Calgary Co-op does not automatically collect any information that could be used to identify you as an individual from your use of our website. Information such as your name, phone number or email address is only obtained if you voluntarily supply it. Whenever you send email through the Calgary Co-op website or the websites of its subsidiary co-operatives or request a response via email you are providing us with personal information in the form of your personal email address. This information will be used to respond to your inquiries and may be stored for future correspondence. Your email address will not be sold, leased or rented to any organization or individual. It is important that when corresponding with Calgary Co-op or its subsidiary co- operatives via email you do not include any confidential information.

If personal information is sent to us through unencrypted email, Calgary Co-op assumes no liability should this information become public through no fault of Calgary Co-op.
When you visit the websites of Calgary Co-op or its subsidiary co-operatives we may automatically collect non-identifiable information such as the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer used to contact our website. As you move within our website we may collect information such as which pages were visited and what page content was downloaded.

This allows us to continually develop our website to meet the needs of our visitors. No specific information about your particular actions on these websites will be retained.
When you visit our Internet sites, we may use a browser feature called a “cookie”. A “cookie” is a small text file containing an identification number that identifies your Internet browser to our computers each time you visit our website. A cookie file does not contain any personal information unless you supply the information yourself. Accepting a cookie does not give anyone access to your computer or access to any personal information.

The open nature of the Internet is such that information may flow over networks without security measures and may be accessed by people other than those for whom the data is intended. Although Calgary Co-op has implemented industry standard security precautions any information transmitted to us over the Internet cannot be guaranteed as 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot guarantee the security of the information you transmit to us over the Internet and you do so at you own risk.
