1. Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://nordicstudies.ca/ blog posts. Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

2. Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies’s websites choose to interact with Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies in ways that require Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who leave a comment at https://nordicstudies.ca/ to provide a username and email address.

3. Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies, third parties or the public at large.

If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Canadian Initiative for Nordic Studies takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
