The DRDC Website does not automatically gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or email address. We would obtain this type of information only if you supply it by sending us an email or registering in a secure portion of the Website.
All personal information created, held or collected by DRDC is protected under the federal Privacy Act. This means that at any point of collection, you will be informed of the purpose for which it is being collected and told how to exercise your right of access to that information.
DRDC employs software programs to monitor network traffic and to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage. These programs are also used to gather anonymous information, such as statistics, to improve the functionality of our Websites. These software programs receive and record the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that has contacted our website, the date and time of the visit, and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our Website unless an attempt to damage the Website has been detected.

DRDC Website disclaims all liability with regard to your access to linked websites. When you link to websites external to the DRDC Website, you do so at your own risk. DRDC makes every effort to ensure that our links to third party websites lead to content that is accessible and available in both official languages. However, that is not always feasible or possible.
