for service).

The nature of the Internet is such that 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 automatically log the IP addresses of visitors to their sites. The IP address, on its own, does not identify an individual. However, in certain circumstances, such as with the co-operation of an ISP for example, it could be used to identify an individual using the site. For this reason, the Government of Canada considers the IP address to be personal information, particularly when combined with other data automatically collected when a visitor requests a Web page such as the page or pages visited, date and time of the visit.

In cases where services are provided by organizations outside of the Canadian Tax Amnesty, such as social media platforms, search or mobile applications, IP addresses may be recorded by the third-party service provider.

All personal information created, held or collected by Canadian Tax Amnesty is protected under the federal Privacy Act. At any point of collection, you will be asked for consent to collect your information or you will be advised of the authority for such collection. You will also be informed of the purpose for which the personal information is being collected, and how to exercise your right of access to, and correction of, that information. In such cases, how your personal information is handled is described in a Personal Information Collection Statement.

Visitors' personal information is not usually disclosed to anyone except Canadian Tax Amnesty personnel who need the information to carry out their responsibilities. Any further disclosure of the personal information you provide would be in accordance with the federal Privacy Act and Part 4 of the Department of Employment and Social Development Act (DESDA) if applicable.

Google Analytics Usage by Canadian Tax Amnesty

Canadian Tax Amnesty utilizes Google Analytics, a web analytics service offered by Google Inc. Google Analytics deploys "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to analyze how users navigate the site. The information produced by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

We employ this data to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and deliver other services related to website activity and internet usage. This analysis aids us in improving our services, user experience, and the structure of our website.

Opting Out of Google Analytics

We understand that not all visitors wish to have their web visit data stored. Consequently, Google provides an opt-out component for its Analytics program. If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics data collection, you can download and install a browser add-on available here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. Note that this will opt you out of Google Analytics on all websites, not solely on Canadian Tax Amnesty.

Alternatively, you may adjust your browser settings to reject cookies, which will also prevent Google Analytics from storing your data. However, please be aware that rejecting cookies may impact your user experience on our site and limit your access to certain features.
