This website is owned and operated by GHogan Consulting (GHC). We recognize that many visitors to our site are concerned about the information they provide to us, and how we treat that information. So we’ve developed a Privacy Policy to address those concerns. We may update the policy from time to time, so please check in occasionally.
GHC recognizes its obligation to its customers and online visitors to adhere to the highest standards of decency, fairness and integrity in all its operations. Likewise, GHC is dedicated to the fundamentals of protecting consumer privacy on the Internet.
GHC respects your privacy. As you may be aware, in an effort to respond to the privacy concerns of Canadians, the federal government enacted the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Effective January 1, 2004, PIPEDA and applicable provincial legislation have established certain principles for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in Canada. As part of our commitment to you, we have adopted a comprehensive privacy policy and appointed a Privacy Officer. If you have any questions about how GHC protects and uses your personal information please contact us.
Information we collect and what we do with it
At our site we don’t collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. We do not require this information for customers to obtain access to any of our material. However, in order to participate in some of the programs offered on the GHC website, you may have to provide personal information. If you register in order to use special purpose features of our site, we use the information you supply for the purpose of providing the services you’ve requested. If you specifically agree to follow-up contacts by us or ask to be put on our mailing list when you register, we may also contact you from time to time. You can always change your preference for follow-up contacts just by emailing us at the address listed below. We don’t share any information you give us with anyone outside of GHC.
In the email section of our site, we ask for some personally identifiable information, such as your name and phone number. We use this information only if we need to contact you directly because our attempts to contact you by email were unsuccessful. We don’t use the information internally for other purposes, and we don’t share it with anyone outside of GHC. We don’t use your email address for any purpose other than responding to the message you’ve sent, unless we have your permission.

GHC may use “cookie” technology to obtain non-personal information from its online visitors. Cookies are information files that your web browser places on your computer when you visit a website. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but can be configured not to accept them or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. We do not extract personal information in this process nor do we provide this information to third parties. We also do not contact you. Cookies allow us to customize your user interface to speed up the navigation process and to make the site experience more efficient. If your browser is configured to reject cookies, you may not be able to use all features of the GHC web site.
Once accepted, a cookie can be stored on your computer by your browser. When you log in, this type of cookie tells us whether you’ve visited us before or are a new visitor. We do use the cookie to help us identify site features, in which you have the greatest interest, so that we can provide more of what you find interesting.
Links
The GHC websites may contain links to other sites. We make every effort to link only to websites that share our high standards of decency, fairness and integrity. We try our best to ensure that these links are safe, but the privacy and data collection practices on any linked websites are entirely separate from GHC and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Other websites, which may contain unsuitable material, may also link to the GHC website without our knowledge or consent. GHC has no responsibility for the content, policies or actions of these websites.
Security
GHC has taken steps to make all information received from our online visitors as secure as possible against unauthorized access and use. Personal information provided by customers is kept in our secure database. All information received from our customers is protected by our security measures, which are periodically reviewed. You should keep in mind, however, that no data transmission over the Internet is 100 per cent secure and any information disclosed online can potentially be collected and used by parties other than the intended recipient.
Changes and updates to the Privacy Policy
The GHC website content and features may be updated, revised, modified and supplemented. GHC reserves the right to change the information, features, policies, disclosures and disclaimers at any time. Changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on our website. Please check the policy periodically for changes. At the top of the policy we indicate the date of an update to the Privacy Policy. The continued use of the GHC websites following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy will mean you accept those changes.
Changes and access to personal information
GHC visitors who provide personal information to GHC can correct, update and delete personal information from our database at any time by sending an email to GHC by clicking on the hyperlink “Contact us” located at the bottom of each page of the NCC web sites.
