You can visit all public areas of our site without providing any personal information about yourself. Our web site collects only non-personal information based on a visitor's Internet Protocol (IP) address (this is not personally identifiable). Information collected includes the date and time of visit, the type of Internet browser used to access the site, the referring address (the link a visitor uses to access the site). This data is used to create statistics on site usage and improve online services.
Our internal web sites are solely for the use of authorized members of boards, committees, management and staff of the Canadian Credit Union System. Access requires a special "User Name" and "Password." Information that is collected is for site management purposes.

If you send us an e-mail, any information provided by you will only be used for the purposes of responding to your inquiry or acting on your request. We will not use your name or e-mail address for any other purposes without additional consent.
Any e-mail message you send us is not encrypted and therefore is non-secure and as open to interception as any other non-encrypted form of communication (e.g. ordinary mail, conversations on ordinary or cellular telephones, etc). Credit Union Central of Canada accepts no responsibility for the security of confidential information forwarded to it by e-mail, and expressly discourages users of this web site from sending confidential information in this manner.
If you do communicate with us by e-mail, we will assume, unless you advise us otherwise, that you consent to our using the information you have sent to us, including your e-mail address, for the purpose of developing and sending an appropriate response to your communication, and disclosing it to such other parties as we deem appropriate for that purpose.
Our web site contains links to many other web sites, some of which are part of or affiliated with the Canadian credit union system. When you leave our site to visit one of these other sites, the only information transferred to the new site is the fact that you came from the Canadian Central Web site (the referring address). Transmission of this referring address allows other sites to monitor their own Web traffic, but does not disclose any personal information about you.
Canadian Central is not responsible for the privacy policies or content of any linked sites. Our Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by this web site. You should consult the privacy policies at linked sites to determine how your personal information may be used.
